BE,
Maybe I have a bit of a preaching streak in me.

Happy,
Thanks. Somehow I don't think I'm clear enough for those folks.

Great post! You should send this to the president; to all of our senators and congresspeople - perfect!

The choir is ready to sing "Amen" to this post!!!

HE,
Apparently loyalty oaths were required to work in the Bush Administration as well.
Remember former White House political director Sara Taylor's testimony at the Senate Judiciary Committee?

Leahy: And then you said, I took an oath to the President, and I take that oath very seriously. Did you mean, perhaps, you took an oath to the Constitution?

Taylor: Uh, I, uh, yes, you're correct, I took an oath to the Constitution. Uh, but, what--

Leahy: Did you take a second oath to the President?

Taylor: I did not. I--

Leahy: So the answer was incorrect.

Taylor: The answer was incorrect. What I should have said is that, I took an oath, I took that oath seriously. And I believe that taking that oath means that I need to respect, and do respect, my service to the President.

Authoritarians do believe in swearing loyalty to their leader.

Jim,
As much as I believe the world would be better if everyone followed Jesus’ teachings, and as much as I try to do so personally, I avoid labeling myself a "Christian" because I will not be counted as any part of the Bible thumping bigots' hateful little world. My inner Buddha recoils from American fundamentalism.

Suzan,
And here I thought this was some hysteria-fueled rant.

Thank you, Dave.

For providing a sane, intelligent voice amidst the insane times in this increasingly dangerous country that used to be proudly designated USA.

So let’s get this straight. The 19th richest man and his fellow Republicans are in no way promoting anything resembling elitist interests.

Right. And Hitler’s Brown Shirts were promoting democracy by doing the exact same thing. The Brown Shirts were charged with disrupting political opponents’ meetings.

I agree Dave! I have to laugh Except for brother myself and some other notables I find many atheists to be better Christian's than most of these so called born again Christians.

I agree 100% Brother, be careful what you ask for you may get it!

You said: Liberals protesters herded into zones. Lets not forget when Bush/Cheney had meetings, the audience had to sign a loyalty oath to get in, and if anyone spoke out, they were gone in a heartbeat.

Jim, Who, me? Problem with misinformed Christians?...

2009-08-09T13:47:22.814-04:00

Jim,
Who, me? Problem with misinformed Christians? How can you tell?;-)

I could have said misinformed Amercians but I think atheists, Jews, non-fundamentalists and agnositcs are either generally better informed or less manipulated by corporate America.

There is a herd mentality in misinformed Christians as well.

I am not attacking Christians in general. Informed Christians would agree with me.

2009-08-09T03:46:13.938-04:00

Dave--
Gitmo????? Those b*stards wouldn't waste the fuel it took to get Him there. If Jesus showed up in America tomorrow, He'd think His torture and execution on Calvary was a 'walk in the park'. :(

2009-08-08T17:07:45.259-04:00

Jim--
The Republicans may very well succeed in getting their '2nd revolution'. However, the end results may not be what they are expecting. My advice to them comes from my Grandpappy: Be careful what you wish for.

2009-08-08T15:12:48.763-04:00

Damn Dave, you by any chance have a problem with misinformed Christians? Lets start with that Bible she was waving being full of lies.
I saved some stories about Scott and his shit now I won't write about it. That Bastard paid the biggest fine ever of 1.7 Billion for defrauding the Government and cornering the Hospital market.
I friggen hate this crap. This will not stop until Republicans succeed in instigating the 2nd Revolution they have calle3d for and will blame on Obama. This will not be good!

Holte,
I wonder how those infantle whiners would react if they were treated like liberal protestors and caged into "free speech zones".

Tom,
Like schizophrenics who hear voices in their heads, misinformed Christians believe they hear the voice of God or other divine spokesman on their radio and TV. Theirs is just as much a split from reality, except it is based on ignorance, fear and anger rather than organic biochemical imbalance.

Tim,
Too many self-proclaimed "Christians" would be all too eager to toss Jesus into Gitmo if He dared preach his hippie peace and love sermons in America. The only "love" in these jerks is for their own self-righteousness.

2009-08-08T04:42:58.546-04:00

Dave--
These people are not misinformed Christians. They may well be misinformed, but they are definitely not Christian. Even a cursory reading of the New Testament would show them the errors of their ways.

They may find it cool to self-identify as Christian, but God has a very hot place prepared for them.

2009-08-07T12:28:50.065-04:00

Misinformed Christians are by far the greatest resource for greedy corporations. Nothing else even comes close. Employees, raw materials -- doesn't matter.

Millions of dimwits who will go out and shout and threaten when ordered to do so by their masters -- it's a wetdream for crooked CEOs.

2009-08-07T07:54:17.880-04:00

Dave - It appears we are descending into madness, those people who are posing as Christians, I say posing, because there is nothing Christian about them, are ignorant and intimidating and it is just a matter of time before somebody snaps.

They are putting pressure on people to listen to them, they all have friends or know someone in Canada, who have to wait 6 months to see a doctor.

What politician would be willing to claim these people as "his/her followers". They are enjoying the spotlight and they are getting plenty of it and that light attracts politicians.
