All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
So according to Newt Gingrich -- and Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin -- it is half the fault of people like me, because, while I am emphatically not socialist, I am indeed secular.
It's the fault of bad people like me who don't believe in god. Who don't love jesus. Who don't go to church on sunday and praise the lord. It's us. The secular people who have left god out of government. Fuck the first amendment, it didn't mean freedom FROM religion. You MUST have religion in the government.
Oh sure, we're busting our chops trying to get people to pay attention to the fact that we are at war with radical islam. But we do more harm than good because we don't want to let jesus run the government instead.
Drop dead, Gingrich. I am effing sick of this crap. If it makes you feel better, from now on I'll only put half as much time into worrying about the goddam islamists. I don't need to worry about this 24/7 only to be told by smug jerks like you that it's MY FAULT.
And don't tell me that I should kiss his fat ass because at least he doesn't want to behead me. I'm SICK OF THE FUCKING VERBAL ABUSE FROM THE FUCKING SANCTIMONIOUS YOU-GOTTA-BELIEVE-IN-GODDAS. I'm sick of having to "understand" it. I'm sick of having to "not be offended" by it.
I'm sick of always being second best because I don't believe in ghosts and goblins.
And I'm getting sick of asking Robert if I can wear one of Bosch's t-shirts to the Memorial Not Demonstration before I shell out for one. Plus my flag is probably the wrong damn size. And can I keep the pin on my hat that says "No Mosque"?
I liked it much better when we just got ragged on for offending muslims.
Hey RRA, keep swinging bud. As a fellow atheist I get what you're saying and I appreciate your contributions to the IBA.
Here's the thing though. Pamela and Robert are way out there at the tip of the ideological counter jihad spear. They are putting their lives on the line all the time for us. Does anything they are doing now indicate they are going soft or even 'chucky' on the jihad. No? Well then why not go along to the rally butt naked if they happen to think that is the right approach? What I mean is, just like Geert Wilders and Pat Condell, shouldn't we all be essentially willing to take a bullet for these courageous and talented people?
Newt or Beck, on the other hand? Not so much. But it is nice when they get some things right ;-)
He's talking about the current political climate in D.C. and you know it. He didn't mention God or Religion nor lay blame on you, or anyone else who is an atheist (nor do I) You're part of the solution he's atalking about, not the problem. But of course you prefer to come screaming in like a banshee. Because you seem to think nobody has a right to believe anything about God and Religion if it contradicts your own view and anyone who does is de facto out to get you.
Sorry to disappoint you but I don't think that way about you. In fact for some odd reason I actually like and respect you. I just don't share your views on God.
Nor do I have to. Nor yours mine. Nor Palin or Newt or Rush or Beck.
You're right. The Fiorst doesn't mean freedom from religion. It means only that the gov't can't establish one. If I want to believe in one and speak about it the First protects that Right. Just like it protects Beck and Palin and Newt and Rush, none of whom are gov't figures right now. And just as it protects your right to not believe and speak about it and think we're all fucking assholes who should just shut the fuck up.
Well, think what you will, speak your mind. I'll not apologize for being Christian nor Catholic NOR will I condemn you nor deride you for being an atheist. If you think this was intended as an insult or posted as an insult to you or any other atheist then you have the problem, not me.
And none of that is really the meat and potatoes of this post.
And while we're at it many of us are pretty effing sick of wondering whether when we put up a post that mentions God or abortion or Sarah or Newt or feminism or Religion if you're going to come screaming out of the fucking woodwork with some trumped up paranoid they're all out to get the atheists bullshit and distract from the main body of the post.

Midnight Rider,
Man, I love Newt.

Yes, but rra, how do you REALLY feel?
Sorry.
I keep forgetting my PLACE. No wonder I make a lousy dhimmi.

-note (from anonymous above)
I tend to use "ideological" and "philosophical" interchangably and I'm not entirely satisfied with either one in the usage above.
Open to suggestions.
Ideology
Philosophy
Worldview
Cultural Perspective

Just saying.
