Parent You Need To RE-EXMINE YOUR VALUES, both patriotic and religious
[Read the article: Divining the brain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Re: Republicans having wealth and power and is that because they are dumb. No Reputhugs are not dumb they are criminals or borderline criminals, and that is the answer to your musing on that aspect of the topic.
The main problem I have with people like you and the Rethugs is not that you all believe in whatever it is you believe in, but that you force your beliefs on me and everyone else. Just keep your beliefs to yourself as most reasonable and polite people do, except you of the elite and arrogant.
I am a lifelong Catholic, do not force your beliefs on me. You have the right to your beliefs BUT I MOST ASSUREDLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO MINE, so get out of my face, keep your beliefs to yourself and learn to be the americans we all once were before you Repubs deeply divided and fractured this once wonderful country.
I have to tell you that religious fundamentalist jihadists, be they white Baptists, confederates, Catholics or muslims are frightening and dangerous to all human life on this planet. But reasoning and discussion are the solutions not Republican hegemony here in the USA or elsewhere around the world.
Next, regarding your comment about the fact that all others rage at people like you, that is simply not true in fact most do not rage at you they rage at the elitism and raw unfettered arrogance that you people constantly FORCE on all of the rest of us and your attempts to destroy America.
Why do you support Bush, Cheney, the Republican party and the nazi-fascist neocons that have a stranglehold on the 241 million americans who oppose their so called war on terror which they themselves created and keep on a boil.
59 million of you people voted for Bushco that means that you are forcing the other 241 million of us Americans to be subjected to your illegal and criminal destruction of the US. America is not just your country as you folks seem so convinced of. It's EQUALLY my country. But I am completely disenfranchised and have no voice because of your right wing conspiracy. You people are all blind, lock step and knee jerk Republicans who CLAIM to be christians. But exactly what kind of christians are you?
You are one of the many Catholics or white Baptists or other fundamentist radical extreme right wing theocrats who voted for the Bush band of criminals but don't use it to deny me my freedoms and rights guaranteed by the constitution that you are destroying via the actions of the SCOTUS, the POTUS and the Rethug congress. You have destroyed our two party system and therefore our 'system of checks and balances' without which our democratic form of government no longer exists. Hitler did the same thing.
It is absolutely amazing to me that you people could claim to be christians, catholics or whatever and yet you voted for the man, George Bush, who on four ocassions claimed to be the Christ. No where in my bible does it even suggest that Bush is the Christ. What is the matter with you. Those claims by Bush should have caused you to immediately reject him and yet you voted for him anyway. There is something terribly wrong with your kind of logic and christianity.
The fact that Bush is eroding our constitution to benefit your wealthy Repub friends should have caused you to summarily reject him, but you did not.
The fact that the Bush crime family will pass the torture bill shoud have caused you to demand his immediate impeachment, yet it did not. Because you endorse and support torture, do you think by any stretch of your mind that Jesus would support torture?
The fact that at last count, this past Spring Bush cited so far a total of 22 different reasons why he, not 'we the people', invaded Iraq should have caused you to demand his and Cheneys' immediate impeachment, trial in the US and another international trial at the Hague and their life long imprisonment for lying to the American people proves that you are not real true patriotic americans, you are Republicans and not christians in any sense of the word.
You all support Fox News, News Corp and Rupert Murdoch. But if you are real christians why do you support Murdoch who is the largest telecarrier of the most internet porn. If you support Bush&Co and his good friend Rupert then you support and endorse adult pornography, adult porn that reaches children, child pornography and the sexual slavery of both children and women. You can't be a christian but you support that porn and proclaim ever so loudly and ever so incessantly that you are. You all better deeply examine your conscience and turn your ways to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the laws of God.
Do you remember thou shalt not kill and yet you support a clearly illegal war, the death of 2700 of our troops and the death of 100,000+ Iraqis' and Afghanis'.
I could go on and on and on as could 99% of the readers of Salon.com and 241 million americans but you get the idea and if you don't you never will.
For the sake of full disclosure, I am an independant swing voter, a humanist who believes that taxpayer dollars should be spent on the taxpayer not welfare for corporations, and I am a Catholic.
What in the name of all that is holy are you???
You need to rise above your baser instincts and give peace and legal elections a chance.

No spam please.
I apologize to all for the length and for including my own personal religious content but Parent and the other 59 million of them need to hear another point of view. All they ever seem to listen to is themselves.
Peace to all and hopefully our beloved America will rise above their hate, divisivness and intolerance.
