I might have more to say about the Delaware mini-pogrom later, but by way of Bartholomew's Notes on Religion, I found this bit of abject idiocy:

Oh come now, you must know that the evil power of the Liberal Athiest "majority" who is set on persecution of the faithful will always be more powerful then their parenting skills.
