And fyi: Jesus didn’t say it was impossible for the rich to enter heaven. Read the quote again. He said it was “hard.”
Is anyone who stands under religion a Fundamentalist? Again, a trick of the atheist, anarchist, far-left who currently vote Democrat. Yet they tell eveyone else not to group Al-Queda and the like with good God-fearing Muslims(profiling.) Yet the terrorists are the Fundamentalists. Again, what double-speak! I hear this non-sense from the Right as well. Do they think we’re all stupid lemmings who can’t look things up?

Then there’s the uninformed people who cry, “Keep it out of our schools.” How would they have fared more than 100 years ago when all the schools were actually church buildings that were also government buildings? Would they have minded that the Christian Bible was a part of the daily school life? I think it’s more like “put it back in” instead of “lets force in something new.”
And who do you think they mean when they say, “In God We Trust?” It ain’t Allah! Benjamin Franklin found some problems in Philly after a long time in Europe. He thought the Colonists should be more tolerant of other religions. He said nowhere that the Christian way of life and it’s icons should be eliminated just to keep from stepping on the toes of other people. He knew where the majority was. How many cry-babies speaking in the press (left and right) do?

To put this in perspective someone should post a transcript of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s Q&A in 93. This woman is truly evil, the equivalent of a drunken KKK Grand Dragon of the Filthy Left and she still got a pass. I still haven’t figured out what the Conservatives got in return.

“How do the judges get away with such outrageous decisions? By asserting that Supreme Court decisions are the supreme law of the land. But you know that is not true. That is a terrible heresy.”

Hmmm. What does that say about the Supremes’ 2000 decision in favor of Bush? And all the legislation, executive orders, etc., the Illegitimate One signed off on in his first term?

It’s amazing how regularly the hypocritical rhetoric of Schafly and her ilk comes back to bite them on the butt.

Thats a fine cause for sure, but its the “unstablizing” Bushie did thats a crime.

This is how the religious right operates. A discussion begins that calls them to the carpet for subverting BOTH church and state. It is really an indefensable position, so instead of debating the real point the debate is shifted to such finge arguements as taxation and freedom of religion.

The far-right wingers of the Republican party are masters at this. This is why Bush is still President, why Karl Rove still has a job and why the Patriot Act is still in force. The Swift Boat people worked it to a tee. Those that sold the Iraq war did so by shifting the discussion to 9/11, thus forgoing any requirement for proof that Iraq had a hand in our national tragedy.

Alexa and Tony are probably very fine people, good Americans and exactly who the Texas Gang is looking for to pick up the torch and shift the discussion.

I have watched all this before, when the Southern Baptist Convention was taken over and first became the tool of the ultra-right wing extremists.

F on F, SD Policy Council, FRC, CWA, and several other organizations of their ilk are simply collections of people motivated by greed and arrogance. Religion is simply in front. That’s one of the most common and effective misuses of religion throughout history. They are no different from Richard Mellon Scaife’s henchmen, they just make themselves look better. Religion is a powerful tool, and telling people that they are not real Christians, and will not save their eternal souls unless the follow a certain group or individual, is a marvelously strong motivational tool.

If you don’t like it leave the country.
