re: #333 Cato the Elder

Reminds me of the brilliant US soldier in Florida who chased down and beat up a man who he thought was dressed as a terrorist.

The victim turned out to be a Greek Orthodox priest. They generally dress all in black, with funny hats.

Oh, and pectoral crosses. Those things are a dead giveaway that you’re a frickin’ Muslim terrorist.

Here in the neighborhood, people walk around in all kinds of garb. Djellabas and skullcaps. Long linen shirts. Saris. Turbans. I have yet to witness anyone get hated on for the clothes they wear or the language they speak. This would be the perfect neighborhood but for the unbearable Baltimore summers.

We’re getting a new pizza joint opening up soon. Franchise owned and run by Bangladeshi Muslims. So I was talking to one of them the other day and he noticed my gold cross and Star of David on my neck chain. I asked him where I could get a nice crescent-and-star to go with it, and he’s going to find me one.

I’m gonna be a walking, talking co-exist bumper sticker, hoping to blow minds on a daily basis.

Well, there this guy too:

Sen. Knotts Calls Haley a ‘[bigoted word],’ Says “We’re at war over there”

…Knotts said that South Carolina is a religious community.
“We need a good Christian to be our governor,” he said. “She’s hiding her religion. She ought to be proud of it. I’m proud of my god.”

Knotts says he believes Haley’s father has been sending letters to India saying that Haley is the first Sikh running for high office in America. He says her father walks around Lexington wearing a turban.

“We’re at war over there,” Knotts said.

Asked to clarify, he said he did not mean the United States was at war with India, but was at war with “foreign countries.”
