I don't know if it's ideological that Obama supporters continue to say we've run out of ideas and there's nothing else to try. Probably Cramer got in hot water and the rest fall in line like good lemmings except Santelli. There's plenty of things to try, starting with undoing what's been done to arrive where we're at. Or get the hell out of the way and let someone else try!

Fort Bragg Will Host Atheist Concert MILITARY AGREES TO GIVE IT SAME SUPPORT IT GAVE TO CHRISTIAN EVENT By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Aug 9, 2011 12:25 PM CDT (NEWSER) – Last fall a Christian-themed concert was held at Fort Bragg; next spring, an atheism-themed one will be staged there—and the Army will provide equal support. Rock Beyond Belief, an event organized by atheist, agnostic, and non-theist soldiers, was originally planned for this year, but organizers complained that leaders at Fort Bragg were not offering the same support they gave to last fall's Rock the Fort. Leaders have since promised to provide the venue, security, and basic utilities: "Our logistical support will be the same as what we did for Rock the Fort," says a spokesperson. "This just might be the turning point in our struggle for acceptance," says Sgt. Justin Griffith, main organizer and military director of American Atheists. He got the idea for the concert when he heard about opposition to Rock the Fort from groups that champion the separation of church and state; in response, military leaders said the same considerations would be given to any private event. Griffith "decided to take them up on that," the AP notes. Even so, his victory shouldn't be seen as "a victory for atheism or agnosticism over any type of religion," says the president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. "It's a victory for the Constitution."
