When Atheists Attack

While I am not a Palin supporter, I found this article to be an angry, sensationalistic, exaggerated, unfounded, subjective, irrational personal attack. As a democrat I was embarrassed.
In my opinion this anger should be directed at Barack Obama for making the perilous error of putting Biden on the ticket instead of Hillary. When Biden himself says Hillary might have been a better candidate, and he contradicts the Obama campaign regularly, that is a problem.
I don't think McCain every thought Palin had the credentials Hillary does. However, his selection was successful, because Palin is a constant reminder of Obama's terrible judgement of not selecting Hillary.
Let's give a chance for Palin to conduct interviews, debates, press conferences, etc. to prove herself, or not. She hasn't done many interviews yet, and it will be a problem if that continues, but let's see what happens. Is she a reformer who can separate political policy from personal and religious views? Stay tuned.

Atheist's simply do not believe in god's or anything supernatural. You ask what is the point of being moral if you don't believe that there is life beyond this one. Kind of a silly thing to say don't you think? Morals do not come from religion or beliefs, they come from observations over periods of time. People thousands of years ago realized that killing someone was not a good thing, because it meant than they too were open for murder. I don't understand why xtians think that they have the only keys to be moral. So if there was no god, are you saying then taht you would rape and kill and steal, just because? Do you really need a magic man in the sky to tell you that those things are wrong?
I have plenty of hope as an atheist. I have hope that my daughter will grow up and have a wonderful life, fall in love, and have children of her own. I have hope that one day science will discover cures for terrible diseases like cancer and ALS. I have lots of hope. I feel sad for you star3, that you will waste your whole life believing in a fairy tale, believing that you will live forever. How arrogant you xtians are!

I too feel that ???the prospects of a Palin administration are far more frightening??? (???When Athiests Attack??? September 20, 2008). I consider what McCain did by announcing Palin as his vice presidential running mate to be as much an act of terrorism as had he strapped on a vest filled with explosives and walked into the White House.

The reckless act of seating a novice where only a highly-skilled political co-pilot should help navigate our country through ever more volatile and complex times is not that much different from putting a child in the pilot???s seat of a packed airbus as it flies through a turbulent storm system.

McCain is NOT a maverick; he is an outlaw.

Bush is a maverick; ever since 9/11 he has been waging an individual rebellion against the US Constitution and any country that has oil worth the blood of our sons and daughters.

McCain lives by his own rules and is throwing the grossly lacking and long-outdated US Constitution???s vice president eligibility requirements in our collective face. Like Burton Alvord, another Arizonan who in 1866 became widely known as the ???Lawman turned Outlaw???, McCain has taken unconscionable liberties with our Constitutional liberties to the breaking point.

Outlaw McCain and the Sundance Kid are now perilously close to winning the most powerful office in the world. Frightening.

Comment: Hey TRAITOR, Obama just wants the "rich" to pay their share, who's crying for a free ride now...A$$HOLE!

I'll let the great Rush Limbaugh school your ignorant ass Harley.....

"Families earning more than $1 million a year saw their federal tax rates drop more sharply than any group in the country as a result of President Bush???s tax cuts, according to a new," according to the Congressional Budget Office. You know what this means? (Raspberry). It means zilch, zero, nada. The rates, which were reduced from 39.6 to 35% have resulted in "the rich" paying an even bigger bite of the total federal tax bill than they were paying when the top rate was 39.6%, which the Times has to begrudgingly admit but deep in the story.

"Though tax cuts for the rich were bigger than those for other groups, the wealthiest families paid a bigger share of total taxes. That is because their incomes have climbed far more rapidly, and the gap between rich and poor has widened..." It has not, and we had the story last week. The gap between rich and poor has remained statistic for a number of years. It's another myth that is out there. But so what if it has? When has it not? Where is the law that says the poor are supposed to be as rich as the rich? Would somebody give me that law of physics or economics or any other law? Somebody explain this to me. These are stupid presumptions made by a bunch of Marxist liberals, all for the purposes of exploiting class envy. Middle income, middle income groups, families in the middle fifth of annual earnings who had average incomes of $56,200 in 2004, saw their average effective tax rate edge down to 2.9% in 2004.


But that's unfair. The rich are only paying 35%. That's not fair. The middle class is getting 2.9%, that's not fair, that's okay, but 35% is unfair?

Thank you Sam Harris for eloquently articulating what many of us think and fear about Sarah Palin. The news media has given too much attention to her showmanship and not enough to her qualifications to run for the second highest office in our nation. Polls show "people like me" (senior citizen, female, caucasian) are enchanted by Palin. I think I should wear a T-shirt stating my opposition to her. I am a strong spiritual believer that God expects us to work for what we believe in so I will do my part to support Obama for president!
