Huffington Post - Republican presidential candidate John Kasich says he'd set up an agency with a "mandate" to promote what he calls "Judeo-Christian values" overseas to counter Islamist propaganda.
The Ohio governor says he would create the new agency to promote the values of human rights, democracy and the freedoms of speech, religion and association. Kasich says the information would be distributed in the Middle East, China, Iran and Russia, to compete with the propaganda and misinformation purveyed by Islamic militants.
The agency's "job would be fundamentally to revive what we used to do when we beamed messages into the former Soviet Union," he told NBC News in a subsequent interview. "We need to beam messages around the world about what it means to have a Western ethic, to be part of a Judeo-Christian society. It means freedom, it means opportunity, it means respect for women, it means freedom to gather, it means so many things."

I used to occasionally attend a Quaker meeting that had a group that called itself the Jewish-Quaker-Buddhists. Now that's a tradition for all occasions. If we're headed down the lunatic road of theocratic states, I'd like to reserve Rhode Island as the homeland for the Jewish-Quaker-Buddhists. Unitarians and Esperanto speakers would be welcomed as well.
Religion is the biggest force for evil on this planet. It seems every major religion wants to kill the infidels. And everyone is an infidel to someone.
