Our laws are made for a righteous people; our land founded on the concept of the Almighty. We do not need to turn away from He that gave us this land and delivered us from the evils of tyrants that sought to reign in the powers and influence of God.

This is from a ‘conservative’ website. I can’t believe people still actually believe this crap. God gave us this land?!?! I guess this is why atheism is so appealing to me, it is not dominated by an ‘all powerful’ entity that, in spite of omniscience, grants land to one group of people even though it disenfranchises another. I could be wrong, but last time I checked Anglo Whites stole this land from the true Native American fair and square. (just in case you didn’t catch that last bit, ‘fair and square’ is sarcasm)

Here’s another tidbit I found on the Internet today….


Take Alabama's Rep. Gerald Allen, (R-Cottondale), for example. First he tried to ban gay marriage - but that wasn't enough. Now he's filed a bill to ban public libraries from stocking novels featuring gay characters. "Our culture, how we know it today, is under attack from every angle," he said last week during a press conference to promote his bill - and obviously banning books is the answer. You know, that kinda rings a bell...

I checked, googled the story, and it’s true. Isn’t this the kind of stuff our founding documents are inspired by? The whole idea was to live free from oppression, and I could be wrong, but censorship is a form of oppression as I see it. But then, who am I?

Of course, looking at these two ideas together makes one wonder. It’s kind of ironic, while the ‘founding fathers’ were busy dreaming up the Declaration of Independence, declaring independence from oppression from the king, their armies were busy practicing oppression of their own.
