Whoa... dude.

So I was at work, stumbling through teh intertubez (thanks, stumbleupon) and came across this conservative blog.

Please don't get me wrong. My parents, and I love them, are conservatives who probably would never ever vote for a Democrat ever. I have friends who are conservatives (seriously! Check my facebook friends!), but this blog just seems completely out of left field. Basically, they're saying that President Obama's plan for community service will serve to make a new Hitler Youth.

Why are they so afraid? Why is it that conservatives think we all want to make them into us?

More importantly, how can we get people like this to talk and listen to us? Have we really gotten that bad in America that we think that anyone who disagrees with us wants to nuke the country?

Voting for the Beast

So I found this on the Guardian (a newspaper based in London) this morning. I guess I'm a bit flabbergasted, so I wanted to share this ridiculous piece of religious paranoia here...

If you're going to make decisions based on the Bible, shouldn't you follow the passages that give you something concrete to do? Like the ones about living in righteousness, or the ones about giving what you have to the poor, or hell, the ones about not eating dairy and meat together? I just don't understand those people who use the most inscrutable part of the Bible as a guidebook. Not a fan.

And to clarify, I'm still voting for Senator Obama, because he's a step in the right direction, and the stuff about him being the apocalyptic nonsense some odd Christians spout is a bunch of nonsense.
