This Godless American, yes I am an atheist, will be voting for Mr. President George W. Bush.
Gosh, they must not be listening to their candidate. Why, he's a Catholic who was even an altar boy.
I wonder if he threw his scapular over the altar after he served?
> Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists and other nonbelievers ...
Are just as likely as Jews and Christians to be murdered
by the cutthroat cult, and just as likely to suffer when
a Kerry admin marches us into poverty, slavery and oblivion.
A vote for Bush is not a vote for theocracy.
A vote for Kerry is a vote for catastrophe.
Somehow, this country was able to survive all the way into the 1960's without this being a problem. It's truly amazing that now its the number one problem to so many people.
But it doesn't come close to Kerry sycophant Lawrence O'Donell's wild tirade against John O'Neil....You gotta see it.
Godless Americans Endorse John Kerry
So do drug addicts, sexual divants, perverts, freeloaders, and terrorists.
Yassar Arafat endorses John Kerry and 98% of the Jewish voters in Dade and Broward Counties will vote for him.
That is a lie straight from the pit of hell. There is a big, huge, gigantic difference between the parties. One is American, one is communist for starters.
Oh come on, GAMPAC? An actual organization pretending to be herding the opinion of those who are like cats? Who died and elected them my delegate?
Add to that the folks at the so-called "American Conservative" who endorsed him today.
Godless and Terrorists for Kerry...he must be soooo proud!
Well, this is one atheists that spent 20 years in the military and my vote goes to Bush.
I'm getting really sick and tired of all these groups that say they speak for me.
Nor is it the case that the left offers any alternative to the threats to the mind offered by the religious right. Censorship? We already have the shocking McCain-Feingold abridgement of the right of free speech--and in regard to political elections, no less. The left is no longer composed of liberals and no longer even supports free speech. The left has slid further than the right down the abyss into shackles on the mind, with "hate crimes," government-controlled pseudo-science ("global warming" and all of environmentalism), and general "political correctness."
Further, bear in mind that the left remains firmly in control of the universities, the educational system, and, to a lesser extent, the mainstream media. The growth of religiosity, frightening as it is, is a grass-roots phenomenon. The citadels of the intellectual leadership remain, unbreached, in the hands of the skeptic-nihilists. In the intermediate term, we have more to fear from the Rorty's than from the Jerry Falwells.
On a world-historical scale, measured in half-centuries, the power of the skeptic-nihilists is indeed spent. But in the intermediate term, they have the power to do much more damage to this country than does the religious right.
I agree with Robert Tracinski's point:
"The growing influence of the religious right at home is indeed an ominous threat to liberty. But whether or not America retreats in the War on Terrorism will be decided in the next four years. Whether or not America maintains the separation of church and state is an issue that will be fought over a much longer time. It is a threat that is gathering strength, not one that has come to a head." ("Anti-Bushites for Bush," The Intellectual Activist, Sept. 2004)
The fact that the left is now philosophically bankrupt and has no further place to go does not mean that they are not a tremendous threat culturally and in terms of our physical safety from terrorist attacks.
