Religion, politcs and other things my momma didn't allow talked about at the dinner table,

If you are offended that I make fun of your particular beliefs feel free to defriend me and don't let the internet door hit where you sit.

I believe in social change and equality.  I believe that the vast majority of people who pay lip service to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party are knuckle dragging neanderthals that shouldn't be allowed to breed without an IQ test.

I believe that there are true Christians out there, but they are few and far inbetween and that if Jesus were to appear today he would be thrown into jail for being a terrorist.

I believe that denying someone the right to love another person, regardless of their gender is a crime against humanity.

I believe that denying someone the right to worship as they choose is another crime against humanity.

I believe that if we do not make changes to our society and our world that we are doomed as a species and we deserve it for being stupid idiots who cannot learn.

I'm really hoping that the in-fighting between the Tea Party and the regular Republicans means that the Dems will keep office a bit longer. 2 years isn't enough time to clean up the mess that percolated for 8 years under Bush.

Did someone complain about you believing *all* Americans should be able to enjoy the freedoms granted in the Constitution, and not just the privileged majority?

I'm going to agree that Sarah Palin is the dumbest dipshit I've ever hear open their mouth, and the loonies who praise her are just that - loonies. I am, however, going to disagree with the "vast majority" of Tea Party supporters (yes, I know you did not use this exact phrasing) are knuckle draggers. Many of them are middle class, well educated white folks - and it scares me how many of my graduating class have flocked to the field, all of whom I hold in great personal respect and know that they really AREN'T that stupid, but I still have to shake my head and wonder WTF happened to them that they are following a Party that claims but does not practice their values.

I'm no longer claiming a Party, except for primaries, but I still find myself on the moderate-to-conservative end of the spectrum. I recently told the SGT, "I'm fairly socially conservative - I just want to conserve privacy and personal freedoms. I don't care who you fuck as long as you aren't hurting or taking advantage of anyone in the process." See, I finally found a wording that covers all of my issues with sex - a 14 year old can consent to sex, but that doesn't mean they aren't being taken advantage of (even by another 14 year old).

However, you know that unless I'm being attacked personally, I don't really care what someone else's politics are (or religion, for that matter). You also know that for the most part, I'm in complete agreement with you.
