"Dominate religious focus" should probably be "predominantly religious focus" or something similar. Otherwise, great list. k & r

It's not my list, I've just seen it passed around on Twitter. Otherwise, I'd fix it in a heartbeat.

No matter how they want to spin it, our medicine is not socialized.

they all seem to have the same goals just a different title for their authoritarian master who won't hesitate to smite them if they step out of line.

when it comes to god, I'm taking a wait and see attitude. faith is just a word. religion is an abusive tool used by control freaks on the 99%. and, oh yeah, you haven't left yet?

Maybe they can all join up and get a free close up tour of the middle east - including Iran.

Same deity, but without Jesus, the hippy, telling everyone about peace and love. Islam is just what they're looking for, I think.

will not allow that. This is a Democracy and as such freedom abounds. Now if they might think that they want to live in a Theocracy or as such, then there is plenty of other countries on this planet that will welcome them there. Iran anyone.

I agree that "dominate" with "predominately," though. Also, the apostrophe doesn't belong in "tattoos."

un-American, because of their attitude towards this Democracy. They really do advocate-No Freedom.
So, if all of these people want out of this Democracy in which America is all about, pack your bags and don't worry about saying -bye. Just leave US freedom loving People alone and go to any other Country that fits your ideology of what Government should be, like Iran, or if you really want small or limited Government, try Somalia, no gun control there!?!?

Indeed, The Somali 'pirates' are, in effect, privateers ... since they operate with the effective sanction of the Somali government.

Educational note: A 'privateer' was merely a pirate operating with a Letter of Marque ... authorization by some government to prey upon that country's 'enemies.'

Everyone in Iran must serve 2 years in the military, no exceptions. Teabaggers are all talk, but when it actually comes to putting their own ass on the line... they are the first to find an excuse to get out of it.
