Fundie of the week

In an op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-Con, an Air Force Academy grad and Vietnam vet writes that the Christian fundies are actually good for the Air Force Academy. (Use BugMeNot for a login and password that will allow you to read the screed.) He's not being ironic, either. He just lays it right out there, like one of those guys in a bukkake film whose come shoots out hard, straight, and all at once -- and yet there's little actual content. The best he can come up with is that when he was at the school 40 years ago the guys who talked about Jesus were known as the "good guys" and it sure never hurt anyone back then. How the fuck does he know?! Like a Jewish kid would make waves in 1964 in the middle of Corn Land.

For a little balance, here's the NYT editorial on the matter. But to hell with balance, here's another flamer who says:

these examples pale in comparison to the almost daily accounting by students who have to endure lectures by anti-Christian professors who use their classrooms to intimidate the religious beliefs of their captive audience...

et blah blah blah. And this just in: Where are the next generation of young conservatives spending the summer? At the abundantly funded Heritage Foundation. Funny Wonkette take.
