Maybe we need to start a lefty, atheist/agnostic militia. Not all of us on this side are pacifists, after all.

I've always had that suspicion, but I won't assume. That's certainly a theory that fits along with him being batshit insane. Either way, he's full of shit and he makes a lot of money for it.

Haha! Yeah... it's either that or he's simply batshit insane. Same outcome.

This was attained with the election of Dubya so there is no where to go but down. When we have a "bat-shit crazy" president we will look back on Bush the Moron as "the good old days."

I am a supporter of a social democratic, secular America. People like him will ruin my dream.

Something like this will only fuel people like Glenn Beck to convince people to hate free thinking people (because they will think we are all violent....even though religion often causes a lot of violence).

Ugh, please no pictures of that f*cker. I am practically never prone to violence. Seeing his face is a special exception.

Hooray! Glenn Beck is still a moron!

Why does it have to be left-wing. I'd gladly head up the right-wing militia
