IHS :: HNN :: Straw Diction – Straw Man’s Little Brother
This is a good article that continues the discussion of the misuse of theory and believe when religious people try to discredit science.

Congress Has a Way of Making Witnesses Speak: Its Own Jail - New York Times

Congress Has a Way of Making Witnesses Speak: Its Own Jail - New York Times
Okay, Congress can impeach and, as it turns out, imprison those who are in contempt of Congress. So, why is the president/vp still in office and why are the people they ordered not to cooperate in jail? Congress has lost that little thing we call a spine. It's either that or they are so fucking corrupt that they just don't care because they will probably still get reelected. What is the public to do? Well, anybody can start articles of impeachment. Now, whether or not it gets past the first person is another story. But at least it goes on record. You can find more about that at impeachforpeace.org.
The stupidity of all this bullshit makes my brain hurt.

Bush: "It's the sovereign right of Iran to have civilian nuclear power"

A Corporate Mediocracy: Bush: "It's the sovereign right of Iran to have civilian nuclear power"
Ok. The evil bastard admitted it himself. This goes to show that the mass media can NOT be trusted to present the truth.
The full transcript from the ABC News website

The statement is near the bottom of the page and IS in full context.
It is obvious that he simply wants to start another war! It's not about their nuclear program! He just wants more war!

How stupid is the DMCA?

It is this stupid.

Pro Libertate: The "New Police Professionalism": Serious Christians Need Not Apply

Pro Libertate: The "New Police Professionalism": Serious Christians Need Not Apply
While I am NOT sympathetic to x-ians getting canned for their moral fiber, I do hate injustice in any form. Of course, this is another case of a x-ian throwing in the persecuted x-ian card. However, despite that argument, this is really about this cop getting fired for doing his job. Literally. He was protecting and serving. Basically, this old frail man was smacking his woman around. So, the po-po show up to arrest him. Okay. This old man was going to his car carrying his keys and a cup of coffee. Ooooh, dangerous. Out of nowhere, this cop's partner tackles this old man and asks this cop to taser this old frail man, who was not resisting arrest in any way. Well, this cop wouldn't do it. It was not just against his moral fiber religiously, but also he was thinking about the US constitution, and THE DEPARTMENTS OWN REGULATIONS. That's right, he was following the rules of his own department! He didn't believe in excessive force! What a concept! Finally a cop that does the right thing and he gets fired for it! Cheers to the cop and a big 'FUCK YOU' to the police department he worked for!

The reason for the season

Ahhh, x-mas: that wonderful season of hypocrisy for most of the civilized world!
'Tis the season when most people give more to charities and act all sweet and caring. Then you go to the store and they fight you for that last have-to-have-for-the-kid toy and about run you over with their car on your way home all while shouting not-so-jolly four-letter words. Then they go home to their family and friends and talk and sing about the "real" reason for the season which is their beloved baby jesus. Well, fuck baby jesus! Why? Because the story of baby jesus isn't even original! That's right! The most beloved story in all of christianity isn't original! Here is one MAJOR reason: The Egyptian god Horus. The stories of Horus and jesus are almost identical and Horus' story was centuries before the supposed baby jesus existed!
----> Jesus as a reincarnation of Horus
----> Jesus as a reincarnation of Mithra
That's right! The stories of Jesus and the Persian deity Mithra are almost identical as well!
And if you count that the New Testament was ordered by Constantine, the odds for the x-mas story of baby jesus being true are slim and next to negative aleph-null.
Your baby jesus had nothing to do with December 25. Two other deities claimed it before him. Also, if you read your fucking bible, the circumstances described in the x-mas stories show that he would've been born in Summer and nowhere in the bible does it mention December or December 25. Throw that bible away or burn it. It's worthless!
So, seasons greetings and happy winter solstice!
So, I'll just stick with "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Winter Solstice!"

I am so sick of seeing this kind of article! I seriously don't get it. Do US republicans and religious folk want a second Dark Ages? Both types of people are actively trying to suppress science and reason! Guess what? Humans have already tried societies dominated by religion! What did it get us? The Dark Ages? It was a horrible period of stagnant thought and no science advancement. But, for some reason, those two kinds of people want to undo about 600 years of science and return to that point of ignorant bliss. Next thing you know they will be challenging the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, the freezing point of water, or how babies are made! How far will they go? I really don't want to find out! Religion needs to die! It breeds nothing good! The best countries to live in, with regards to tolerance, public health, happiness, FREEDOM, etc., are the least religious or atheist. The countries that trail those are all religious. The more religious, the worse it is. Wake up sheeple!!!
