Warren, MI Mayor Pretty Sure Atheists Are Just Like Nazis... Or The KKK... Take Your Pick

[doxydad]

Perhaps if you are a small-town mayor, you crave recognition. You just want someone to know you’re there, that you’re master of your tiny-ish domain. And any publicity is good publicity, right? So why not engage in a really cartoonish level of textbook bad behavior about religion and free speech, making it a foregone conclusion that the ACLU will sue your pants off? That’s really the only explanation we can think of to account for Jim Fouts, mayor of Warren, Michigan, who decided that he should compare atheists to Nazis and KKK members after they had the goddamn gall to ask to set up a little atheist chat-type thing next to the town’s Jesus station that lives in City Hall.

1. Fouts is completely insane

The article gives the impression that Fouts is a "small town mayor" .... he is the mayor of the third largest city in Michigan (and the largest Suburb of Detroit). I make this point because a lot of folk are impacted by this deranged psycho (sadly, I am one)

2. Lol, Fouts says that atheists are like Nazis because they disparage another group,

not noticing that he is disparaging another group when he says it.

3. He is batshit crazy ...NEVER does that man make sense

4. K&R!

How these nut cases get elected in the first place is beyond me. Or maybe the fact that they do should frighten us more than it does.
