I think you are wrong about that...

Rush said some bloggers are really, really angry that Romney didn't mention atheists and agnostics.

It was inclusive, and didn't exclude anyone or their beliefs.

I just wish he had mentioned Hindu and Buddhist as well. Those are right up there at the top IMO.

It would have been really nice if he had said he admired the asceticism of the sadhus and did not have a problem with the religious rituals e.g. , the chillum , BOM SHANKAR, bombulay nath.

Mentioning Sai Baba would have been cool too, as he had some success in trying to combine the Muslim and Hindu religions.



I have a really cool comic book about his life, I got many years ago.

He even has something in common with LB <g>:

<<<Sai Baba's entertainment was dancing

en.wikipedia.org

Sai Baba also opposed all sorts of persecutions on religious or caste background.

Sai Baba taught a moral code of love, forgiveness, helping others, charity, contentment, inner peace, devotion to God and guru.

I agree. It was an excellent speech.
