  • The fact of the matter is that there are endless Thomas Jefferson quotations that can be used to make an argument either way on his feelings on religion. For example:
    “Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies.”
    - Thomas Jefferson

    “The Christian God is a being of terrific character — cruel, vindictive, apricious, and unjust.”
    – Thomas Jefferson

  • Most of the time I see postings on here about too much government. Then I see a somewhat hypocritical position taken here where there needs to be more government control. Call me confused if you like….

  • @east…I bet you’re a lot of fun at parties…

  • @Pray: In terms of American exceptionalism, the United States is probably the only place in the world where the poor people are FAT…!

  • Good job Blaze!!! You posted a picture that’s more than a year old of people burning US flag. I suppose you did this to get the rabid rectal pores that are always posting a lot of hateful nonsense on here to start posting the hate yet again. I can’t wait to come back in a few hours to see if the RWW (Right-Wing Wackos) are living up to expectations.

  • Judging by recent election results and American apathy with the whole Benghazi fiasco, I’d have to say you’re on the losing side…sorry.

  • @DMerwin: Tell it to someone who cares. If there had been substantial hearings into all of the consulate/embassy attacks/bombins while GWB was President, I might be a wee bit more worked up over Benghazi. As it is, I really don’t give a damn. As for hearings, Jon Stewart hit the nail on the head…there have been “explosive” hearings (according to the pundits on Fox) three times now and this set isn’t any more interesting than the previous two, let alone more relevant.

  • Trust me…in no way, shape, or form would I trust very many people who post on this site. I guess I would put you in that non-trustworty status, based solely on your sill monicker. Obviously you’re not smart enough to realize that for most of the past 100 years the media has supported the folks in power. At the turn of the 20th Century, it was the Republican W.R. Hearst that managed to provoke the country into a war with Spain over the explosion on the USS Maine in Havana. It’s not etched in stone but it was most likely a bunker explosions from coal dust. But no matter. No big changes until Tricky Dick blasted the press when he lost the governor race in California in 1962. When he won in 1968, there was already an adversarial relationship in place. George W would have had a great relationship with the press but he lied about WMDs in Iraq and thousands of Americans died. The press still backs Obama and it’s not likely to change over a mere four deaths, as truly sad and dispicible as then events in Benghazi were. The House can impeach him but with the current makeup of the Senate, there’s absolutely no chance at conviction.

  • NONSENSE!!! Cops may be pigs, but they certainly aren’t above the law. Take a look at what happened to the idiot cops (behaving “stupidly) at UC Davis in November 2011, when they sprayed peaceful protestors with pepper spray. It’s worth noting that the officers, their chief and many others connected with this incident are no longer working for the University of California. This kid did exatly the right thing and the pig was in the wrong. Hopefully the video gets some media attention before being sent to the Chief of Police.
