95% of Americans profess a religious faith.


Lar, I think it is 99.99%, so it's even more super duper true.

Congratulations, you have entered Larry-land, where it's OK to tell Daniel that he's as dumb as a rock because Larry views it as an unhappy fact.

Get back to me when you manage to learn that facts can also be insults.


I was about to mention to you that you are fully aware that Daniel is dumb as a rock, but I then noticed that you have conceded the point...

Hey Jeffrey - have you gone over to the Fruitcake Channel and mentioned to them how they have the Democrat bitter, resentful shtick down pat also?

No?

That would mean then that since around 35% of americans identify themselves as liberals, 34.99% of them profess a religious viewpoint as well.

One can only assume that Obama is their Messiah?

Can't be the one the "religious right" is professing a belief in, since that would make them .... just..... like..... us....

No Lar, just 2% of America identify as liberals.
And that's shrinking every day since we all read your posts.

98% are conservative Christians, just like you.

Opps, it's probaby 99% by now.

Anyone who looks at Palin and comes away thinking they've met a dumb person is pretty stupid themselves.. she's quite intelligent.

I'll accept "ignorant" if it makes you feel better.

Many times. I am merely over here now. Obama is barely the lesser of two evils. I think he is very inexperienced, lied about his association with Wright, and no great shakes. I wanted Bloomberg, or failing that Hillary. If McCain had gone centrist and picked Liberman or Romney I was going to vote for him. But instead McCain picked an unqualified ignorant fundie xenophobic joke of a hick for VP to appeal to the ignorant GOP "base", forcing me back to the Dems.

Ah, you're letting your NY snobbery come out again, Jeffrey.

Whether or not McCain wins this election, Palin is the New Ronald Reagan.

If there's anything left of the country 4 years from now, get ready for this "ignorant fundie" to be President.

Because Obama will be impeached within 2 years.

But I will say it is not an insult, any more than what you talk about doing to one of those truckloads of 18 year old women who keep throwing themselves at you.

Here's another mystery: Joe Conason. Now here's a guy who actually has some impressive-sounding reportorial credentials. I can't recall what they are but I remember him talking about them (and talking about them and talking about them) and I remember thinking they were more impressive than I thought they would be. Regardless, pretty much nobody ever heard of him until Bill Clinton came along (of course, the same thing can and is said about me).

Conason made a name for himself defending Bill Clinton by attacking the people who attacked Bill Clinton. No matter what Bill Clinton did or said it didn't matter because the other guys were worse. Conason always claims he's doing real reporting, just-the-facts variety. That's fine, and I'm sure it's true. But it seems the only facts he ever comes back with are the ones best suited to help Bill Clinton. He's like Yosemite Sam as a castaway in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Stuck on an island with nothing to eat but coconuts, Sam makes coconut alfredo, coconut à l'orange, coconut fricassee, coconut hash, etc. The only difference is that Yosemite Sam eventually gets fed up and yells "I hate coconuts!" But Conason's appetite for creating Clinton-defending concoctions is inexhaustible.

Why Joe is like this I don't know. He does seem like a generally grumpy, sit-in-the-dark and throw-whiskey-bottles-at-late-night-reruns-of-Hardball kind of guy. And it's got to be a lonely business always, always, always being so, so right.

Looks like Joe has found his new (high) horse. Interesting that he thinks anyone who is not sure human activities are causing global warming, that is, anybody who ain't got that old time religion (as preached by the Most High Priest of the Evangelical Church of Global Warming, Rev. Gore) is an idiot. Yes, it really must be a lonely business always, always, always being so, so right.

Maybe we could rephrase that a little, and see if you still feel the same way.

Is it religion to believe that the earth is round?

How about the notion that humans breathe oxygen?

Those are too easy for you? How about evolution?

Still too easy? How about the Big Bang theory?

So exactly where does something move from pure science to religion? Where do you draw your line, Senor High Horse?

Oh, I so need to quote that, and save a link to it!!!

In any real Republican primary, where she didn't have the built-in advantage of running as Vice President, Sarah Palin would get spit out farther and more easily than a watermelon seed.

Assuming Obama wins ... and I still don't believe that's going to happen ... the man to watch on the Republican side in 2012 is Bobby Jindal, Jolly's friend. Or maybe Tim Pawlenty, depending on how the cards play out. Or even Rudy, if he gets a high-powered position in the McCain Administration. Or maybe someone new. But really, Sarah Palin? Not a prayer.

Well, Larry, to give you your due, there's a WaPost commentator from the left side who agrees with you.

Quote:
 
The over-the-moon reaction by conservative commentators and activists to Sarah Palin's debate performance puzzled me -- until I came up with a hypothesis to explain the phenomenon. Tell me if you think I'm right or wrong: For "movement" conservatives, the vice-presidential debate was less about 2008 than about 2012 and beyond.

Honestly, it was bizarre to hear intelligent, informed conservatives sing rhapsodies over a performance that was long on spunk but woefully short on substance. When Palin tried to answer Gwen Ifill's questions, as she did on the financial bailout, she got lost in the weeds. So she basically ignored the questions and retreated to her talking points -- embellished with enough mugging, eye-rolling, winking, smirking and all-around folksiness to choke a mule, or a moose. One candidate on that stage clearly had command of the great issues of our time. One didn't.

Palin did well, though, when the subject turned to energy. I didn't agree with her "Drill, baby, drill!" prescription for energy independence, because I think it can't possible work, but she did come across as if she knew what she was talking about.

It's not that conservatives heard a different debate. It's that they were focused on a different election cycle. The conservative movement is looking for its next Ronald Reagan -- its next charismatic leader with game-changing communication skills, bedrock conservative principles and, well, barracuda-like political instincts. Some on the right believe they may have found that leader in Palin. Smart conservative political analysts aren't under the illusion that Palin can turn this election around; only John McCain can do that, if he can figure out how. But remember that the "movement" conservatives' embrace of McCain is based on pragmatism, not passion. He's just not their guy.

Palin, they suspect, may be their gal. She wowed them in Minneapolis -- but then faltered so badly in her interviews with Katie Couric that conservatives wondered if she really had the right stuff. Thursday night, they liked what they saw. Especially heartening for them, I think, was the fact that while she didn't know beans about most of the issues, her facility and comfort talking about energy suggests that when she has time to get familiar with other issues she'll learn them too.

Under my scenario, for ideological conservatives it will be a pity if McCain loses to Barack Obama but not a disaster. If that happens, I can pretty much guarantee that Sarah Palin will be back four years from now. Somewhere, the "Palin 2012" bumper stickers are probably already being printed.

What Larry is referring to, is the recent Gallup poll on faith in America. His 95% quote was pretty close to the mark.

It’s this kind of arrogance, condescension and snobbishness that will make a victory, if it is to come, so much more satisfying.
