16. LTTE Response from a Freeper (That is, one who doesn't "get it")

RANTS & RAVES: Mayor could have said much more to atheists' group

Here's the letter Mayor Peyton should have written to the American Atheists:

Dear godless liberals,

We're deeply sorry if the city and people of Jacksonville offended you with our faith in God, Allah, Krishna, Buddha or a higher power to be named later. It was thoughtless for the city to support an interfaith gathering devoted to bringing our community closer together and ending the senseless violence bloodying our streets. We realize now that some people - mostly insecure, self-centered, twisted and hateful people like yourselves - feel threatened by prayer, and we pray, well, we hope, you'll forgive us ...

We understand you are concerned about taxpayer money being spent on non-secular events. But we're just wondering where that $5,000 settlement you won comes from. Surely you wouldn't take it out of the pockets of the same taxpayers?



This nameless individual doesn't understand the Constitution.

To reiterate:

Cindy Laquidara, chief deputy general counsel, said the settlement is not an admission the city violated the Constitution by financing the event. It simply ends a potentially costly federal lawsuit.


It would be costly because it's Illegal and they'd lose! Big duh.

-Cindy in Fort Lauderdale
