Simple. We established beyond any doubt that Jesus would not vote for the public option.

Didn't he chase out the money-lenders thus angering the banking community.

He turned water into wine angering the conservative religious anti-booze right.

He provided fish for everyone angering the agricultural conservative block.

He didn't prosecute the prostitute thus endearing himself to the liberal left and he was against war thus losing the support of the military right.

He never married, never dated, and hung out with 12 other guys all the time, with strongly indicates he was a homosexual.

There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus was a liberal Democrat and would easily support a public option.

I never expected Winter to know much about insurance, but I expected him to know his bible.

What a simply terrible thing to say.

You're glad I escaped? You are not. You would be happy as hell, and feel totally "vindicated" had I had a stroke last night. Who are you fooling? Me? The rest of this board? Get a freakin clue!

The neo-cons on this board ... Winter, Freddie, and their followers are probably organizing a trip now to show up at my house to burn a cross on my lawn. I have no doubt they see that as "god's work" at least as much as Paradigm's "crocodile tears" that YOUR god didn't reign down his wrath on me for daring to disagree with you folks... but you sure hope like hell that YOUR god does the wrath thing on me (and others like me... man, especially gays!) It would make your day!

You neo-cons are a piece of work. You clowns make all this patriotic noise about freedom of this and freedom of that, but let someone dare disagree with YOUR religion... let someone say they don't believe Jesus ever lived or if he did he was gay or whatever... and you all go bat-s--t.

Hey, with luck your Huckabee guy will run again, and maybe this time he can get ALL the Christians to support him, and when he's elected President he will put all the Christians to work building Camp Huckawitz's all over the country.

I have no doubt the largest one will be in rural Georgia, although rural Alabama might out-bid the peach state for it, similar to how they got the Benz plant.

I know the Jews and Hindus, gays, and illegals will be toast, but what will be interesting is what your policy will be to blacks and Hispanics and liberals. A lot of them (like maybe all) are Christian... so what is more important to you folks... religion or race? If the Southern voting block dominates, it will be race. But in the West and plains states, I think the religion will trump race.

Hey, here is a solution. You guys are always touting state's rights. Leave it up to each state as to whom you're going to round up and put in box cars and send to your "re-education" camps?

The United Christian States of America... I can see the bumper sticker now on most of your pickups (just under the gun-rack): "UCSA... finishing what Germany started." Freddie and the rest of you guys are going to be in pig-s--t heaven.

Question: You wonder why guys like me own a gun and have a motto of "Never Again!" Are we paranoid?

When Paradigm and his pals decide that they don't want to wait for their god's wrath and decide to speed things up and do it themselves (along the lines of what their parents and grandparents "accomplished" with lynchings, church bombings, and murders between 1900 and 1965,) you will know the answer.

Perhaps so. Just keep in mind that if California needs help in making those selections and in determining the locations of their camps and military control districts, that I have repeatedly offered my services.

Governor General of the San Francisco Military Control District. Yeh, that sounds good.

I have always felt that one of the drawbacks of democracy is that you have to put up with morons, let them vote, etc.

Maybe a benevolent dictatorship is more the way to go...

Al clearly you have access to some good weed out there in Cali LOL

True, but there used to be a certain primordial balance that would exist out there on the Serengetti Plains where there would always be stupid people voting but when one fell below a certain threshold and was too stupid and lazy to vote they never showed up at the polls, thankfully. The Acorns of the world now have changed all that where they give you a McDonalds Happy Meal if you will register to vote and then another one when you vote (have to vote again to get fries with it). So increasingly all the saprophytes are showing up to vote.

What scares the bejesus out of me is when all these techno-hip clowns like Obama want to do everything online and start proposing that states move toward being able to vote online. What a diaster that will be and it will all be done in the name of increasing voter participation. Again, stupidity and laziness and the fact that one might be too busy watching soap operas or doing a crack deal used to be natural barriers to such people voting. Not so in the future, just click on the person you want to vote for and then you will be back watching Opera in two minutes or less. Oh. Let's get really hip and make sure that you can use Twitter to vote. Ewwww man, like how relevant.

Scarry! And it is coming. Just a matter of time. (North Koreans will probably hack the system too and put their choice in power but I digress).

Good dope doesn't compare to having god on your side. I was in the audience here in Newport in 1963. It was true then, it is true now.

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.
