O is one of the true Christians, along with Sister Samone, Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Barber, et al. There's no comparison between them and pseudo-Christians like Santorum or Huckabee, so it gets on my nerves whenever some non-believers decry all people of faith as ignorant and all of religion as "evil" or "nonsense". One side prioritizes the needs of the common man and treasures critical thinking, and the other prioritizes the wealthy and the military respectively and has railed against higher education (snobs, anyone?).
