So we're all excited about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's recent rant about sharia law: To wit, that right-wing criticism of a highly qualified Muslim-American he nominated to the state bench is, in his elegant phrasing, "crap."
We cats agree. Wigging out about a creeping influence of sharia ranks on the same level with us as the contents of a dirty litter box. We fervently hope that it will be scooped up and flushed away. But we don't see the Republican Party doing that any time soon.
Which brings us to our frustration with the Christie comments. Sure, he said he was "tired of dealing with the crazies." But why didn't he elaborate as to just who those "crazies" are?
Why didn't he call out his party's Presidential candidates who have bleated furiously about sharia law and the alleged Islamization of America? As a Governor, why didn't he criticize the whacko state legislatures that have rushed to enact legislation against the non-existent sharia threat? Until you do that, Chris, your credibility does not exactly, um, loom large with us.
On the up side, the religious bigots over at Free Republic are pretty upset with you. Another Freeper hero tarnished by his lack of ideological purity! We cats PURR.
