Yesterday could have been a new first for the Senate. There was a guest chaplain in to read the opening prayer. A Hindu prayer. The first time that religion's voice had been offered that honor.
Not a monumental or amazingly special first, but a good one.
And if that was all that happened it would have been a footnote in the historical archives of a country that prides itself on religious freedom. Most likely, no one would have heard about it or thought overly much about it.
But sadly, it's not. Some dumb fucks decided to interrupt the guy just before he spoke.
"Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight." Continuing into "No Lord but Jesus Christ!" and "There's only one true God!" as they were taken from the senate floor.
Seriously people. Try not to be ignorant bigots. You make the rest of the Christians look bad. Most of them are good people. But idiots like you are a fucking dark mark on them.
So, Operation Save America, who drove all the way to DC from North Carolina to be dicks. They even put out a press release taking responsibility and making some very common misstatements about the Founding Fathers.
Fuck you, asshats. You fail to live up to the precepts of your religion and, at the same time, besmirch those who practice your faith. Sit down, and shut the fuck up.
