But there are a few cretins out there who claim that man existed along with the dinosaurs. I think there's a museum in the deep South that tries to "prove" that as well. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, all these people are from the funny farm. If it weren't for the phenomenon of mental compartmentalization, I don't think any of them would survive a day.<BR/><BR/>EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-30460865344413447472008-12-05T00:22:00.000-05:002008-12-05T00:22:00.000-05:00Obama's followers are not waiting to accuse Americ...Obama's followers are not waiting to accuse Americans of being "too selfish".

I hope I'm wrong. <BR/>But, what's there to do when a vast majority of the nation doesn't WANT liberty, but instead wants to be lead? <BR/>What steps must one take when you overhear conversations like, "Our problem is that we aren't taxed enough."? It seems the list of options for the pro-active lover of liberty is constantly dwindling. And don't even get me started on Waxman... You nailed it. <BR/>As to creationists/dino's, I've heard any number of explanations from denying their existence outright, to claiming God put the fossils there to sort of give us something to study... which is stupifyingly absurd.<BR/>The ultimate and easy way out is to claim that "God has ways we do not understand. God is beyond reason." And there you find yourself staring straight into the black hole of un-reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-91814550661247749492008-12-04T14:35:00.000-05:002008-12-04T14:35:00.000-05:00If you ever wanted a concrete picture of Ayn Rand’...<I>If you ever wanted a concrete picture of Ayn Rand’s “drooling beast” (The Fountainhead) look to the Senate and House, particularly at Henry Waxman, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi, and pick your villain. There is no reasoning with them, their power-lust is gracelessly shameless, and they mean to deliver the final death blows to what remains of freedom in this country.</I><BR/><BR/>This is dead on. They, with Barney Frank, make up a modern-day multi-headed Cerberus, only they've added to their job description. Their first task is to force us all into a statist hell.
