As my Bro, the Old retired rocket scientist said, when I told him I was in favor of Obama,
” Oh Good. You get to vote for the captain of the Titanic,,,”

Reference to Heinliens “If this Goes On,,,” took the wind from my sails. We’re not the first(few)generations to be aware of the insidious nature of religious extremism. I expect(but cannot prove) Europeans were quite happy when their religious extremists migrated to the new world. Probably took a deep breath of relief and said, ” Golly, what a vast improvement to the neighborhood,,,”.
Likely they had no idea we’d ever return,,,

If “Dubya’ can get elected … Huckabee can.

There are enough fools as has been proven already.

I forget who said it but there’s a quote somewhere that goes something like :

“The best thing about America is that anybody can get elected President.
The worst thing about America is that anybody can get elected President!”

George II & the nominations of the likes of Huckabee (& in the past Reagun, Quayle, Buchanan, Duke, etc … ) demonstatre the sad truth of that flipside.

If Iwere AmercianI’d be very worried when I see front running candadidates like Huckabigot..

Heck as a human on this planet I am very worried by the potential for disaster, death and suffering as a result of intolerant bigots running teh only superpower standing and the world’s biggest rogue nation .. the US of A.

On the bright side I hear Hucka~nut’s running short of cash.
On the bad side Idon’t think teh Retardican party nomination is anywhere nearsettled yet -and nor is your Presidential election.

For rational voters or intelligent people the Democratic Party should be a shoe-in & Obama should become the first non-White Old-Man in aptly-named “White” House.

Unfortunately, on past form (most of present company excluded of course!) rational folk seem thin on the ground in America …

I love that word, “freethinkers,” with the implication that those who disagree with them aren’t free to think. Kind of like “brights,” although “freethinkers” is much, much older — 18th century if I remember correctly. Ad hominem lives.

Wow, some really great posts here.
I want to mention a wonderful organization in our midst.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is an organization that constantly battles any and all groups trying to circumvent the separation of church and state throughout the country. They are a credit to Freethinkers and Humanists everywhere and are worth having you check out their website.

Rub posts:

[[Thus, you become guilty by association with the loony fundamentalist, ]]

Rub, you do realize that “guilt by association” is a subset of the ad hominem fallacy, don’t you? It’s a specimen of a logical error. Remember Joe McCarthy?

[[ It’s folly to argue with a fool who wears his faith in myths like a turtle’s shell where nothing, not even truth, may pierce his carapace.
]]

I know, but for some reason I keep responding to you anyway.
