I fear the longest word I ever memorized
I never knew until now what antidisestablishmentarianism meant.

Now that I know it is the agenda of people like Mitt Romney and Huckster I'm scared of that word. I do not want to nor will I ever live in a Christian State.

Separation of church and state was meant to be absolute but Mr. Romney feels his gods have a place in my government.

2. You DO know about Hillary's participation in a dominonist fundie prayer group, right?
If she'll pander to them for votes (just like Mittens and Huckleberry Hound) then doesn't it stand to reason that she will continue pandering to them while in office to ensure re-election (also like the Mittens and Huckleberry Hound).

3. Are you aware of Hillary's attending the same Jesus worshipping sessions as Rumsfeld in the Senate?
have you read the Mother Jones article on Hillary? it's pretty scary the level that she mixes her own personal religious zeal with her role as a protector of the 1st amendment.

If I were to grade these folks on a scale measuring separate of church and state, with 100 being complete merger of church and state,

Huckabee 95
Romney 99
Hillary 85

** why don't we all vote for Kucinich who really doesn't give a rat's ass moment toward christianity which comprises a measely one third of the world's population and even that is a SWAG.

10. Interest groups on both sides of the issues disagree with your assessment.
From OnTheIssues:
Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record.
Rated 0% by the Christian Coalition: an anti-family voting record.

From VoteSmart:
Senator Clinton supported the interests of the Planned Parenthood 100 percent in 2006.
Senator Clinton supported the interests of the National Right to Life Committee 0 percent in 2005-2006.
Senator Clinton supported the interests of the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State 100 percent in 2006.
Senator Clinton supported the interests of the American Conservative Union 8 percent in 2006.
Senator Clinton supported the interests of the American Family Association 0 percent in 2005-2006.

11. Kucinich went to Seminary
His first campaign pamplet was entitled a Prayer to avoid War. The notion Kucinich is secular is absurd.

12. What's wrong with praying to avoid war?
That's hardly the same as the dominionist agenda. And definitely the opposite of the deluded primate who claims God told him to attack two different countries. I doubt even the most devout (for lack of better word) atheists among us would have a problem with Dennis praying for peace (as long as he didn't ask them to join in)

13. Nothing but the poster claimed this was true
** why don't we all vote for Kucinich who really doesn't give a rat's ass moment toward christianity which comprises a measely one third of the world's population and even that is a SWAG.

5. Don't worry, your word isn't quite applicable.
America does not currently have an established church. If it did, and they were vowing not to see it disestablished, that would apply.

As it stands, perhaps they're establishmentarians.

8. But Mitt's church was established in America.
And that should count for something, right?
:sarcasm:

6. It would be fair if the other 2000 gods were to share the
same time as Mitt's. Maybe we can make room in that public square he always alludes to? Imagine all those symbols to represnt those gods, it would get crowded in that square quickly, then the faith people hold so high would suddenly lose much of its import because they would be praying to symbols and not to any ideas as much. So goes the path of those that lose it.

9. You mean the other gods whom Elohim gave planets of their own?
Not sure what the exact number is, but it's gotta be at least 2000 by now, I would think?
