Can someone please explain to me the war on religion that Dems are waging? [View all]

Last edited Sat Feb 4, 2012, 07:20 PM - Edit history (1)

I scratch my head and say wtf everytime I hear this talking point.

Are there any examples? Is it because there will be a public outcry when there are religious displays on public property because that is against the first amendment?

I really don't understand this talking point especially when it comes to President Obama's war on religion?
I haven't seen this from him or heard his say anything derogatory about religion.

The only person I can think of that has a war on religion is Bill Maher, and he is proud to own it.

Please enlighten me on what the rw wackos are talking about! As usual, I have no clue when it comes to rw talking points

edit for typo - I have become one big typo
