Well put! And as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing wrong with that!
In the scramble to make the GOP more diverse, a lot of people are looking at Asian Americans, whom many believe are a natural constituency for the party. I would love it if Asian Americans converted en masse to the Republican Party, but the challenge for Republicans is harder than many appreciate.
President Obama did spectacularly well with Asian Americans, garnering nearly three-quarters of their vote. This runs counter to a lot of conventional wisdom on both the left and the right. On average, Asian American family income is higher and poverty is lower than it is for non-Latino whites....
It's the need--the unexplained, odd need--to pray out loud, in public, with others having to join in or wait for you, that's so depressing...
No one is forcing Mr. Goldberg to pray, he does not have to do didley if he does not want to. No one even forces anyone to pray in schools or even say the pledge of allegiance and if that's how it feels to him, the people who are praying are not at fault.
I'm soooo tired of people who claim that they either don't believe in God or believe in something else say, "because they feel pressured" others have no right to pray in public or in a government building or setting. Yet they feel they have the right to take away everyone elses rights to pray.
I agree with that all the way up to the point where you say "...make non-believers pray along with us".
That is not true.
