Atheists claim to be "free thinkers" and yet they fight for more and more control of every aspect of our lives until there is no freedom left for any of us.
Kind of a contradiction if you ask me.
Why are most catholics a bunch of hard-core persecution-complex hypocrites who want to leave the poor in the gutter to be shat upon by anyone above them, who want to ensure that the poor stay poor and that people who need help never get it, thus turning our nation into a giant gated community of mansions surrounded by ghettos?
Catholics claim to be "people of charity" and yet they fight for less and less assistance to those in the most need of it in every aspect of their lives until the poor have nothing left and all just commit suicide out of despair.
Here's the real kicker, though, nobody asked you anything because nobody wants your opinions or your answers because they're fucking soft-headed spewings of bullshit. Oh wait, sorry, that's insulting to the mongoloids; they at least have some kind of brain function.

That being said, while most atheists I've met don't support Republicans for the reasons I mentioned, there's still enough of a divide between us on economic issues that there are a lot of Libertarians here. I don't agree with their political views on economics, but they can at least usually provide an intelligent basis for those beliefs and I can respect them for that.
Personally, I side with the Democrats but only reluctantly. I want to see a party that's going to be serious about protecting us from abuses by corporate elites and when that party comes around, I'm jumping on board ASAP.
Well, if you vote Democratic this year you are voting for another four years of high unemployment, business failures, mortgage foreclosures, and out of control spending.
But I guess that's ok with you to keep some kid from praying in school.
FUCKING LOL!!! Did you conveniently forget it was the most evangelical-minded, faith-first REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT prior to the current administration that caused us to be in this situation of unemployment, foreclosures, and out of control spending?
I guess not, because that'd require you to have a brain to be aware of things with. I'm even less convinced of this possibility than I am of the existence of god.
