Vote Faircloth 2012. If not then, 2016. Let's make it happen.

@preetor1 Next you'll be downplaying the number of blacks that were enslaved. Its strange that the only people who deny the holocaust have a transparent hatred for the Jews. I stand by my statements and dismiss you as a conspiracy theorist/racist.

@UtopiaMinor666 Wow, I had exact the same thought as you. One should mail Dinesh D'Zousa and ask him if he would like to do that debate.

[UtopiaMinor666]

i would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to see an atheist/secularist debate an evangelical/dominionist christian on whether America is a christian nation!

@NoDerpingAllowed

Voters aren't persuaded by logic.

[NoDerpingAllowed]

@Mrmoc7 More like 20%, and that's just counting the ones who have spoken up. As a candidate with logic on his side, he could tear a strip in anyone who dares debate him. Call me naive, but if someone like Rick Santorum is crazy enough to be considered for president, then America is crazy enough for this guy.

@NoDerpingAllowed

I think he'll probably get most of the Atheist vote, which is about 10% of the population...can't win!

[chandlerblancaflor]

@NoDerpingAllowed It might be a stretch for me to say since I only today found out about this guy, but I would thus far be in full support of this.

longest fucking question ever.

[preetor1]

Not to even mention, whole jewish culture is build by the myths that christians just have to accept. If that disappears, how the jews ever live after that? Ah, yes, the crypto judaism. That must be the only way after that.

[preetor1]

I really cant get this Sean Faircloth character. Hes a jew, atheist and wants ppl to reject myths and get rid of religions, right?

Its a huge self-destruction for whole jewish culture to make christians actually to reject myths. If all christians would abandon their religion and started to think rationally. It would mean that the jews wouldnt be the chosen ppl anymore. THEN the jews would actually have to suffer the penalties from all the crimes they still go free i.e. genocide of Palestinians.

Faircloth is so annoying.
