1. Fox news is the biggest threat to our nation since the Civil War!
I really believe that!


Did they bother to mention that the day chosen for the outing is the day after Muslin religious observances end?

I can't bother to listen, sorry, I can't stand the Fixed Noise propaganda.

2. Okay, I'm not going to watch the vid, but they should criticize ANY day that is offered in a
way that openly favors religion of any sort. I am appalled that Six Flags is doing this, as I would be if Six Flags had christian day or jewish day or mormon day. Just saying, even a broken watch is right sometimes.

5. Six Flags is not the government and they can have any kind of day they want,
Muslim Day, Jewish Day or Gay Pride Day.

What's it to you?

6. I just disapprove and am critical of it. Period. I don't care whether gov't or not, it's
entirely un-American, imo.

8. How about a 'Disabled Children Day'? Is that un-American?
Or '4-H Club Day'? How, exactly, would they be any different?

I'm as atheistic as they come, and I have no problem with a private business organizing their business around a religion, if that's what they want to do.

Does it also bother you that Chik-fil-A is owned by a Christian, and closes all its stores on Sunday? Is that 'un-American'? The only thing that bothers me about it is sometimes I get a real craving for waffle-fries on Sunday. Other than that, it's THEIR business.

9. Making money is American

The point of these "group days" - and many are not religious at all - is that it motivates paying customers to show up. They can narrowcast advertise and utilize social channels to give people one more reason/excuse/motivation to go to the park.

I think Christians are still "boycotting" over Disney gay days.

4. What say you that we amend the Constitution . . .
. . . to allow for stripping right wing propagandists posing as journalists of their citizenship?

Of course, I would never propose such a thing. However, any one who watches that clip would have more evidence to accuse Mr. Kaufmann of being a sectarian bigot that Mr. Kaufmann presents that the sponsoring organization of this event financed the September 11 attacks.

I'll bet the brass at FoxNews knows this as well as they know they shouldn't trust information from Andrew Breitbart, but they probably care about as much in either case.

7. We really can not expect a foreigner like Murdoch to understand
the principles of our nation can we?

10. Absolutely

When our local German club puts on Oktoberfest, the Mosque across the street charges 5 bucks for overflow parking.

That, to me, has America written all over it.
