Separation of Christ and State

Wednesday: Wall of silence broken at state's Muslim public school

Here in MN a nice lefty blue state, the separation of "Church and State" is an important principal (in theory). The issue is ALWAYS Christ, not "religion". Muslims may have 10 times the restrictive rules on women, gays, casual sex, alcohol, drugs, etc and all the other fruits of the liberal spirit as Christians do, but the left STRONGLY prefers them to Christians. Katherine Kersten is the token conservative that the Red Star has hired to give people the false impression that the paper is something other than a liberal tract, so don't think that the leftys are turning here. They really don't care about "separation of muslims and state", in fact state funding of our own MN Madras is just peachy with them.

Why? I'd argue that my perennial claim that for liberals, consistency isn't an issue is flawed. They ARE consistently anti-American and anti-Christian. Post 9-11, Muslims have turned out to be a two-for! The left can show it's disdain for all things American by cozying up to the very folks that murdered 3K of their fellow citizens and at the same time thumb their noses at the supposed "Christian Nation". One might look at typical lefty beliefs and think that they would take a dim view of folks that go death penalty on anything from dissing Mohammed, gays, adultery, or a whole bunch of other stuff. A woman that is not in full Muslim garb is "open season" for rape, and the guys get off "free", just not their fault since she was "tempting". However, Muslims are BOTH anti-Christian and anti-American! Talk about your lefty win, win! They simply can't resist being smitten with that pair of very strong commitments, so they are willing to even have state funding of a religious school for them.

I've been perplexed the last couple days to try to figure out what had happened to the leftys on China. Back when China killing millions of their own people and supporting the genocidal Viet Cong as they killed both their countrymen and US soliders, Mao and his "Little Red Book" were complete darlings of the left. They were waving their flags and trying to dress like their "comrades". Back when the good old USSR that killed 40-60 million of it's own people was invading Afghanistan the leftys didn't even support their own Jimmuh Carter in his boycott of the games, let alone support any US efforts to help repel the Soviets. Commies have always been the kind of folks that your average blue state lefty finds worthy of admiration, no matter what their body count may be. They put Che Guevera on their T-shirts, and he was as blood thirsty a killer as one can find.

There seem to be very few theories around now as to why suddenly commies taking over countries and maybe killing a few folks is something that needs to be protested. What has happened:

• My main guess is that China just has gotten too friendly with the US and too prosperous. The left loves abject poverty and virulent anti-Americanism in their friends, and China no longer measures up. Being Anti-American is the big key -- one can even have a little money as long as your hatred of America credentials are strong, but start playing nice with the US and liberals no longer feel the love.
  
• One assertion is that the Dali Lama has enough Hollywood types in his spell that they have been able to lead the rest of the blue sheep to bleat against the evil China and the Olympics being held there.
  
• Since Bush is planning to go, it must be inherently bad to a lefty. At their level of logic, if Bush wants to do it, it HAS to be bad. I'm almost wondering if he ought not take a shot at a massive tax increase, immediate pullout of the troops from Iraq and Federally funded gay marriages before he leaves office here just to be certain that liberals would always be for tax cuts, a stable Iraq and marriage being between a man and a woman.
