According to Cenk Uygur, co-host of the Young Turks and a self-described fervent agnostic, “We have a lunatic on the court.” He is speaking of Justice Antonin Scalia who stated in an interview with New York magazine that he believes in the existence of the devil. In the words of Uygur, that is “cuckoo for cocoa puffs.”
Really?

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it’s Turkish delight on a moonlit night
(Oh) every gal in Constantinople
(Oh) lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
(Oh) so if you’ve a date in Constantinople
(Oh) she’ll be waiting in Istanbul
Why would they be afraid of the “guy” they’re working for?
Good point.
No.
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.
Have you a link for that utter piece of excrement or just forgetting which way a toilet works.
Reagan in 1980 was the best thing to happen in this nation since its founding. Leave it to the left to ruin it.
These people that you claim never voted for Reagan happened to vote for whom?
I’m sorry to admit that I have never read this classic by Lewis. But it’s now on my short list.
You also might wish to read "The Great Divorce", also by Lewis, in which a resident of Hell is allowed to visit the foothills of Heaven.
Why are you here?
You don’t believe in life and you don’t know a thing about living. Take your misery elsewhere.

Not off hand, I simply recall hearing that some New York leftist said it.
Fine, I'll exercise my Google-fu skills. Checking, checking...
Pauline Kael, film critic for the New Yorker. Kael has often been quoted as having said, in the wake of Richard Nixon's landslide victory in the 1972 presidential election, that she "couldn't believe Nixon had won", since no one she knew had voted for him. There are variations as to the exact wording, the speaker (it has variously been attributed to other liberal female writers, including Katharine Graham, Susan Sontag, and Joan Didion) and the timing (in addition to Nixon's victory, it has been claimed to have been uttered after Ronald Reagan's re-election in 1984).
Huh. Learn something new every day. Well, I won't mus-attribute it to her in the future.
These people that you claim never voted for Reagan happened to vote for whom?
In 1980, 35.4 million of them voted for Jimmy Carter, and 5.7 million of them voted for John Anderson.
Because it amuses me.
Why are you here?
You don’t believe in life
Please document your (false) assertion.
and you don’t know a thing about living.
Please document your (false) assertion.
Take your misery elsewhere.
What misery? I'm pleased as punch! If anyone is coming across as bitter and miserable, it's thee, not me.
Huh. Learn something new every day.
Really?
Do you have a job at the Times or just play one on the interweb? You have nothing but utter contempt for this Country and haven't a clue who makes it happen. This government is only supported by the amount of money it can steal from a free market. We made the government to protect our borders and that is all. Please share your background and why anybody should listen to you.
Reagan won 49 states in 1984.
Out of 57 that’s not bad.
Did I say he didn't?
You haven’t said a damn thing except you an atheist. Thanks for playing.
This is the greatest country in the history of humanity, and what makes it work is free market capitalism, which is in increasingly short supply these days.
Please share your background and why anybody should listen to you.
I'm an anonymous voice on the internet...just like you. You don't like what I'm saying? Quit responding.
Honestly, I don't understand why you're being so unremittingly hostile on this thread. All I said to start off this chain of angry posts from you was that some East Coast liberal didn't understand how Reagen could have been elected, because they didn't know anyone who vote him...thus illustrating the utter cluelessness of the liberal "elite".
Why in the world does pointing this out anger you?
Yup, I'm an atheist. You have a problem with that, pal?
It’s been said that God is “supranatural” which would extend His influence beyond what we could ever know.
(M-Theory, so tempting. Like forbidden fruit.)
I think we’ll all be surprised.
Have a good day.
I’m not angered. Why are you so quick to judge my response?
I find your stand to be ridiculous and without merit.
You even posted some crazy meme from the left regarding 1984 and the Reagan landslide.
I hope your world is well and God may soon be a part of it.
We all know that C.S. Lewis found God, may you do the same.
God Bless
I freely admit that on the occasions I've tried to get a good grasp of M-Theory, my eyes tend to glaze over.
Have a good day.
May you have one as well!
