John Quincy Adams swore in on a law book.
If the American people will elect, and then re-elect, a homosexual Kenyan Muslim to the Presidency, who could be surprised if they elect an Atheist?
I used to get really upset about polls.
Was I ever that young.
And 100% of opinion polls are “made as instructed”
What Americans are saying is that they only want $$$ from their government. Make me feel good and give me bread and circuses.
They have no interest in their leaders’ morality or beliefs. Thus, they will have no basis by which to judge their government or its laws, except by the supposed short-term material benefits it supplies.
And to paraphrase Ben Franklin “they will get neither.”
That’s a scary proposition
The polls were amazingly accurate in the 2012 election cycle. A lot of conservative commentators who believed as you seem to believe lost or had damaged their reputations.
I will vote for Ted, I might be able to vote for Walker
I wouldn’t vote for the rest
I wouldn’t vote for Trump for dogcatcher if he ran unopposed.
And 60% would happily do it again.
Would? Ha! We just did. Twice.
I’ll vote for Pat Condell in a heartbeat.
I’d settle for one that actually believes in the rule of law.
Go to Wikipedia and search for affirmation.
Is an atheist running? Then it matters not one whit whether people would or would not vote for any hypothetical “atheist”.
Find something else to try to float an opinion about. Like which is more offensive, the battle standard of Northern Virginia (popularly called “the Confederate flag”, but it never was), or the black flag of ISIS?
You seem to want to make your stay here a short one, don’t you.
A majority of illusory voters, even dead ones.
“The polls were amazingly accurate in the 2012 election cycle. A lot of conservative commentators who believed as you seem to believe lost or had damaged their reputations.”
Indeed.
Sure, there are always bad polls, rigged polls. But a lot of them are quite accurate.
Just ask President Romney, who scrapped the Election Day get-out-the-vote game because his magical polls showed him so far ahead that he didn’t have to bother with it.
For my own part, I’d rather have a conservative atheist in office than a Christian liberal. There aren’t a whole lot of the former, perhaps, but it’d still be preferable.
I agree... Obama strikes me as a cultural adherent to Islam, but his belief system is based on atheism. I highly doubt he has a belief in a higher power than himself.
Atheists are not atheists - they are actively ANTI-theist.
IF you are threatening me, have at it. IF my stay here turns out to be a short one, so be it. Remember that FREEDOM works both ways. You don’t have to like what I say, but I do have the right to say it.
