Someday, God, Allah, and Yahweh will belong to the same group as Zeus, Minerva, Osiris, and Quetzalcoatl. The Religion of a Ancient Civilization.

Religion has nothing to do with politics, why the obsession with what people believe in?

"Bush wasn't a conservative at ALL--he was as fiscally liberal as Obumass"

'Obumass'? That passes for clever with you? WOW. Anyway, GW was 'fiscally responsible'? GIMME A BREAK...he took a record SURPLUS and created a RECORD DEBT with his fake ass 'war'...thanks to GW, we are indebted for GENERATIONS to come...educate yourself, MORON.

@HNK222 Haha--you said Bush was a conservative--Bush wasn't a conservative at ALL--he was as fiscally liberal as Obumass. When you can actually point to a conservative, you can have your low iq comment, until then, this comment is void. TRUST ME! At this point, Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice than the retarded fucking bitchmade motherfucker in office now! You're right the chimp left in 2009 and was followed by a retarded chimp!

@atlanteavila No doubt assholes like you would be happy some dipshit like Gingrich, Bachmann, Perry wins, even if it meant a 100% continuation of the Bush policies - the policies that single out low income Americans like yourself - for a royal fucking as we endured 2001-2009

As long as it's a white Republican, clowns like you will vote against their own self-interest to get them in office.

What did you learn from Bush and conservatism creating the worst economy since the Great Depression?

[HNK222]

@atlanteavila The chimp left in January 2009. Try to keep up.

Wow this guy should be President!!!

[atlanteavila]

@nickbradvica hahaha all over a fake speech? What a loser, you're the reason we're being lead by a chimp as a president. We need this fuckass out of office!!! WE NEEDED HIM OUT IN JANUARY OF 2009!

"wall of separation between church and state,"as written in Thomas Jefferson letter 2 the Danbury Baptist Assoc1802.Text reads"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,thus building a wall of separation between Church & State." Jefferson reflected his frequent speaking theme that the government is not 2interfere w/ religion

@mindelo23

FYI, a freshman congressman (Keith Ellison) swore in on the Koran in lieu of the Bible, and Fox News and several Christian groups made a big deal about it in 2007.

If Christians can swear in on their holy book, but Muslims get chastised for swearing in on their holy book, that's religious discrimination. Government shall neither endorse nor prohibit specific religious practices by individual citizens.
