Today we talk about a lot of things, starting with the mess in our old home state of Illinois. We also have an extensive discussion about religion and politics, same-sex marriage, and we even talk about the divisive online rhetoric of the left and\u2014especially\u2014the right. I say that far right christianists are not&#8221;victims&#8221;, and it&#8217;s offensive for them to say they are. Jason is annoyed by far-right christianists falsely claiming to speak for all &#8220;people of faith&#8221;. Later, we talk about the bailouts and the twilight of the Bush years. Are Bush-Cheney guilty of treason? We end by talking about the optimism of the impending inauguration. Comments let us discuss a few more things, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link for this episode:<\/strong><br \/>\nBe sure to visit <a title=\"Jason's View from DC\"
