There are some who won't be happy until this country is the Christian equivalent of Iran or Afghanistan under Taliban rule.  You know how you boil a frog, right?  Degree by degree, the religious types are turning up the burner.

Three people walked out because a declared atheist delivered the invocaton and you say Christians are "turning up the burner"? Whatever happened to free speech?

By far, I've noticed Christians and other parties of the Christian religion can sure be Jerks, and prettythang-Holes.

But, who isnt now adays?

I once had frog legs. They were delicious. Lightly fried in a seasoned butter mix that gave them the texture of a fried soft shell crab. Speaking of soft shell crabs, man, they are awesome. Nothing like a fried Maryland blue soft shell crab sandwich, tastes great and don't have to bother with taking the shell off. Oh, and crab cake sandwiches made from freshly caught Maryland blues - that **** bought in the store tastes like newspaper after you've made your own and eaten them. Delicious.

Liberals.  They are intelligent, wise and caring.  If we could abandon our selfish ways they would lead us to a better world.

Sorry allergic to bull****, I use to call my self liberal, but, I'm extremely conservative in some things, and then Liberal in others.

I'm Pro gun, but very conservative when it comes to Old Glory, if I see a tatterd/faded one I rant and rave about it, cause I'm pissed.
