    Dickie-
    I am not trolling you here, but there's got to be a point when atheists realize nobody gives a shit about their lack of belief. There's got to be that point, right?

    The other side of the coin is that fundamentalist Christians have to realize that their beliefs are not the controlling factor in making laws for an entire nation.

    Should we call it 'radical Islam'? - CNN.com

    Let's face it: That Islam is a religion of peace, as George W. Bush stressed after 9/11, is something most of us need reminding of. Humans generalize; we harbor associations. In such a climate, "radical Islam" is especially prone to sounding like a summation of Islam in general. It's how many of us might guiltily hear it and how many Muslims would process it. Certainly Islamist terrorists would: Of all of the qualities one might attribute to them, subtlety is not one of them.
    ...
    So, the indignant right-wing columnists who yearn for America to express a more direct contempt for ISIS are missing that we can do that via exactly the euphemism they read as a sign of weakness. In saying we are battling "terrorists" rather than "radical Islam," we reveal ourselves as better than the barbarians.

    That's funny as hell coming from you. You're the only guy around here loves throwing N-bombs around. Try looking in the mirror next time yo want to call somebody a racist or bigot.

    Jonah Goldberg is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, aka a Koch Bros propaganda hydrant.

    Nothing he says about Obama or anything he does need be taken seriously by anybody with an intellectual level past third grade.

    I can't imagine it would be difficult for someone as brilliant as you claim to be to actually refute even one of his points. But you can't, so you play the kill the messenger game, showing that any thought of you being smart is a complete fraud.

    So we're eliminating anyone who might have a bias from ever having an opinion? Fine.

    Obama is a Democrat. Nothing he says about Republicans or anything he does need be taken seriously by anybody with an intellectual level past kndergarten.

    The last public intellectual to question the president's hatred of our country (Dinesh D'Souza- "Roots of Obama's Rage") was later indicted.
