The ignorant and crude hyperbole spewed by conservative hucksters is testing the patience the majority of this country's electorate. Think we're angry now? After destroying the reputation of the USA in the international community, lying to the American people, torturing civilians, dragging Jesus' name through the mud by associating their Pharisaical intolerance with Christianity, selling the economic future of this country down the river in order to benefit their corporate pay masters, stifling life saving medical research, subverting education at every turn, putting the environment last despite global warming (psst... it's real. Scientists actually know what they are talking about) and just generally seeking to cram your primitive bronze age religiosity down the country's throat... yes we ARE angry. Sister, you haven't seen anything yet. We have had ENOUGH of you. Well, now I don't want to sound intolerant (like the Christian right), now do I?<BR/><BR/>ScienceAvenger... good stuff, I think I like you.Barry Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398201090657722833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-20687708280962917312009-03-05T09:22:00.000-06:002009-03-05T09:22:00.000-06:00Thank you Amanda for that insightful comment. You...Thank you Amanda for that insightful comment. You do realize that accusing people of being angry merely because they disagree with you is a sure sign of having no substance to your position, right? It's called ad hominem. We've seen rightwingers do this so much they have started sounding like jack-n-the-boxes: angry! angry!<BR/><BR/>That doesn't make us angry. It makes us laugh.ScienceAvengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855046387193200080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-42333706543443345672009-03-05T00:15:00.000-06:002009-03-05T00:15:00.000-06:00Your one angry fellow.
