And neither the papers nor broadcast nor cable media devote the coverage these grisly facts demand because the American public is at once uninvolved and bored by them. THAT I believe, I believe, I BELIEVE! And I believe it’s shameful, the foolishness so many, so readily believe.

 

And I believe that Voltaire was right: “He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity.”

PS — As a matter of interest, I would sincerely appreciate anyone being able to provide me with (A.) just one truly positive and/or Christian tenet claimed by conservatives that does not also characterize liberals; (B) can any “conservative” apprise me of the only member of either the current House or Senate who has been awarded the Medal of Honor, and tell me that person’s party affiliation and philosophical orientation; and (C) would any “conservative” and/or Christian inform me of the moral behind the Parable of the Good Samaritan.” 

     See, I think all that “conservative” propaganda is nothing but flung excreta that’s been swallowed so often the ignorant fools in the herd actually believe some of it is all of it true.

An "Old Army Vet" and liberal, qua liberal, with a passion for open inquiry in a neverending quest for truth unpoisoned by religious superstitions. Per Voltaire: "He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity."
