Pat Tillman is 'Worm Dirt"

If you haven't been watching the news over the last few days, you may not have heard about the quote from the title of this posting. It was made by Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich in an interview with ESPN. Pat Tillman's family are in Washington to testify about the lies and cover-up initiated by the military to hide the face that he was killed by friendly fire.

It should be no surprise that the U.S. military is dominated by Christians. The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs has been dealing with right-wing Christian zealots in the administration for years. Clearly, the Scumbag Ralph Kauzlarich, is a Christian. In my opinion, his attitudes and statement are very typical of Christians in a position of control or power. Actually, they are typical of most Christians I have met.

The good news in this case is that the Democratic congress and the media are taking his comments very seriously. We atheists are apparently making strides when it comes to reacting to the 'atheist bashing' which has always been so acceptable in our society. The news media and non-conservatives in congress also seem equally concerned. Why the change? I think that the Internet and the growing number of atheists who no longer are in the closet or afraid to speak out is making it very difficult for media outlets, congressmen and scumbags like Ralph Kauzlaurich to get away with atheist bashing today.

Perhaps we are making some progress after all.
