The fundies now "own" the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 11:34 AM by Cyrano
Today's and yesterday's NY Times have stories on how the fundies now dominate the U.S. Air Force Academy, and have for years. The commanding general says "...it will take six years to fix the problem." SIX YEARS??? WTF!!!

(I'd post a link, but you have to register at nytimes.com)

I'm sick of these bugshit insane American taliban destroying our country and our freedoms. And I'm terrified at the idea of these lunatics flying planes carrying napalm and daisy cutters, not to mention nuclear weapons.

The Air Force Academy is a government institution. The fact that these right-wing Christo-fascist fanatics have gained control of it is a testimony to how far over the cliff the Bush Administration has taken us.

(Corrections: Yesterday's NY Times piece was an editorial. The piece I read today was a reprint of a Richard Cohen editorial column from the Washington Post. Why the hell aren't they front-page news stories?)

2. I don't think it was a coincidence
that Dobson built his organization in Co Springs. Hmmm...just after they allowed women in the Academy. Connection?

3. Dobson is a sick fanatic that attempts to shame Christ's
holy name. But even his putrid, bigoted behavior can't tarnish Christ. Dobson is a blight on society, and needs taken off the air. I can't stand this sick bastard. He is such a 'pusher' of hate and how can that be allowed on the air? I lived just south of the Springs, and they own the area, north of where I lived. But they don't own the state, thank God in heaven......
