1. My Response to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

This reminds me of a debate I got in with my British Literature teacher at a Catholic High School. We were on the topic of Native Americans and I pointed out how I thought it was wrong the way we took their land and in the end 90% of them died due to us (despite much was from diseases we brought over and not direct murders).

He then started mocking me claiming that I am unpatriotic and I think we should have never come here to begin with. I said a true patriot disagrees with his country when he believes it is wrong rather than taking its side on everything, and indeed you are correct - I do think that we should have never come to this continent.

At that he started yelling his lungs out saying that Native Americans were brutal to each other so it didn't matter that we killed them. I sighed and pointed out calmly that two wrongs don't make a right and he almost exploded.

So yeah.. I know where Richard is coming from on this one. When people are wrong and they cannot defend themselves they flip out. That is why Bill O'reilly is a crazy freak while Keith Olbermann is calm and collected.

You see, this is why I refuse to associate myself with the Democratic party. There is a wing of the Democratic party that is very similar to the radical wing of the Republican party in terms of religiosity. After this election the atheists should make a party and force the Democrats to buy us back through pandering in the same manner they do to religious bigots... so that they will stand no chance of winning unless they support us.

Ahh, kind of like The Portable Atheist except not pertaining particularly to gawd.

5. Christopher Hitchens on Real Time with Bill Maher

Lol

Maher does remind me of JWs when he talks about medicine, but overall I think he is a funny, intelligent guy.

Chris was pretty funny on this, and I really liked the other three guys as well. Good stuff, I hope as time guys on we see more and more of this.
