She was called out by one of the justices on her position could lead to banning books & pamphlets. The supremes must have suddenly felt the gut-punch of it all, b/c that killed her position. So Kagan - you statist control-freak - way to go, on this one!Dan Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-68889815541333932722010-05-17T08:04:57.657-04:002010-05-17T08:04:57.657-04:00They all play the same game of evasion and obsfuca...They all play the same game of evasion and obsfucation. The religious believe their lives would be empty and meaningless without their gods and heavens, and they would rather see us enslaved or dead than have to face that. For the "secular" ones, their "heaven" is absolute power here and now, they want us enslaved, or dead if we get in the way.revereridesagainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-1131360428264578922010-05-16T22:29:47.510-04:002010-05-16T22:29:47.510-04:00The religious and secular hobgoblins are running a...The religious and secular hobgoblins are running amok. That’s what happens when there’s no rational opposition to them that would put them in their place, which is on the fringes of the culture. They see a vacuum, and they rush to fill it. Even the nominally rational defenders, such as Michele Bachmann, are altruists at heart. <br /><br />EdEdward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-28479425805876568102010-05-16T22:29:09.500-04:002010-05-16T22:29:09.500-04:00The religious and secular hobgoblins are running a...The religious and secular hobgoblins are running amok.

The degree to which such people believe that some "higher power" gives them the right to dispose of the lives of others never ceases to horrify. Exceeded, perhaps, only by their inevitable claim to a higher moral authority than we atheists/capitalists can ever possess.revereridesagainnoreply@blogger.com
