3. You must be some sort of COMMUNIST if you want Americans to remember their real history.

Why do you hate America?

9. EXCELLENT.............

And yes I knew all of this, BUT it never hurts to spread it widely. Plus I like the last couple of paragraphs.

10. the 50's were scary times....much like now.

[Curmudgeoness]

12. I have also been seeing the parallels.

I often wonder how the US survived the 50's....kind of like I worry about surviving these times.

11. Republicans believe...

...that God is responsible for everything and I mean everything. God must be given His due credit. Another example is that science is the work of Satan and is pure bunk. GOP stands for "God's Official Party."

[Curmudgeoness]

13. Well, science is Satan's work, until

they get cancer, or heart disease, or some other treatable disease that will kill them when not treated. Then, all of a sudden, THAT science is coming from god. I love hypocrisy.

14. I always wonder why office holders have to be sworn in

on a Bible. I read Article 6, and it seems so clear to me. Why am I the only one who is offended by this? I never hear outrage, or even one official refusing to do it.
