Religeous teapublican doublespeak;
"Not all people worship the protesters' gods, or any gods at all. As long as this state is part of the USA, there is separation of church and state, and they can't use their religion as an excuse to force things on other people. I agree, I'm not being very respectful of an ancient religion, but only because it is being used as an excuse in this context to control others, which I as an American find extremely offensive."
Helllloooooo people! Where do you get the idea that the protectors are forcing their religion on you? Are they trying to get you to go to the summit and worship a Hawaiian deity? I don't think so.
What, on the other hand, if they told you that you couldn't worship YOUR God in YOUR Sacred place? Because that's exactly what you are telling them. You are trying to smash their temple, while accusing them of persecuting you.
That's what I mean about the doublespeak, and it's refinement by the Republican TeaBags.
