1. "Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here"
Not only are they portraying themselves as victims under attack, they continue the metaphor with a highly offensive cartoon of a religious war complete with castles and cannons.

3. It's tough having control of all three branches of the federal gov't.
That minority keeps trying to have a say!

4. All four branches are basically controlled.
The fourth is the media, which willy-nilly has become one. Even though there's not complete control, there's now enough organized pressure to impact every aspect of the civil society.

5. Yes, you are right.
The 4th branch that's supposed to be the ultimate check & balance by keeping us informed about what the government is truly up to.

Instead we get fed a steady diet of Laci, Chandra, Michael, sharks, etc.

10. The Radio!!!!
Remember? T'was the alternative medium. Now it's 90% xian fanatics', Cler Channel (!!!) and the like. Even so-called "rock" stations exercise daily censorship (e.g. Pink Floyd's "... goody goody bull ****".

8. Hey, they got their "token black guy", what more do you want?
People who question the Republicans being a "white, Christian" party should be directed to pages like that.

13. Not one women
in the group. They sure are defensive. They sure seem scared. They sure have a lot of money to wage such an intense media onslaught. The creation myth is the foundation of their Biblical 'right' to power. That God is a man. That God made Adam first and that woman was born of man and that she is therefore to be subjugated. That subjugation is the foundation of marriage, therefore the family, and therefore society, as we know it. They have a huge investment in preserving the myth. And the more science savvy we become the more they have to defend the fairy tale version of how life began and why women are the original sinners. I wonder if reason will ever overcome the darkness. I wonder if they realize that no one here wants to destroy the family, marriage or society. We just hate their impudence for believing they 'own' the concept of marriage, family, and society and it is only acceptable under their design.
