  • I’d say that. Maybe we should evaluate ideas on their own merit rather than by who wrote them. For example if a heroin addict says heroin is bad and you should never use it, he isn’t wrong. So for the bible we might go “Don’t murder? Genius! Don’t wear polyester blends?…eh.”

  • I think there’s a bit of a difference between the presence of an old piece of an art by a student in a school and a brutal religious extremist Theocracy. I think I’m actually more annoyed by the marginalization of such a horrible organization than by an overzealous attack on what I see as a mostly harmless piece of cultural fluff… was there anyone I didn’t insult there?

  • I like to think of someone angrily making “Air Quotes” every time real quotes are used.

  • “Refusing to remove the image unless he receives orders from a judge or the school board.”

  • What? I think you’re exaggerating.

  • Various things from various comments

    Imminent lawless action test. Its the standard for determining speech like this example’s protection. To be prosecuted it requires: 1.Intent. Yeah. That’s here. 2. Imminence. Not so much. He says lets do this but does not indicate a time or place. 3. Likeliness. No. Someone who swears this much is hard to take seriously. Its not going to happen and we all know it.

    ‘Terrorists in league with Obama.’ Really? A man who can launch an enormous arsenal of nuclear arms at any point on the planet with no one else’s consent is going to bother with terrorists to destroy america? Consider: Maybe Fox, a private organization, is not censoring you because they want you quiet, but because they don’t want to look like they’re audience is nothing but psycho conspiracy theorists who make asinine suggestions at the drop of a hat. I’d be surprised if Obama knew anything about this other than in passing

    Tea Party is a legitimate and large movement but lacks centralized leadership. The new black panther party is tiny and politically irrelevant. There is a world of difference between a Tea Party leader saying “Kill all the blacks” and an NBPP leader doing the same.

  • If I live in such a world where my only choice for survival is not merely the death but also the suffering of others then I think I’ll pass on living. In the mean time I shall declare every man who disagrees with me on that subject a coward of the worst kind.

  • Snopes says you are quite wrong.

    For those too lazy to go to the link:
    “How does someone “born” in Hawaii get a Connecticut SSN (from a dead man) when he doesn’t live there?”

    He doesn’t. The Obama’s SSN has never been issued to anyone other than to Obama. That dead man stuff is a load of crap. As for why it is from Connecticut we can’t be sure. Since SSN is based on mailing address and not residence Its an aberration but does not indicate fraud. A likely explanation is that someone screwed up the address. The zip code for Obama’s home in honolulu was 96814. Danbury Connecticut has the zip code 06814. Someone may have mixed up these numbers when doing Obamas paper work.

    Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can adequately explained by stupidity.

  • How utterly useless you must be to think like that. God works through us. You say grace when you eat right? Good. Its good to give thanks, but God didn’t magic the food to your table did he? No you prepared it. We’ll how did it get to your house? God’s delivery service? No. You bought it. How did it get to the store? Some guy drove it there in a truck, not God. A farmer planted and tended and harvested the crop, and maybe a company put it in a can. God is not your nanny anymore than the government is. You want to make the world better? Do it yourself. You want to stop the world from getting worse. Do it yourself. If you expect God to do everything you’re no better than those who want massive Government.

    In reply to bioengineer.

    Income taxes existed before the 16th amendment. They in fact existed in a very similar way as today’s. However someone threw a fit over his taxes and convinced the courts that income tax was a direct tax. Income taxes were still legal but they had to be apportioned to different states based on population. To this most people said “That’s dumb.” So the sixteenth amendment was made. But even if i just looked up some stuff on wikipedia and have only the vaguest idea of what I’m talking about, a federal sales taxes would definitely pass constitutional muster.
