[Peter Libra]

Outsider here. Certainly do not presume to get into American politics. Do not pay taxes and cannot vote. Having said that - A word on Mr Foxworthy. Yes, I have heard the man, now I turn anything off when I hear or see this individual.

Like Roger Moore, he makes a huge joke out of certain people. That is ok of course. This man is on safe ground with his humour. Perhaps people do not dare criticise. All good fun, of course. Problem is that he is a white liberals dream. Pour on the stereotype and make believe it is fun.

Ok Foxworthy, you gets Peter Libra's gold medal. You deserve it. Question is when you mount the podium, Where should the gold medal be put?

When and if people see though his "hate' which is what it is, he won't seem funny anymore. Flame away. Semi-icons are there to be shot down.

This A$$hole just doesn't understand that it only takes two words to unify all of these splinters and many dim as well.

Barf alert please.

Pure drivel.

[gcruse]

There are those people that want to be left alone,
and there are those people that refuse to leave others alone

Ping for a common sense, hence controversial, article.

[Britton J Wingfield]

Looks about right to me.

[Britton J Wingfield]

Oops, part right. I don't think we are 'adventuring' in Iraq. We are doing some overdue housecleaning.

BARF ALERT!!

There's an awful lot of hue and cry over this article when it's essentially a very insightful analysis. I guess it rings a little too true for some people's liking.

Good article.

I have always wanted an america that lets me worship as I please, or as I don't. I have never understood the insane desire for a biblical-theocratic america where sometimes ridiculous and irrational belief systems are constantly being codified into law (or at least attempted on some level). They all seem to press for somebody else's (other than mine that is) religious convictions, enforced in the public arena, and upon the public under threat of life, limb or treasure.

The religious nuts who ruined Europe prior to the onset of the dark ages, and who resisted the age of reason, with it's technological and medical brilliance... are all coming to their fullness of time here. They want... a CHRISTIAN nation... instead of a nation of Christians.

It will be our undoing, as a two party system, a nation, and even as individual Christians with conscience.

Having a "born again" president is not enough for some folks. Instead, they want to march the nation by force, through the mississippi and declare us all to be "righteous catholics" or "evangelicals" or "mormons" or "charismaniacs". The problem is human laws and decrees, can never birth a human soul, from death to life.


The crux of the problem is also the fact that these folks pretty much reject each other as heretics. They spew hatred at the "others" over doctrinal interpretations of statements made over a millenia ago, in another language and culture that does not exist today. YET they insist they KNOW what EVERYTHING must mean, what MUST be made into law, and what MUST be enforced on the wicked "unbelievers" they truly hate.

What they THINK they want, they could never live with. It didn't work in Pre dark-ages medievil europe, and teh proven false theories of both divine right and rule is even less viable now.

We have to resolve it, or face our own, very dark age of unenlightenment... and probably sooner than we would like to admit. Technology moves things a lot faster than it used to, and some things, like religious politics and political religions... just are too dangerous to toy with any longer.

Socialism is just plain evil, whether it's masters are Christian socialist, or Politically correct secular humanists. Both are the bane of our times.

Wow, you haven't been banned yet for not drinking the GOP KoolAid!

[longtermmemmory]

Before every landslide this article comes up.

Republicans are killing each other
Republicans hate each other
The christians are leaving the party.
Abortion is going to end the republican party.
Tax cuts are going to end the party
yada
yada
yada

Its all barbras streisand. The writer forgets there is no other show in town. (that can win)

Unless you are homosexual, feminist, leftist, or a race baiter there is no place for you in the democrat party.

The democrats must be in BIG trouble if this article is comming out before the Republican convention.

[Young Rhino]

That last big split gave Patsy and the Brigadiers 1% of the vote.

The Greens alone are far more of a threat to the Dimwits that what the GOP is facing.

[Torie]

The crackup of the GOP must be why Bush in poll after poll gets 90% plus support from self indentified Pubbies. Secular somewhat more economically oriented free market types with a relaxed view about social issues that are not particularly interested in waging a culture war, and more religious moralist types have been compromising with each other in the GOP since rocks cooled. This breakup stuff is so ersatz.
