The Succubus of Liberty (Ann Coulter)went off on Liberals yesterday, basically by saying Dems strongarm Repubs by outing their gays. "Let go, let God ... Oops ? I'm talking to liberals! Let go, let Spongebob ...". Funny lil' succubus. Personally, I think she's hedging for the position of Gannon's main hag. Good for her. What she fails to understand is...everything.
History Lesson O' dee Day Oh!
It is hard to believe that George Bush has ever read the works of George Orwell, but he seems, somehow, to have grasped a few Orwellian precepts. The lesson the President has learned best--and certainly the one that has been the most useful to him--is the axiom that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. One of his Administration's current favorites is the whopper about America having been founded on Christian principles. Our nation was founded not on Christian principles but on Enlightenment ones. God only entered the picture as a very minor player, and Jesus Christ was conspicuously absent.
Our Constitution makes no mention whatever of God. The omission was too obvious to have been anything but deliberate, in spite of Alexander Hamilton's flippant responses when asked about it: According to one account, he said that the new nation was not in need of "foreign aid"; according to another, he simply said "we forgot." But as Hamilton's biographer Ron Chernow points out, Hamilton never forgot anything important.
If America is to be what our forefathers intended, then shouldn't we be tolerant and accepting of all religions and not govern by the Bible? The forefathers knew this, I know this, any educated Joe Blow from [insert city here] knows this.
