Juan Cole "puts paid" to village idiot Virgil Goode

And he does so with the words of true Americans who, having been instrumental in the founding of this country, can speak to the basis of America in a way that a bigoted asshole like Virgil will never understand.
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781-82
