TN bigot...

[Archae]

I feel sorry for anyone who has this assclown as a representative.


Earlier this week, Tennessee State Representative Rick Womick made news when he told Think Progress that Muslims ought to be banned from serving in the US military and all Muslims currently serving ought to be forced out.

Such statements, of course, were music to Bryan Fischer's ears as he has been calling for Muslims to be banned from the military for years now.

So it was only a matter of time before Womick showed up on Fischer's radio program to defend his views and say that Muslims shouldn't be allowed to serve in the military until we can get the "Muslim community to get its act together" and denounce Sharia ... and if they don't like it, then "they can go back to where they came from":

1. I think that these two men should climb back into Satan's ass where they came from

7. Oh god. I don't think I have laughed so hard tonight, Angry Dragon

you are my new hero.

I personally think they need to replace every booted muslim soldier with a fat porky member of congress or a legislature and send them over in their place. why get some nice religious kid killed when satan's supository can go instead?

2. these statements seem just a wee bit extreme

10-1 these folks are also stealth white supremacists.

3. I'm atheist and will never believe that all (people of certain religion)

should be banned from anything in America. keep in mind that people like Womick, Bachmann, and anyone who'll spew out shocking eliminationist rhetoric like this are enabled by like-minded voters.

4. I keep checking to make sure the First Amendment is still in the Constitution

Too many people in power seem to have problems with it, and want to ignore it.

5. He's right--they can't be trusted

6. I agree with him. Let's have ourselves a Pogrom against Muslims in this nation.

Then let's go after the Catholics, they're not 'Real Christians' according to some, and the Jews, Hell, we ^know* they aren't Christians, then the Methodists, the Lutherans, the Mormons who are weird cultists anyway, the Presbyterians, the Episcopalians, the Baptists, fuck it, let's send all them sons of bitches back to where they came from!


One must be careful of what one wishes for, because the consequences sometimes don't play out exactly as one thought they would.

9. Lame pandering

Our military is pretty tolerant of the major religions. You are entitled to practice your religion in the military and you also get the appropriate funeral/headstone when you die. I agree that the Nidal Hassans of the world don't belong in the military, but to advocate excluding all Muslims is idiotic bullshit that's way beyond the pale.

12. You need to read up on the Air Force Academy. n/t

[RZM]

13. I'm aware of what has happened there

There have also been cases of evangelical US troops proselytizing in Afghanistan. Nonetheless, the Air Force Academy is a very small part of the larger military structure. As far as I know cadets there are still entitled to practice their religion and be buried in accordance with their beliefs, as is everybody else in the military.

10. Everyone should be glad they don't live in TN...

TN is full of crazies....you can not even talk to these people, they have one way their way.
