If you haven't heard yet, a watchdog group which monitors the separation of church and state is up in arms about the alleged dominance of evangelical Christians at the US Air Force Academy.
Dusty -resident of Castle Argghhh! and an Academy graduate- has some pungent comments on the "controversy."
Greyhawk posts a letter from Buzz Patterson, former Cadet Group Commander at the Academy, who finds the charges contemptible.
Finally, naval aviator CDR Salamandar weighs in here and here.
Look, I'm agnostic myself, and even I find this foolishness offensive! Worse yet, it's not even very persuasive foolishness. As has been pointed out elsewhere, there are 4,000 cadets at the Academy, and the watchdog group interviewed a whopping fifteen cadets and staff, all told.
This is just one more spatter in the mudslinging about "Jesusland." Feh.

The issue isn't that they only interviewed fifteen cadets, it's that, whether or not the majority of US Air Force Academy personnel are evangelical Christians, it has nothing to do with the separation of church and state. How do these people trick themselves into believing this shit?
