Fucking damnit.

I want someone who sympathizes with the Tea Party in here RIGHT NOW so they can make me burst into laughter and vitriol by trying to justify this.

Heeeeeeeeere's theocracy!

Pride and spite are my main reasons for liking it.

God fucking hell shit fucking cock.

DAMMIT. JUST DAMMIT.

See? It's like trolling, only more satisfying, honest, and constructive.

Pretty sure it wasn't directed at you.

Sorry if you're feeling undervalued or stigmatized. Not that conservatives don't deserve every ounce of derision, of course.

Jefferson is rolling in his grave.

I'm wondering what thumb tacks taste like right now.

Probably like staple sauce.

WHAT is this supposed to accomplish? Really? I think the sheer stupid is hurting my brain.

Nothing. Maybe some happy feelings that their religion is being loved.

Accela: Increased likelihood of being in the minority come 2013, hopefully.

" Pretty sure it wasn't directed at you. "

I know it wasn't directed at me. I am saying that I support things like "In God We Trust" on all federal buildings because it elicits that reaction.

"Sorry if you're feeling undervalued or stigmatized. Not that conservatives don't deserve every ounce of derision, of course. "

That's why I'm here. Everyone should post in at least one forum that is predominantly filled with their political opposites. If one is so weak in their own convictions that they cannot stand to discuss them with those in opposition, then one should question the validity of those beliefs.

Anyone who thinks the GOP actually wants to responsibly balance the budget either doesn't pay enough attention to the news, or is totally disconnected from reality.

The next time some black metal fanatic burns down a bunch of churches, I'm gonna fuckin' cheer...

Please don't cheer when people burn down churches...just don't. I LIKE THOSE PLACES D:

I'm just pissed that we're wasting money on something so stupid.

Church-burning fanatics tend to be of the white variety. Just sayin'.

Uhh...sure, Sensei.

Actually I dislike echo chambers as well, and you're not so much an ideological opposite as you are somebody who dislikes broad stroke characterizations, which I also can also get behind.

Vaguely offensive-sounding non sequitur, much?

EDIT: Never mind. I see what's going on there, now.

(black metal) fanatic, not black (metal fanatic).

Edited for confusion. Yeah, I saw the "metal", I was feebly trying to make a pun.

This is like an echo in reverse, where I hear what I'm going to say before I say it.

As for the echo stuff, it's kind of strange since I read a Libertarian newspaper that often has completely opposite views from the majority here, so it's difficult to tell what's actually true.

The thing about the Economist and WSJ: that audience is living in the real world. Those readers need to know the score so they can invest their money. Any editorial slant in the writing is mostly irrelevant, because at least they're reporting facts and not blanket disinformation. (I'm speaking of pre-Rupert WSJ — I have no idea of its quality lately).

-raises eyebrow-

I can see the first one, but I call bullshit on the last two.

If that bill passes, it's like taking Separation of Church and State, putting it in bondage, and repeatedly raping it without lube.

How much more blatant of a violation can you get? Basically putting a huge "LOL WE LIKE GOD" on every government building?
