So, the only 20% of Americans left who support him are basing their decisions solely on faith. Lovely.

Glen Beck is such a smug, arrogant, prick.

"America is a federal republic - not a democracy. Our elected leaders serve the Constitution and not the people.

Not that I'm defending this psycho woman. I just cringe every time I see someone insinuate that America is a democracy."

@Fighting Falcon: After on reflecting on that, you are right. Thank you for the clarification. I have a test tomorrow for my Ancient Philosophy class over the Republic, so I've kind of been in that mindset, haha.

Of course, these are HER beliefs. Don't put the citizens of your state ahead of YOUR agenda. Seriously, at what point did politicians stop serving citizens and only push their own ideas?!?

It is just appalling.

So . . . how many Gamerpoints will I get?

I'm sorry (actually, I'm not) but this is total bulls**t. Stop being so PC and grow a pair. This pandering is just pathetic.

9. Lewis Black - The Devil's Handiwork

"Red, White, and Screwed" is a great special by Lewis Black regardless. This particular bit I hold dear though, haha.

Comment #108843 by Hooligan on January 7, 2008 at 5:57 pm

I've never really written to anybody from Congress . . . can anyone give me some pointers on how to write and not come off as too cynical and actually make coherent sense?

Quotes of Note:

"Secularists are often wrongly accused of trying to purge religious ideals from public discourse. We simply want to deny them public sponsorship."

Wendy Kaminer

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so."

Sir Arthur C. Clarke

"The fight both for and against slavery in the United States was waged first along scriptural lines. . . . There was also the theory of the descent from Ham which attained great vogue and still does in certain quarters. . . . With the superseding of religion by science the battle of inequality shifted from a scriptural wording to a scientific one. Now it was no longer what "God had said" but what color, hair, and skull showed. . . . In other words, the pro-slavery faction and the antislavery one had entered the stage in new costumes. Underneath were the same bodies."

Joel Augustus Rogers

"To enslave a man, then dope him to make him content! Do you call THAT a solace? . . . The honest fact is that the greatest hindrance to the progress of the Negro is that same dope that was shot into him during slavery. . . . The slogan of the Negro devotee is: Take the world but give me Jesus, and the white man strikes an eager bargain with him. . . . Another fact — there are far too many Negro preachers. Religion is the most fruitful medium for exploiting this already exploited group. As I said, the majority of the sharpers, who among the whites would go into other fields, go, in this case, to the ministry."

Joel Augustus Rogers

"Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense."

Voltaire
