As heard on the Daily Show "Liberalism is Dead".
Maybe I missed something in school. I seem to remember liberals being responsible for the emancipation of women and the rise of women's rights. Also emancipation of African Americans. The right to equal pay and opportunity. Seperation of church and state. The internet.

Now conservatives - it's always meant to me old white men sitting around in country clubs tossing pennies to the poor.

So what's wrong with progress?

2. Well our Congresscritters have very slow heartbeats.
Because most of them just roll over and grease up for the Bushites.

3. Wasn't that quote from a clip of "Justice Sunday"?
It was said by a preacher. He said liberalism is dead, the "conservatives" are in the majority, let the church rise!

Don't take it to heart. They've lost touch with reality.

4. Yes, that was the one. It's just nice to hear others say these people
are nuts. My whole life since 2001 has been a science fiction movie. I hear people say things and just can't believe people can believe such crap. So it's nice to hear from the "real" choir.

5. I've come to the realization that a lot of churches these days are
nothing more than corporations & some are focused only on the mighty dollar. It seems they've come to realize that their businesses are more profitable when the sheep are full of fear.

We're the enemy & they're preaching hate to keep us divided.

So much for "love thy neighbor" & "false witnessing".

It's deplorable.
