President Barack Obama repeated the oft disproved claim that Catholic education increases division in front of an audience of 2000 young people, including many Catholics, at Belfast’s Waterfront hall when he arrived in the country this morning. “If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can’t see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden—that too encourages division and discourages cooperation,” the US president said." Sez the guy who SAT IN GODDAM JEREMIAH WRIGHT’S CHURCH FOR 20. YEARS!!!!! I wouldn’t blame ‘em if they threw this trumped-up jackass out’a their country. Wish we could. Not only is this wildly inappropriate, it’s friggin’ wrong ! Religious strife isn’t the result of its free exercise, but of its repression. Peace comes from freedom, not from artificial ethnic homogeneity (see: various forms of authoritarianism). Okay, mebbe I’m bein’ hasty. Perhaps he’ll advocate the elimination of Muslim schools from a podium in a Muslim country.
