Religion requires you to supress your intellect. Since when?
Since never. This attitude is quite dog-eared by now and yet there are still those who imagine that rejection of religion demonstrates intellectual rigor. Some of the most brilliant minds who have ever lived have been devout Christians without ever feeling that their faith required them to "suppress" their intelligence. Quite the contrary.

Yes, Matt and Trey have said repeatedly that they are Republicans, but for some weird reason the losertarians always claim them as their own.
They do the same thing to Jim Carey who has also clearly stated that he is a Republican.

"How do you know that Bible is the word of God, and not just some made up mysticism?" They can't prove it is the word of God. They take it on Faith.
Then by your own scenario you can't prove that the Bible isn't the word of G_d. You take it on "faith" yourself that it isn't.
Does that make you more or less intelligent.

BUMP!
Check it out man, there talking about us! They've finally found a name for our kind, and I gotta say I like it. South Park Republicans....
Cartman on hippies: "God I hate hippies...."
Cartman on helping the homeless on Thanksgiving: "...isn't it enough I pay taxes?!?!"
Cartman on Democrats: "Democrats piss me off!"
Man, I'm telling everyone out there Cartman is one of the "proudest Republicans" I've ever heard, and dang funny too!
If your conservative, and you can live with edgy humor, you gotta do yourself a favor and check this out. I promise you'll laugh hard, especially at Cartman.

Some agree with every plank in the party's platform, in spite of having a nose ring and purple mohawk. While I have never had a nose ring, i do have body piercings and tattoos and have been known to dye my hair. Purple being my favorite.

Religion requires you to supress your intellect. I think you have religion confused with pot.

To: MarkeyD
And didn't the creators of South Park indicate that they were "Proud Republicans"?Yes they did

"since when?"
Pretty much since God said man was made from a grain of dirt, and woman made from one of Adams ribs.... not to mention no loving God would put Democrats on his Earth.... teeheehee

Ad here is a question to make any empiricist uncomfortable: "How do you know that the phenomena you perceive with your senses have any relation to reality as it actually exists?" You don't, of course. You take it on faith that there exists an objective reality outside of yourself that corresponds in some meaningful way with your sensory impressions. But, as Descartes pointed out, that faith is very much subject to doubt. Being a materialist is to eventually come to the conclusion that the only thing that cannot be doubted is one's own existence: cogito ergo sum, "I think, therefore I am". But, since one's own thoughts are directly experienced, not perceived via sensory impresions (one does not literally "hear oneself think"), then the rationalist is left with the uncomfortable realization that the only thing in the universe one can know exists cannot be demonstrated to exist -- and, thus, that the entire structure of empiricism is based upon a non-empirical foundation.

What about Albert Einstein? Steven Hawkins(sp?)? These are argueably two of the greatest minds to ever walk the face of the planet.

Is there such a think as a "Simpsons" Republican? I'd rather be that.
Off point, but wasn't the most recent South Park with the "Quest of the One Videotape" a riot?
Precioussss...

Having faith in something is to suspend doubt.Not to me.
Heb. 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Much more in Hebrews 11 about faith.
And for a secular description...
1 a : allegiance to duty or a person : LOYALTY b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions
2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust
3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs
I don't find your definition/interpretation credible, but carry on. (wiping the dust off my shoes)

guess I too am a South Park Republican. Whew! It's nice to have a "group name" to relate to. Environmentalism requires you to supress your intellect.
Me too and I eat taco bell as well.
Although I think of myself as a Cartman Republican. "I'm not fat, I'm just big boned."
