“Yes, because athiests just can't get enough Bibles....”

“Are you still having sex with goats? No? Prove it.”

“Hey, don't blame Jesus.”

“But we could be BFF with Somalia and Uganda, and any other ignorant, uneducated, theocratic, backwater dictatorship - so we'd have that going for us.

Remember, to the Right, American Exceptionalism no longer means leading the world with quality, intelligence, competence and ideals. To the Right, American Exceptionalism now means showing disdain for any country which has achieved a better standard of living for it's citizens and perpetually picking on weaker countries - all while claiming religious superiority.

These are the people who thought George W. Bush was a great leader - why are we surprised by their continuing bigoted willful ignorance?”

“nice.”

“Blind optimism is greatly underrated”

“Well, you got yourself what we call a quandry: your Dream Roosevelt can't be one of today's Republicans and be the Roosevelt you want because of ideology, and can't be a Democrat and be allowed to lead, or even be treated like an American citizen, by Republicans who openly state that nothing is as important as tearing down the Democrat who beat them.

If Jesus came back to earth and ran for office as a Democrat, Republicans would try to amend the constitution to allow cruxifictions.”

“And the USS Forrestal.
I've always said the man is a Jonah. Anything he gets around becomes a disaster - Vietnam, the Forrestal, his wife - hell, when Bush's presidency officially tanked because of Katrina, where was Bush? At McCain's birthday party - eating cake while people died in New Orleans, both of them utterly oblivious.”

“She also socialized the Alaska oil industry, sending every citizen of Alaska a check for their share of private industries' oil profits.”

“Franken really admired Paul Wellstone - I think he wants to emulate him”

“Writus Maximus: "I'm so clever, I post my funnies twice."”

“Built your computer yourself, didn't you?”

“You're so impressed with yourself that you fanned yourself, didn't you?”

“Would someone please explain why Nelson can tell millions of us what we can and cannot do with our own bodies?”

“Yes, that's it; she was making a principled stand. Which is exactly why she adamantly denied making any such stand and professed her undying admiration for McCain while claiming she was trying to stay incognito - it was all about her principles.

How many copies of her book have you bought?”

“Which of the Trump children grew up stalked by papparazzi? None - so you don't know what they wore or how badly or well they behaved because every detail of their childhood, including their very existence or their parent's religion, wasn't endlessly promoted as entertainment for the masses. And, unless you know them personally, you don't have a clue what they're really like - just what is prepackaged and presented to you by the corporate owned media.

My kids had a trunk full of dress-up clothes, including heels, which they played with endlessly. It's great for the imagination.

Would people like you be satisfied if Suri were dressed like some mindless little advertisement for baby clothes designers; all acceptable corporate-wear, so she looked like every other little rich baby?”

“I wonder how many of us would be uncomfortable seeing our adolescent selves in the midst of the worst part of our lives? That can't be comfortable under any circumstances.”

“I think it's pointlessness was the point - a la Catch 22 - with the military, there is often no point to why they do what they do.”

“ok, so you and all your 14 yr old friends prefer Transformers? So what?
I saw Blind Side in a full theater - and if anyone there did not like the movie, you couldn't tell from the overhwelmingly positive reaction of the audience. When it was over, nobody left until the credits were done. When we walked out, people were lined up waiting to get in for the next showing, and I could hear other people who were leaving talking about how good it was to the people in line.
I would see it again.
I'm not in a church group either - your attempt to stereotype is off.”

“Malkin? She won't care, she thinks the Japanese should have been stripped of all rights and property and sent to internment camps during WWII.”

“His stance is horizontal, and snoring.”

“I want all second, third or fourth, etc. marriages retroactively absolved. Only first marriages are santioned in the Bible, no divorce is ever allowed - anyone married more than once is living in sin.

Right thinking people ahould not allow this - it will tear apart our marriages.”

“Are you being held hostage? Why else would anyone stay there?”

“And, if it's a second, third, fourth or fifth marriage - then they can just announce that they are wilfully living in sin - since one marriage is all that the Bible allows. No problem with that, right?”

“"as long as it can still be referred to as sin,most religious people-not just christians either-will continue to justify this discrimination."

You mean the same way they discriminate against sins like adultery, divorce, child abuse, pedophilia? Please, get real, this is about one group trying to control another group - gay is just the excuse they are using. Otherwise, wouldn't they be purging their own groups first? Wouldn't these so-called Christians get the mote out of their own eyes before condemning any one else's sin?

But they won't, of course. No matter how egregious the sin, they always forgive themselves to the exact degree that they condemn others - otherwise, the Catholic Church would have been condemned into oblivion for the incredible sins they have committed - instead, they are being allowed to dictate to Congress what women can do eith their own bodies, and whether gays should have the same rights as straights.

This isn't about righteouness - it's about hypocrisy and control.”
