Here is some quotes from our founding fathers: Thomas Paine From The Age of Reason, pp. 8–9: “I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of....Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and of my own part, I disbelieve them all.” From The Age of Reason: “All natural institutions of churches, whether Jewish

But...but....Reid's campaign slogan in '04 was..."independent...like Nevada" How can you say he's a staunch democrat? (SNICKER!) GRRRRR, I'm still pissed over that one. Most Nevadans was hoping that he would continue talking like that, and would bring the Democrat party back to moderatio

If the election were held this November, he would not come close to being elected against Gore or Kerry. The poll today (even how badly slanted) was not about who would be elected today.

RAAAGH, RAAAGH, RAAAGH, TERRORIST..... RAAAGH, RAAGH, RAAGH.... Ooops, I mean Freedom Fighters. Ohh, and don't forget: "I'm supporting the Troops". Hoping for death, murder, and a terror filled life for millions of Iraqis, just to feel good about your ideological self is just warped.

Reply to A 15 % FLAT TAX in Politics JoeUser Forums

IMHO the flat tax will not work, because it will not be truly flat for long. Everybody loves loopholes. Within one year Congress will have so many tax credits at all level it will be ridicules. Credits for having children, donating to the Boy Scouts, or being in poverty. Do you really think that the ACLU, boy scouts, and churches will not fight for charity deductions? That is their bread and butter.

You should be so proud. You're supporting a war profiteer. Nice. Webster's II: Prof-i-teer: One who makes excessive profits on commodities in short supply.

If a tree falls in the woods and there is the whole Washington press corp there to report it, yet only a hand full of close shot pictures, did it realy happen? Even with the Rita coverage, every news agency has this as a foot note. Even the NY Times, Boston Globe, and LA Times does not have it noted on the front page. It is interesting that the only

If the imbecilic, intolerant left had it's way, atheism would be a requirement to hold public office. LOL, ya, I would like to see the reaction to even one atheist try and hold a high public office (or at least one that will admit it).

They regularly travel through out the country and report things are quite, prosperous and highly stable in the vast majority of the country. There are small regions that have activity, but those ar

Exactly. Most conservative folks have no problem with opting-in to say, prayer. I don't see why it would be so destructive to opt-in to saying "under God". I have a feeling mr Nedow would probably throw a fit about that, too, but I'm not really "on his side" as much as I agree with him on this one point. <BR

The feds should have very little to no say how the school is run. School standards are set by the "state" not the feds.

We don't have the right to tell Prs. Bush not to invoke deity anymore than he has the right to tell us we can't. But we are not stopping Bush from invoking his faith, we are just asking for the Government not to sanction a religion or have us invoke a religion. I have yet to find one supporter
