The evidence suggests, I think, that he feels oppressed when it is suggested that he cannot pray anywhere, anytime. To do so is, after all, a kind of freedom too. What people like him fail to appreciate, it seems, is that that "freedom" conflicts with the "freedom" not to have religion (or a particular religion) shoved down one's throat--or, anyway, to have it imposed on an audience in a community that supposedly has learned to protect against the imposition of religion by government authorities. People like Fuentes are suspiciously selective in what they'll recognize as part of our cultural/political heritage. That we struggled to get away from imposed religion is not, it seemed, recognized by Fuentes' crowd or the newer "Tea Party" crowd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-18514095241629673532011-03-07T15:14:09.650-08:002011-03-07T15:14:09.650-08:00Your position is well stated, 12:23, but I'm s...Your position is well stated, 12:23, but I'm suspicious as to what the man's motives are. As he is somewhat reptilian (and sorry to insult reptiles), he's probably just doing the usual red meat tossing to make himself look like the defender of the put upon Christian faithful, who get picked on all the time by the big meanies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-82725050625948396552011-03-07T12:23:16.600-08:002011-03-07T12:23:16.600-08:00Most of his constituents are Christian--and certai...Most of his constituents are Christian--and certainly theistic. He would likely argue that he is doing the will of the people who elected him and that the minority who feel otherwise are not hurt by the prayers, in part because the audience comprises adults. Some are angered, not by his desire to engage in prayer (in this setting), but by his seeming refusal to temper or restrict his prayers to something more universal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-24463636356608760042011-03-07T10:48:32.186-08:002011-03-07T10:48:32.186-08:00Isn't the problem here the self righteous use ...Isn't the problem here the self righteous use of the word "we"? If the fellow wants to say "I," as in "the god of whom I speak" then it's somewhat less presumptuous.
