"Believing... that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their Legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State." --Thomas Jefferson to Danbury Baptists, 1802. ME 16:281

xzombie? ---["But don’t worry, you're safe.
We do not kill those who speak against our religion.
However, perhaps you can name a religion that does?"]

- I take it you missed that whole inquisition thing and the burning witches? Oh and Jim Jones, and --- well -- lets just say there are a lot of Christians that do a lot of un-Christian things...

Libsheep - the Tea Party is just the new face of the old PNAC based Neocon agenda. It may not have started that way, but it has been culled and molded into just another Right wingnut clueless group of Neocon panderers. Financing - Same people who financed previous neocon activities. Heroes - Hannity, Palin, Beck, Rush, Fox News -- More Neocon heroes, Like DUH!... Agenda - To put oppressive government restrictions upon individuals while reducing "Big" government oversight on corporations (that also oppress the citizens). Any Tea party member that thinks they aren't pushing a Neocon agenda, are either delusional, or too dumb to see that they are puppets of bigger plans by the rich and powerful. That would be Banks, insurance companies, and other monopoly moneychangers that got those golden parachutes and tax supported bailouts that Bush started you know..! Come voting time, the Tea Party will vote GOP...

Ok - He has just thrown away his 18 year career for this stupid garbage.. I certainly hope it was worth it for him to make a silly point without any proof. Even if Obama wasn't qualified to be President, the war was started under Bush, and is still ongoing military campaign so this man has just become a deserter. I forsee at minimum, dishonorable discharge and or prison time. However as insane as he is, he probably has another way out f this mess since that section-8 is looking pretty good...

*sings*

- Ohhh the yellow(1) schools of Texas - are spewing crud you see, Because those rightwing nutjobs want to rewrite history -- They excluded Thomas Jefferson(2), a liberal they claim is he, and so a founding father should be written out by thee'

They will add Rebubli-heroes and fill the pages full, and claim it's fair and balanced, as long as it's their bull. They will brainwash all their children to speak as if they were just one, in praise of ol' Rush Limbaugh, and God, and Rove, and guns...

They will claim the Christian mantle, yet ignore the words of Christ, with the U.S. Constitution,.. and our rights will pay the price. It will be a day of glory as they conquer all the lands(3), and the hollow words of freedom will be crushed by their own hands...(4)

Helping fellow man means nothing to that corporation gang.. They only want conservative to be thy holy name. They don't want debates, discussions, there will be no compromise... They just want to fill them textbooks with slanted all out lies..

Oh the yellow rose of Texas -- how sad you are to be... Your rightwing propaganda makes a smelly mess you see. You've forsaken all your honor, and all your dignity, and soon your reputation will be smeared in HISTORY...!

-=-=-

1) a reference to yellow Journalism --
2) Thomas Jefferson (the man who coined the phrase "Separation of Church and State" has been excluded - in favor of various religious figures in the textbooks
3) The textbooks are to be marketed outside of Texas as well.. (coming to a school near you)
4) various parts of the Bill of Rights and Constitution are being re-interpreted

Definitely the Mocha Glazed brownie cups -

So - Like Data from S.T. Next Gen..
Are they anatomically correct?

God doesn't hate Phelps, 0
but I bet the Devil loves him...

God doesn't hate...?
After all - Hate is the devils playground..

Now what exctly is Phelps true church???

I think it's time to re-read the book of Matthew..

True - there are no "Advanced AI" controls in the MQ-9, Just "Low Level AI", however there are designs for "Advanced AI" functions in future autonomous military equipment (including an AI tank). But lets face it folks, Low Level AI weapons have been used since WW2. Any weapon that has a guidance system is considered a "low level computer AI". There were even several remote controlled weapons in WW2, including the German's Goliath Tracked Mine, and the Soviet radio controled "TeleTank". There are many AI military programs and vehichles out there. This includes ACER, ARTS, BigDog, Dassault nEUROn, Dragon Runner, MATILDA, MULE, R-Gator, Ripsaw MS1, RAAS, SUGV, Syrano, Train Cable UAV (TCUAV) Is a combination of three concepts :Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs), Unmanned ground vehicle (UGVs), Train. iRobot Warrior, Excalibur unmanned aerial vehicle. But AI is still at early stages of development. What I fear far more than a rogue robotic system, is that an enemy hacker may hack our autonomous weapons systems and use our own remote weapons against us.

Yikes! - It's a Trap!...

This is not a promotion of free market "Capitalism", it is clearly a promotion of fascism style "Corporatism!"...!

Capitalism really needs the oversight protections in place to create a level playing field for the business markets. This is so monopolies don't form, therefore shutting out mom and pop (middle class) stores and businesses. The huge mega-corps don't want capitalism, they want exclusive (dictator) control on the markets so that only they make the profits, and so no one else can take a dime from their exclusive un-regulated markets.

These same "Chamber of Commerce" mega corporations are the very same people who lobbyed Bush, for the great bailout when their exclusive market control bubble burst with the housing/insurance fiascos.

On top of that, the mega importers (like Walmart) involved with the Chamber of Commerce, would like nothing better than to NOT pay their fair share of taxes and tariffs and thus put the tax burden on the average Joe American.

This is definitely a hidden agenda style, "Paid for by Big Business Lobbyist", super financed propaganda campaign.

Don't fall for it! It's a Trap!...
