Evidential evidence, Jan 2011:

The revolution has begun in the minds of some in the USA. These thinkers will be squashed and embarrassed as common dumbasses by the elite. There will be other revolutions that will be squashed, and others still. Every now and then a spark will set off historical change and the next big one will be an Earth unifying epoch brought on by space exploration and climate change, replete with baby-killing war. Who wants ice cream?

Is there an ancient clan behavioral connection to the current ideological split we see in every country, especially around elections, and one that transcends the globe: the liberal verses the conservative fight? Is the mentality guiding these two heavy movements a hangover of clan mentality?

I will study clan mentality starting in late Ur history up to the present.

I will compare historical study with personal observations (past v. present) and analyze these into a working hypothesis: FUCK ALL YOU ALL

Rules of democracy.

2010-10-19T06:09:00.000-07:00

You are allowed to introduce anything you want into the public arena. Once you do, however, the others in that public arena are allowed to comment on your submission. If you are offering rationale for a change in public policy, democracy dictates that other citizens may question that rationale. If you site "The Word of God" as a rationale for changing public policy, others get to question that rationale, and you don't get to cry foul, just because you believe. I personally wont come to your church to question your beliefs; please don't you come to my reason to humiliate yourself.

The United States:

It’s not a melting pot it’s a meeting place.

Lets reexamine the idea of assimilation.

We must be allowed to be crazy retarded with those of us who want to be our own brand of retarded, but we must meet in a central place, face to face, and without violence.

Too many want to be lazy and go from a chopping knife to a high-speed blender. The knife of democracy blends gently and slowly, but is nonetheless painful.

To cummunism or to not cummunism. That is the question.

2010-07-08T04:02:00.000-07:00

So, given all the scars capitalism continues to leave on our jointly owned planet, remind me again why we don’t want to at least TRY communism one more time?

Possible answers:

1. It will spell the end of the competitive edge needed to motor the Homo sapiens sapiens species forward.

2. Pol Pot

I like this comment and will now comment on it:

I’m a world-ist by nature, but unlike some of my more dogmatic acquaintances, I think Marx is not the only blueprint for global harmony and justice and shit. I think he, Marx, will be frequently credited throughout human history, famously or infamously, by many cultures long into posterity. He will always be a Locke or an Aristotle but not the last word in this pantheon of thinkers.

I refuse to ever see any world crisis as the last because I refuse to think we’ve run out of ideas.

Of course, many theists maintain that a person need only find the path to their god and communal bliss will blanket the earth. Please remember, dogma spelled backwards is ‘am god.’ Think about it. Think about longer than that!

I wonder what 2110 C.E. will look like.

What the world needs now.

2010-05-11T04:39:00.000-07:00

Democracy needs to follow capitalism if it is to last.

Humanity can’t afford any nation to be overly chauvinistic and self-preserving anymore.

Capitalism lost it boundaries long ago; warring over nationalistic ideals is a fantasy. The people who benefit the most from war, the big owners of corporations, are the least patriotic. They have no trouble moving manufacturing and service outside the borders of Manifest Destiny if is serves their extra richness. A patriot puts the needs of his fellow citizens above his own.

Maybe we should take their lead and forget about borders too.

Environment demands it.

I apologise for causing discomfort in the true believer, but...

2009-11-03T03:47:00.000-08:00

... religion is a mental disorder. Some have accused liberals of being nothing but a function of mental disorders, and some say the same about conservatives. Which is it?

Today the USA made great history.

2009-01-21T04:09:00.000-08:00

Today the USA made great history, even though the white man was not much help to the black man right up to the end--crazy flubs in the middle of historical milestones--we just might join hand in hand after all.

Oh yeah, and hail Satan.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.

The power base is laying in ruin.

2007-08-08T04:37:00.000-07:00

The power base is laying in ruin.

Oh don't despair; the world will always hold a special place for the white straight male. However, the reason we don't say that's so gay anymore is for the same reason we don't say that's so nigger anymore. My brother and sister inspire in me the above notion, but come on you guys, "'Queer' is our name for you!" I am quoting from Homer Simpson in the episode when he confronts John Waters, a gay.

My heart is broken still. The girl I truly love is a fading memory, but the woman, who makes herself hot and available, with little theatrics and righteous moves, scares the hell out of me.

Do I marry her Mommy?

Deaf people get much of there communication through facial expressions. I think they, like speakers, get their communication mostly through the eyes. Look at their eyes, the person you talk to. What do you see and feel? There is power there. It’s not a power of one over the other, just pure magical power. Enjoy.

2007-07-10T04:46:00.000-07:00

Move away from the magic.

Let not our darkened states wreak havoc on our souls.

Don’t let anger erase memories.

Peal back the onion. It’s all about your love for her.

It will be a lot of fun.

2007-06-20T05:12:00.000-07:00

Lets go to the Rexall and steal a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

Your bummer life was a struggle, then it met its end.
Depravation and the bible were your only friends.
You pass the test and the hand of god reached down to you.
Begin to rise up to the beauty of the heaven in the blue.

It'll be a lot of fun, and it will be a lot fun, it will be a lot of fun, and it will be a lot of fun.

I am in love and I am horny. The object of my affection these days is fickle and daffy. Two perfectly good reasons to never give up on her.

I need a cigarette.

I just navigated through the new corporation to get to you all, and I'm a bit frazzled.

We teach our children to forgive us, which in turn teaches them about forgiveness and how to use it to their advantage.

That's nice .

I heard there is a new Jesus walking the earth. He says theft is a crime, not a sin. Sounds good to me.

He's Satan, isn't it?

Capitalism

2007-03-02T03:27:00.000-08:00

Bosses have power because when they fire you they take you out of the distribution and production system, possibly at your demise. Most find a way back into it one way or another, but it still constitutes power on the part of the boss. Unions, for better or worse, try to mitigate that dialectic.

Disturbing Things

2006-12-02T03:53:00.000-08:00

Within a week I was exposed to two very disturbing things.

On the radio I heard a story about a woman who killed her three-week-old child by cooking her in a microwave.

I saw a DVD of a woman shitting into another woman's mouth which then proceeded to eat said shit.

To make matters worse, I believe the other night I dreamt I was fucking a cat or possibly a large rodent.

All of the above is true.

and this:

Marvin,

I appreciate the expedience in which your father put in the new thermostat, but I am afraid to say it is malfunctioning. Please tell your father that the mercury switch doesn’t dip down enough when the temperature leaver is set to its coolest setting. The mercury bubble in the thermostat lies too horizontal to shut the floor heater down completely, so it runs continually. Not good. $$$$$$. I think it would be best if you folks installed a thermostat with an “on” and “off” switch as well as a temperature leaver. For now I have jerry rigged the thermostat to shut the floor heater off, so it is no emergency but pretty urgent that you replace this one.

Thanks,

Mathew

I get very scared when I hear someone say freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion. That sounds like they are telling me I must have religion under this constitution. Freedom of religion means you are free to believe or not, believe in what ever you want, practice what ever ritual you want (within all other laws), and the government shall remain agnostic—make no claim about God. Even the authors of this idea didn’t fully practice it, but it is the correct way to deal with peoples’ fairy tales.

I do not see how torture fits into the whole inalienable rights endowed by our creator line in the Declaration of Independence. I thought one of those gifts was the right to free speech. The right to free speech also means the right to be speechless—the Fifth Amendment.

Please enforce the laws of this land, but please first...

2006-07-07T04:28:00.000-07:00

... Be loyal to me, the individual citizen, even when I am rude, shit-starting, gun slinging, or simply pissed off with no agenda. When I am serially criminal but not violent, or even chronically antisocial with endless complaining and no plan, you cops should still hold back on me. The temptation to Billy club the annoying is deeply understood, my brothers, but it is wrong in a democracy. So why do I say restrict the cops? Law enforcement is going to be with human society for a long time, barring any neo-hippie revolution of group love flowers with p. chlorophyll springing up. Law enforcement, first, for safety, is a good idea. If I’m being mugged and a cop stops the mugging, murder, rip off I’m suffering an assault from a bad guy on the street or government excess, I call a cop. Law enforcement enforces a lot of bogus laws, at their discretion, which is actually a good thing in a democracy, ultimately, I think, because I trust humanity, and cops today aren't very different than the cops of any prior crisis we have faced of the economy and the cultural. We have encountered that Cops, like always, like most, love the power, and some are using vitamin-enriched altruisms to ease the pain when that power leads to abuses. We should find peace. Peace is better than war. When a cop saves an innocent life, at the price of shooting down a serious criminal killer, you would be retarded to think that that was wrong or bad. In a society, big strong people guard the gates--some are smart, some are dumb. If the smart ones abuse their power, they do so because they are bored. If the dumb ones do it, they do it because they are dumb.

Why?

2006-05-28T01:12:00.000-07:00

Why did he throw his kids over first? Why didn't he just take his own life? It is his prerogative to do so no matter how selfish we think that is. But he murdered his sons first. Why?

Did he do it out of anger or out of resolve?

This is so painful to imagine.

If you want to truly understand the media read J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, and then try to make an honest video of yourself where you redo nothing and are happy with the first take, so much so, that you gladly share it with the public right away. Or try to write some prose without editing any of it, except for spelling and grammar, and think it’s all it could be.

Think about it, Retard.

The Emperor is indeed naked.

2006-05-06T05:01:00.000-07:00

A cringe goes a long way further than a laugh in politics. Surviving one in front of Bush is like you cutting one up in front of the Roman mafia king and his humorless, and armed, friends, and living through it. You become a god then. Colbert is not a god, nor a gay god, but he is very good.

All you other flotsam in the sea of desertion from the elite are cool too.

What will it be like for those who are trying to figure out us?

Come on, god damn it, if you really read this blog leave me a message now and then. Here is an easy one. What do think humanity will be like, physically, politically, geographically, etc. in 1000 years? There are no wrong answers.

Yes, I'm one of those.

TV is the capitalist response to the dialectical results of the drive to consolidate under their system of production. TV prevents contemplation and discussion. Perfect.

Knowing the idiosyncrasies of a person after a long life of cohabitation is not the same as “knowing” them.

Here is a riddle:

2006-03-14T00:36:00.000-08:00

A farmer has three young men working for him as farm hands, and he knows they all want to fuck his very hot 19-year-old daughter. Rather than fighting nature he decides to hold a contest. He tells all three to line up so that the third is looking at the back of the second, the second is looking at the back of the first, and the first, facing in the same direction as the second and third, is looking at the scenery. The farmer tell the men that he will put a top hat on each of their heads. He has three black ones and two white ones, but he will place only one hat on each of their heads. Then he tell them that the man who figures out which color hat is on his own head without looking at his own hat or, in the case of the first and second man, turning around to see what the other(s) is/are wearing, will get to have their way with his very ready daughter. He ask the third man what color hat he thought he was wearing and the man answered that he did not know. He ask the second man and he too said he did not know. He asked the first man and he said he did know. So, what color hat was the first man wearing and how did he know?

There is no gay god.

2006-03-11T03:30:00.000-08:00

I’m sorry, but I just don’t care about the feelings of people upset that their god is being insulted. I guess I’m kind of a Stalinist in that I think religion is a drag on humanity. I think the anger we see reported about in this story is more about a fight for self-determination rather than indignation over a stupid cartoon and/or deity. True believers, confident in their crazy beliefs don’t get that upset about a parody.

I bet young people all over the world are more like the sophist of antiquity; they looked to rational thought over some ethereal Cartesian conception to explain their plight. Being poor sucks. We can look to “god” or we can look to science to explain it and end it.

Is God?

2006-03-09T02:38:00.000-08:00

Look. I don't believe in God. I never have and I never will. Why do I lose rights and ethos for that in this society? Should not you, the believer, prove yourself to me before I give you extra rights? It is all very backwards, I say. I am not going to cite text, which the UC has dutifully taught me to do, but I would hope a reader of this blog had at least a basic understanding of the scientific method. What are we to do about this assault on our good senses? Fight, speak out, cry, or will you all follow me in a mass suicide?

But when it comes to the presidential vote . . .

2006-03-04T02:43:00.000-08:00

You are still going to vote for a Democrat in '08. It doesn't matter that they just signed away your democratic rights with the renewal of the Patriot Act, you will still think they are better than the Republicans. Silly fucks.

Patriot Act passes Senate with privacy rules added

By Maura Reynolds

Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON - After months of hard-fought negotiations, the Senate voted overwhelmingly Thursday to renew expiring portions of the Patriot Act after adding new privacy protections to the law spawned after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

By a vote of 89-10, senators voted to make permanent 14 of the 16 provisions originally set to expire at the end of 2005. The two other provisions, which govern secret government records searches, were modified and extended four years.

Many supporters of the bill said it marked an improvement over the original Patriot Act, which was designed to make it easier to thwart new terrorist attacks by expanding the government's investigative powers and breaking down the traditional wall between domestic law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

``The terrorists have not lost the will or the ability to attack us,'' President Bush said from India, praising the Senate's action. ``The Patriot Act is vital to the war on terror and defending our citizens against a ruthless enemy.''

But even many senators who voted for the renewal said that while the bill they approved was better than the original, it still fell short of offering all the civil liberties protections they had sought.

``Our support for the Patriot Act does not mean a blank check for the president,'' said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. ``But the version of the Patriot Act we will soon reauthorize is a vast improvement over the law we passed hastily in 2001.''

The vote was a prized victory for the Bush administration, which won the anti-terror powers barely six weeks after the attacks on New York and the Pentagon -- only to see its credibility tarnished by recent revelations that it had bypassed laws, including the Patriot Act, to conduct electronic surveillance on people in the United States without obtaining court orders.

``In 2001, we were viciously attacked by terrorists who care nothing for American freedoms and American values,'' said Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., who led a two-month filibuster against the final version of the reauthorization bill. ``Without freedom, we are not America. If we don't preserve our liberties, we cannot win this war, no matter how many terrorists we capture or kill.''

Feingold's filibuster, which was supported by a handful of libertarian-minded Republicans, forced Congress to extend the original act twice while negotiations continued between the two branches of Congress and the White House.

Feingold's chief ally, Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., said the package was not enough to check what he described as a presidential tendency through history of ``always grabbing more power.''

Dear X – x,

Here is the letter. I also attached some gay marriage stuff at the bottom. It's some bits and pieces.

Thank you for being a cool brother.

Love,

Y-y.

P.S. Here is a Film you should watch . . .

Begin forwarded message:

From: Y-y,
Dear Mr. Mayhem:
I am writing to you concerning an on air skit that was played on Wednesday 02/08/06 Morning program around 8:00 am. The title was called "Bareback Mountain." I was deeply offended and disappointed by the blatant stereotyping of gay men and their relationships. They overly made the characters feminine and used really bad gay sexual clichés. The title also advocates unsafe sex, which is not a joke. I don't understand why your radio station feels the need to make gay people the "butt" of your jokes to get ratings. I don't hear your radio personalities making fun of any other minority groups? How come they don't make fun of Black, Latinos, Jewish, Muslim, Christians, or Women? Because you know that those groups would not put up with it.
This is not the first time I have contacted you about your programming. We had a conversation about 2 weeks ago over the phone discussing the same subject matter that pertain to overly stereotyped gay men. The skit was about 2 gay sport casters on your standard morning show. You indicated that it was not right that your personalities were signaling out one group and you would talk to them. Either you didn't speak to them, or of you did they didn't care. Since my request was ignore, I am going to contact your sponsors and see how they feel about your radio station views on your programming and urge them to stop advertising on all your stations. I am also going to stop listening to all your stations and tell others to do so.

You might want to check out these websites and realize that there is a growing GLBT community here in Twin Falls. My community should not and will not stand for homophobia anymore. It's 2006 and people need to realize that we are not a whipping post for hate, discrimination or comedy. You might want to also follow your competing radio stations 98.3 and 96.5 footsteps and support diversity by playing radio spots supporting gay rights. Thank you.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/FISCAL NOTE HJR 2

Quotes from news stories:

A similar proposal fell short of the required two-thirds majority last year. Sen. Tom Gannon, one of five lawmakers who changed their votes to help the measure pass 26-9, said he was responding to pressure from his constituents.

"I've been told by some that if I vote against this bill, I'll never see this place again," said Gannon, R-Buhl, as he stood outside the Senate chambers. "Sometimes you've got to go with what your constituents are telling you." HJR002, a proposed constitutional amendment

House approves bill to ban gay marriage

06:23 PM MST on Monday, February 6, 2006

KTVB.COM & Associated Press

BOISE – The Idaho House voted 53-17 today to approve a proposed constitutional amendment regarding gay marriage.

Representatives debated the issue for one-and-a-half hours, which says marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that is valid or recognized in Idaho.

It must receive two-thirds approval of the full House and Senate before the measure will go on the ballot next fall.

Supporters of the measure say it will protect traditional marriage. Opponents say it's unnecessary and discriminates against gay people.

The bill now goes to the Senate where its fate is more uncertain.

BOISE -- The Idaho House of Representatives voted Monday to approve a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage in Idaho.

"You cannot make people moral by legislation," the sponsor of the measure, Rep. Lawerence Denney, R-Midvale, told his colleagues on the House floor. "But all of our social laws are legislated morality. Laws against murder and rape, robbery and incest, are all social laws. These laws are boundaries that we as a society say must not be crossed.

"If we don't set boundaries, and let everyone do what is right in their own eyes, we lose our entire structure; we have chaos."

Denney's proposal provides that "a marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized" in Idaho. To be placed on the ballot in November, it must win approval from two-thirds of the House and the Senate. It won that easily Monday in the House on a 53-17 vote.

Opponents of the measure have argued it is not necessary because state law already defines marriage as being between a man and a woman.

"What is the problem we're trying to solve?" said Rep. Shirley Ringo, D-Moscow. "Some people are gay. These folks have every right to be happy. We don't need to make their lives more difficult."

Supporters say the amendment would prevent judges' overturning that law and would protect children and families.

"The notion that we would develop public policy that would recognize same-sex marriage, or worse yet establish it through an activist court, would ignore that growing body of evidence that shows how important it is to have a man and a woman involved in a child's life for proper development," said Rep. Bill Sali, R-Kuna.

This year marks the third go-round for same-sex marriage in the Idaho Legislature. A similar proposal passed a Senate committee last year but failed to win the two-thirds majority in the full Senate. The year before, the measure died in a Senate committee after it passed the House.

Gay-rights advocates and other opponents of Denney's measure expected it to win the necessary votes in the House. But representatives against the measure still asked their colleagues not to approve it.

"Many of you have come to me and apologized for your intent to vote yes on this amendment," said Rep. Nicole LeFavour, D-Boise and the Legislature's only openly gay member. "I would ask instead perhaps this day that you consider making that apology to those people in your districts who will be directly impacted by this amendment. You might not even know them . . . many gays and lesbians live invisibly out of the need to protect their jobs, their families, their homes."

Rep. Mike Mitchell, D-Lewiston, told his colleagues that before he set off for Boise in January, his constituents asked him to focus on property taxes, dealing with sexual predators and trying to solve the problem of methamphetamine use.

"Not one person asked me to come down here and support this proposal that's before us," Mitchell said. "Keep in mind why we were sent here; this wasn't the key issue."

The proposed amendment probably will be assigned to a Senate committee. If it passes that committee, it will go before the full Senate.

Private copywritten dialog we wanted to share with you.

Antiwar, anti THIS war, anti soldier

Debating the value of a military mission you pay for with your taxes, and/or life or life of your child/loved one is not the same as debating the need for soldiers, guns, and nukes, in general. Listen up retards, and try to pay attention. If you are a true pacifist, God bless you, you are a better person than I; the rest of us have to come to terms with are positions. If you are a citizen of a country, and by citizens I mean a tax paying, voting, member of society, that keeps a standing army ready to defend against all foes, you have an obligation to humanity to carefully define what is a foe. Deciding who is a foe is not the same as debating the pacifist position of having foes but fighting them without violence.

What is my point? Disagreeing with Bush's and Clinton's war on the Middle East is not the same as dissing the troops who are sent on these imperialist adventures. You could have a debate about what makes a soldier want to be a soldier, or if killing under any rationalization is acceptable, but lets be sophisticated enough to separate the issues. Can we handle that, retards.

So, when you say, “Supports the troops,” it doesn’t have to mean support the Hitler who sent them to invade Poland.

Fucking retards.

We cannot ever think that ending the state of Israel is the solution to ending war in the Middle East. I use to think that, not because I wanted a group of people who had just gone through genocide to be homeless and humiliated, but because I wanted the conquered to get revenge. People and land were conquered in Mesopotamia in 1948 and again in 1967, as is true of many other times in that faucet of humanity. I think my friend is right when he says that the best thing the Palestinian’s could do is to fight for annexation, and then equal rights and democracy within that new artificially made boarder. Let’s face it, our troubles are all same whether the line of skirmish is here or over there. We really need to make the idea of borders obsolete. “Borders, good god! What are they good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again! . .” Why wont that happen? Why do you think Puerto Rico is never talked about? That island is slavery in a new, or should I say old (4th century B.C. Greece), way. In many ways, the people of Puerto Rico enjoy a vast array of democratic rights and have power to earn and sell, but they have no chance at any power in the government who controls them, beyond tokenism. Wait, what did T.F.F. die for? Oh yeah, taxation without masturbation. The end of borders is not an idea to be put into any kind of action in politics. It is more a philosophy of life, and one that proclaims that these borders that bind us to tradition, when it comes to commerce, have already been breeched.

Be a virus in an established idea. It’ll keep that idea strong or kill it.

Merry Happy,

Mommy

Q: Though not on my list of people who deserve too much of my attention, good or bad, I think Carson Daly is the poorest excuse for entertainment I have ever seen. Is he not the stupidest person in the world or on the telly? He’s a dolt, I’d say! A Fucking dolt! This is how he makes his money. How does he do it?

A: The “duh”pulation loves him.

Hey Utah, some folks are gay. Please deal with it, retards.

2006-01-08T02:18:00.000-08:00

Being homosexual is as natural as being black, woman, bald, or hypeactive. Deal with it, retards.

Pray for death.

In this section, everyone gets to enter a name of a person who they would like God to take away. Please just submit your comments accordingly. We do not want any human to kill or harm, in any way, physically or otherwise, another human. We want God to smite these people a supernatural blow. Be it in their sleep, an accident with lightning, a freak bear attack, a fallen tree limb, or whatever, the main thing is we want their natural death, and we want it to be an act of God. I am not the first to propose this idea. I take my leadership on this issue, and issues of pornography and free speech, from Larry Flint. He may not have been the first to ask theist to pray to their gods for the natural death of another human, but he’s the one I remember. Hmmm, I wonder why him.

Anyway, my choice for God’s natural killing (and I repeat, I do not want any other human to kill, or plot a killing, or have anything to do with another’s death, or harm to him/her or his/hers family, or anyone in anyway) is Dr. James Dobson from Focus of the Family. He’s the antithesis of Michael Newdow. Let god take him to the Kingdom of Glory prematurely.

,and he went on down the hall . . ."

Creativity needs no outside motivator; it’s riding the eternal inertia along with all this other shit.
Money makes the world slow down; it funnels out the stupid.

True.

Gravity is what is going to kill us.

Merry Jesus loving chicken.

Sorry, Jesus Fucking A Chicken followers, but I have my standards. I will not title a post that talks poorly about a very important food, chicken.

Nor will I speak badly about the pig, lamb, fish, beans, or grain.

Merry Happy.

Support the war.

Lesson

Wayner 107

Your assignment:

1.
Be an elected leader.

It’s abstract, but not so much.

When you’re in power, declining a clemency for Tookie is an easy thing to do. He has, afterall, been found to have killed others to advance himself, or for the purpose of revenge, and so, I say an eye for an eye. Say I!
But what happens when we advance this logic to a new definition of “an eye for an eye.” What if one day the Retards make abortion a felony murder crime? Could not some other retard then, at the very least, argue that a manslaughter charge should be leveled against any women who miscarriages?

2.
Also, watch the same news broadcast of the same story at the same time of day on all available channels, and note the differences. There are some. Do it for three nights. Use your technology.

Extra credit: Set your TV to ‘scan mode’ and note how many times the word terrorist, murdered, officers, frightened, or even words that stick out for you, come up. Record and save them. Later we'll make a fun puzzle with them.

My only hero, ever.

Michael Newdow http://www.restorethepledge.com/mike_newdow/ is the one person who has risen to the status of hero in my eyes. I have called others hero, but I have never really meant it until now. His battle against the perpetual retardation of our species is the greatest battle ever fought, especially in the modern era. Jesus, and any other manifestation of a god or gods, is the problem, folks, not the answer. If we can get over the fairy tale, we can begin to move forward, so help me God.

Here is my contribution to this dumb website:
http://patterico.com/2005/11/23/3986/michael-newdow-thumbs-down/
Can’t speak to the show, I didn’t see it, but I think his cause is the greatest fight this country will ever see. To answer Black Jack’s question, I would replace In God We Trust with In The Union, or In The Constitution, We Trust. Taking the word God off our money does not mean the government would be taking an atheist stand, but rather an agnostic stand. Agnostics make no claim either way, because they know that such claims cannot be proven. Newdow makes the unprovable claim that there is no god, hence he is an atheist, but he isn’t fighting for the country to become atheist, he wants the government to be agnostic. He is absolutely correct in this fight. Hell, if it was up to me, I’d ban all religions and jail the lot of you, but no worries, I have no ambition to rule over retards.

It begins
