Thread Name: BS: Odd ideas
Subject: RE: BS: Odd ideas
I just wish the news media would question politicians and religious leaders when they say things that are obviously illogical or ignorant.

Things like, "I'm being discriminated against by being forced to live in a society where I don't get to discriminate against other people".

Or, "Our Founding Fathers, the ones who wrote the first Amendment to the Constitution, were Christian. Therefore we should have laws that force people to live according to Christian ideas."

Or someone who believes that "Creation Science" isn't an oxymoron and ought to be taught along with biology in science classes.

Or, "In the United States the majority rules."

Or someone who eats ham sandwiches and wears poly-cotton blends proudly and hatefully claiming that gay marriage ought to be illegal because The Bible says homosexuality is a sin.

Or someone who passes laws that are obviously unconstitutional and then rails against "activist judges" when the laws are struck down. Who was the activist here?
