Atheists attacked and large public support for Christianity

As an atheist, I never realized that I was a threat to take down the remains of the World Trade Center. That I was trying to "finish the job" that Muslim terrorists committed on 9/11/01. I must be, because some guy named Shawn Akers (who I haven't even heard of until 5...

Why do anti-gay opponents think they are persecuted?

Well, I was listening to conservative talk radio (and calling into some shows) on the issue of marriage equality for gay couples, as this issue is before the U.S. Supreme Court right now. Now, one of the hosts stated that those young people who think of their elders...

Why the government should not say your god is true

I called in to a national radio talk show. The host is a Jewish conservative but a supporter of the government promoting religion (or at least theism) by keeping the mentioning of a god in the Pledge of Allegiance, on our currency, among other things. I stated, as I have...

Why are conservatives attacking Django Unchained?

If you know anything about Quinton Tarantino, it is that he is a fine director and writer and not half bad actor, such as when he starred with George Clooney in from Dawn till Dusk. One of the common themes of his movies is revenge. He did so with the Kill Bill movies, part...

Why government isn't an arm of religion

I was listening to conservative talk radio yesterday and the host re-played a caller of his from earlier in the week. The caller was religious and did not believe that her religion and her church should have same sex marriages. That was against her personal religious...

Why Glenn Beck knows nothing when it comes to logic and religion

I was listening to Glenn Beck, an ultra-rightwing radio talk show host and I must say I am amazed at his ignorance of basic history. He was talking about a Kansas town named Buhler which had in a city park a logo with the city's name and a cross. The organization that...

No to sex eduction, but yes to biblical education?

A conservative on the radio deplored "god" being kicked out of the public schools. She then, within 10 seconds stated that schools should focus on academic things, instead of things such as sexual education. Hmmm, she seemed not to notice that both statements completely...

The silly bible and 1/2 of Americans don't believe in evolution

Did you know almost 50% of Americans believe that lung cancer is caused by little elves tearing holes in lungs, and not things like smoking? Well, the politicans elected by the tobacco lobby might like people to believe that. Did you know that 50% of Americans believe...

I was listening to talk radio on this recent Labor day and I hear

I was listening to talk radio and I heard rightwing talker after talker bash unions. I've never understood the average conservative or tea party member's opposition to unions. O.K., they don't like public unions, but it is also their opposition to private unions. Most of them...

Rightwing says any criticism of Sarah Palin, is sexist? At all?

Sarah Palin spent an interview attacking President Obama. Which is of course her perfect right. She called him a man of "radicalism" and "not a man of valor". Again her right. But when the Obama campaign ran an ad countering her comments, she and her defenders engaged in a...

Tak radio lies told about global warming

I was listening to a rightwinger on talk radio who stated that to believe in man made global warming (as do the vast majority of scientists on this question by the way), you must believe that most CO2s or global warming gases are caused by human beings. I thought, this guy...

Where have all the "support the troop" ribbons gone?

Something I have noticed, why are there so much fewer "support the troops" ribbons on cars? When George Bush was president, they were everywhere. Where have they gone? Did those conservative critics of Obama's handling of the military conflict in Libya, not care about the...
