Observations and inanities by a second-shift assistant supervisor in the Puppy-Grinding division of the Evil Atheist Conspiracy® (our motto: "Sure it's cruel, but think of the jobs!"), your host, Brent Rasmussen.
*bzzzt* - Wrong answer.
If you had any doubt about Kathryn Jean Lopez, the editor of the National Review Online, then read her current column at the National Catholic Register. It's pure, unadulterated revisionism with a side order of theocracy thrown in for good measure:
We’re a nation not just where you are free to believe or not to believe; we’re a nation founded for Him — so we could praise Him, so we could do His will. Warren began his prayer as a gentle reminder to those privileged with seats and every Joe sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial:
“Almighty God — our Father. Everything we see, and everything we can’t see, exists because of you alone. It all comes from you. It all belongs to you. It all exists for your glory.”
After a morning of “Obama!” chants, I would have loved to hear some of the crowd — or the president-to-be — join Warren in praying the Lord’s Prayer.
Alas.
There's more. She praises Bush for his humility, which actually makes a lot of sense since he has so very much to be humble about. But I just had lunch, so don't quite feel up to pasting in quotes from George Bush.
Anyway, K-Lo, your leading Conservative thinker and theocrat, doing her mediocre best to spread the lie that the US was founded as a Christian Nation.

Those who forget history
Sometimes they don't repeat it. It always amazes me when people attempt to rewrite history. Nanking never occurred. Auscwitz and the other camps don't exist. There never were any killing fields in Cambodia. And this:
Shows she never read the Declaration of Independence, which does not include being a Christian among the inalienable rights enumerated by our founding fathers, nor does the Constution. I guess they thought that being able to worship as you chose was too obvious to stick into either of those documents. And then when they decided it was necessary to set up a list of the rights, the right of freedom of religion - very much not the "right" to be of a specific religion - was the first right included. Along with rights of free speech and the press, which had been abrogated under English rule.
There must have been a reason the founding fathers thought these were equally important, and primarily important. And it always makes me shudder to read tripe by persons who are ignorant of the foundation of our country. Thank goodness That Ilk are now out of the Presidential suite, and someone who appears to recognize, understand, and support the Bill of rights is in there.
Make me puke
Another religious fanatic, this time with their own unique brand of C4 wrapped around their waist. Not happy unless they are stuffing their personal beliefs down our throats and up our butts at the same time.
This makes me so mad...
...I could...I could just...
Sigh.
I hate this crap. Thank you/curse you for posting it. Potential for peaceful nap time eliminated! Commence fuming!
