Here Come the Crazies
Guess the biggest demographic constantly ridiculed and attacked for their unshakable beliefs.

Atheists.
Like it or not, the godless, baby-killing sodomites of America are Americans too. And we’re tired of being ostracized by a party that preaches nothing but hate towards anyone who can’t agree with them. We may not have a god, but we do have feelings. I want to say the red team is desperate, but even that’s no excuse for such inflammatory divisiveness. Imagine if Elizabeth Dole’s ad had replaced the word “godless” with “black,” “women,” “Jews.”
Imagine if we elected leaders based on their faith in the US Constitution rather than a 2,000 year old book. Imagine if every politician trusted his brain over his gut. Imagine if we looked beyond the demographics and instead avowed ourselves to be unyielding believers in the power of Love.
I’ve imagined this world, and I hope to see it on November 4th, 2008.
You’ve imagined it, but does the US voting public have the courage to deliver it? With this decision comes responsibility for actions, no shrugging of shoulders and blaming someone else. Obama said so last night, government can provide better teachers but it’s the parents who have to switch off the video games and read to their children. This decision means you become a grown-up and put your shoulder to the wheel of life and not pray for someone else to assert the pressure. It’s not an easy decision to make for anyone who’s used to asking others to do the work for them. Y’know you might have something here with the Christian right extremists…. Interesting.
I do hope you realize that not all Christians have the same opinions as the ads above display or that they are all like that. I know there are priests, pastors, and many many Christians (and others who believe in a God) voting for Obama.
You can believe in the 2000 year old book and the Constitution
@eclectic you’re right about that. There are good people, and not so good people in all religions, in all walks of life. It’s always bad to lump everyone of a certain belief/culture in the same group. With extremists on the other hand, it’s hard to separate any out from the group because it’s their collective voice that gives them power.
