As long as a religion rests upon those sentiments which are the consolation of all affliction, it may attract the affections of mankind. But if it be mixed up with the bitter passions of the world, it may be constrained to defend allies whom its interests, and not the principle of love, have given to it. - Alexis De Tocqueville

Did senators also heckle the Hindu clergyman?

Granted, this comes from the NY Post's Page Six, but if true, these "unidentified lawmakers" should be identified.

We Hear . . .

THAT a couple of U.S. senators were rude and unruly last week when Majority Leader Harry Reid had a Hindu chaplain for the first time say the opening prayer. The unidentified lawmakers heckled the saffron-robed clergyman as he prayed to the "transcendental glory of the deity supreme" . . .
Of course, this could just be another NY Post Jackie Harvey moment, misidentifying the actual known hecklers for senators.  It's a bit disappointing that this story went so underreported.
