Should idiots be allowed to vote?
   
I'm not talking people we don't agree with, or think are crazy

But plain out, willfully ignorant, no intellectual curiosity, "god/allah/L Ron Hubbard/Ayn Rand said it, I believe it and that settles it" idiots.

Should there be an IQ test? Not a hard one, but one that asks something like "If I were to give you 1 pint of water, and I were to ask you what that would be in the metric system, what would you do?" Basically, what would you do to find out. If the answer is anything other than "Duh - we downt need no commieMETRIK systim" you get to vote. Otherwise, please sterilize your gonads on the way out, thank you very much.

Well considering, you morons scream and cry over having to prove your identity when you vote I can't see you supporting an IQ test for voting rights. Besides most of you goons can't even spell IQ much less pass a test over one.

We voted for some real winners in our long and storied history.

At least you admit that libs put some real "winners" in office. Including our current president.

11. If it keeps idiots like Bachmann from office, then it will be worth it
   
I keed I keed!

Honestly, I would just like to see her die of some very painful form of cancer in her larynx

I understand that carrying so much hate inside you, can lead to cancer, so you Mr Taverner may be the one dying of some painful form of cancer someday.

It wouldn't work anyway. You know Bachmann thinks the metric system is satan's toolbox...

Ohh my bad he was just kidding.  :whatever:

DUmmy Taverner is an intravenous drug addict.
I doubt cancer will have time to work before he checks out.
It does seem a little unfair that such a despicable person will die by sinking into a painless narcotic coma.

If there was any sort of test to vote passed, you would call it racist - just like you call the citizenship test racist - which ironically, is needed before a newcomer to the United States is allowed to vote (unless he or she steals an identity)

Really, the founding fathers believed that only property owners should vote. I only ask that those on the dole should not vote.

I agree. If you are a parasite... ie don't pay taxes you should not be allowed to vote... with the exemption for retired folks that had paid taxes all their life. Gotta have some skin in the game. That is one reason why I support the Fair Tax. Everybody pays. You buy, you pay taxes.

People that actually pay taxes, not payroll taxes, income taxes. I'm all on board. EVERYONE that works pays payrolls taxes, unless they're working for themselves, only about half pay income taxes.

28. You see, despite being an Atheist I would rather have Romney than Bachmann
   
Romney just wants to be president and pose for pictures. It would be a harsh 4 years, but it would be survivable.

Bachmann? She wants a theocracy. Her church at the top, everyone else at the bottom. If you had a chance to kill a WWI corporal named Adolf, would you?

Where do these idiots get the idea that Bachmann is going to install a theocracy?
The worst thing she will do to the DUmmies is end their gravy trains and make them get *gasp* jobs.

I am a bad person

<snip>

Now I know a bunch of you are going to say "Bachmann is not Mengele." And you would be right. Bachmann could barely graduate from law school, and she went to one of those fundie diploma mills where they only have one book. If Bachmann were President, she would assuredly start a theocracy here. And theocracies are just as despotic, just as dangerous, just as deadly, as the Nazis. And I say this as a Jew who knows the true horror the Nazis imposed on the world. I would argue that the Nazis were in fact, a theocracy. First pimping Christianity, and then Hitler's own weird brand of Wagner and Thule Society shit.

Now, I know people change their religious views all the time - but seven Five minutes ? must be a new world record.. Or somebody be telling an untruth - You be the judge...

edit: corrected bad math - Studying primitive potatonomics has detrimental effects.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt Taverner referring to himself as a Jew as contradicting other data, so I went a-hunting.... This is from 2006, so things could have changed, but interesting nonetheless.

FORCED INTO CHURCH!!!! ADVICE!
      

Well, not really. I come from a family where the family biz is religion. My Grandpa was a Dutch Reformed Minister, my Gread-Grandpa was a Dutch Reformed Minister, my brother is a Baptist Minister and my family is tied to a huge Christian Book Empire. Having said that, I'm a Deist at best. I believe there is a God, but our capacity to understand him or her is limited by the fact that we simply can't. Anymore than an aeomeba can understand a wallaby.

Anyway, my grandma (still alive at 95 and an ardent Democrat all those years) REALLY wants us to start going to church, for the kids. For her, a church is not a place of institutional ignorance, racism and republicanism - but where the womens sufferage, abolitionist and civil rights movements sprung from. For her, religion is the moral authority that separates us from monkeys and republicans.

So - I told her yes. So I'm looking for a nice open-minded church. I would love the Unitarians, but Grandma said that wouldn't cut it. I was raised United Methodist, but hate being the only person in the pews. I would never go fundie because, simply put, I hate those people. Hate isn't a strong enough word - I want them expunged from the gene pool.

Anyway - what would you reccomend? And I'd love to hear from our onboard Reverends (Rev Cheesehead especially - I trust ya 100%)

So, Taverner is the TiT of Religion - He is a United Methodist-Diest-Jew-Athiest. Now here is the question - is he a consummate liar, or am I outing a longtime mole ?

I'd settle for a government test. Something easy, like "who is the speaker of the house"? "Who is Joe Biden"? Every time Jay Leno or Sean Hannity do one of those man on the street interviews, the libs, especially the ones in college, always fail, always. But they always seem to know what Brittney Spear's latest hit is and what movie Meagan Fox is in.

33. why don't you just try a different church a week till you find one you like? There is as much (if not more) difference between individual churches than across denominations. You should sample till you find one you're comfortable with.

Meh, who knows ? I just find interest in things like this -

I find people change over time, but usually not so radically. This highlights one of the problems with lying. A liar needs to keep his or her stories straight while remembering what he said, and to who. It leads to mistakes such as these. Sadly, this is also the downfall of many a mole.

And there you have it. There is no way these three 'factoids' jibe.

Can't have a Jewish heritage with the Christian heritage he describes in 2006.
