Who do you prefer, Bush or Gore, Reagan or Clinton?

None of the above. With the possible exception of Reagan before he was shot, they are all the same.

The national government....will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality.

Evil men know how to use religion for their own goals, and not just muslims

Creation/God...REFORMATION(Judeo-Christianity)---secular-govt.-humanism/SCIENCE---CIVILIZATION...enlightenment!

Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!

Evolution...Atheism-dehumanism---TYRANNY(pc/liberal/govt-religion/rhetoric)...

Then came the SPLIT SCHIZOPHRENIA/ZOMBIE/BRAVE-NWO1984 LIBERAL NEO-Soviet Darwin/ACLU America---the post-modern Phanthom age...

I do. I see Christ slamming fundamentalism in the same way he slammed the "Pharisees".

I'm not convinced that the negative reaction towards fundamentalists is wholly unearned. The caricature of the Fundamentalist Christian -- the ultra-legalist -- is not without merit.

They've earned it with me. Being told many times that I am going to hell for my religious beliefs is not a way to gain my admiration. I also like the folks in the county neighboring mine who vote down liquor by the drink every two years but also support a thriving apple brandy trade. Living with fundie Baptists is more amusing than hate-inspiring, though. Must be my good nature.

I much prefer your Dadaist, stream-of-consciousness zealotry.
