Orrin Hatch Backs Mosque

It might seem odd that a neanderthal con like Orrin Hatch would buck the trend and announce his support for the New York mosque. But then Hatchy's a Mormon. And probably knows what it's like to be on the wrong end of religious intolerance.

Is this more proof that the only thing separating decent people from conservatives is empathy? Even if empathy doesn't occur naturally in the individual but evolves out of adverse personal experience, this might also prove that anyone can behave decently if Orrin Hatch can. Maybe there is hope?
