Bigotry of any kind should be confronted. It is always irrational and unjustified. Madmen who kill at a synagogue deserve our most stinging disapprobation. The tragic death of James Byrd was worthy of national condemnation. But just as we should be eternally vigilant against racial bigotry, we must also protect the rights of people of faith.
People of faith are decent, loving and patriotic.
They work hard to provide for their families and are tireless advocates for improving our communities across the nation. Let's join together and condemn those who would deny freedom and opportunity for every American.
