Let's see, Tea Partiers are better educated, wealthier, more likely to be married and older than the general population. How does that equate to NASCAR?
Another lefty, poorly conceived sneer shown to be so much brainless hot air.
i've noticed that when something bad happens, the religious right tends to have a knee jerk reaction of saying that god is punishing a certain group because that group did something that god doesn't like.. .
on april 15th (tax day), all of the tea party people got together and had rallies in a lot of the major cities.. on april 17th & 18th, the days that the nascar was supposed to happen, it rained... and rained... and rained... and the races had to be canceled.. .
now, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to conclude that a disproportionately large number of nascar fans are affiliated with the tea party movement.

if you bought into the lie that "millions now living will never die," has the.
realization that you will very likely reach retirement age, settled in your mind just yet?.
for instance, i never looked to see if there was a 401k plan when i was in the jw cult.
I know lots of Witnesses that have made provisions for retirement. I'd say it's a minority that doesn't. I've heard very few that were actually condemnatory of those that did and typically they have fallen into "pretty ignorant generally" category.
Personally I have been in the save and invest mode since I started working.
join former jehovah's witness and watchtower historian richard rawe on his telephone conference call.
his special guest tonight will be dr. jerry bergman, author of the book "jehovah's witnesses and the problem of mental illness".
and former bethelite, joe anderson, barbara anderson's husband.
Bergman is a pathetic, failed buffoon. I don't know why anyone pays any attention to him.
i just saw that on drudge report.. omg.
It's St. Joseph Stalin that Pelosi prays to.
the talk outlines for the summers conventions are only being printed over the next 2 weeks or so.. the finished outlines were ready in the middle of december 2009, however sources that i trust tell me that at least 5 of the talks were returned for last minute rewriting which is highly unusual.
this has held up the printing until now, a delay of over a month.
this is a fact!!.
The reality is that fewer and fewer people pay much attention to the things that they are not presupposed to do anyway. It must be extremely frustrating to the organization to realize that the majorit of Witnesses simply ignore it when they try to crack down on this stuff, maybe a little lip service but that's about it. They've railed against the Net for years, that's worked out real well for them hasn't it.
let the flame wars begin!
liberalism, atheism, male sexual exclusivity linked to iq.
by elizabeth landau, cnnfebruary 26, 2010 5:03 p.m. est(cnn) -- political, religious and sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds.. evolutionary psychologist satoshi kanazawa at the the london school of economics and political science correlated data on these behaviors with iq from a large national u.s. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher iqs.
So you have a guy that has a history of very controversial findings, some of which have been blatantly racist, he uses a pretty funky definition for liberal and conservative, his data is based on a strange age group, and he looks at this through the lense of evolutionary psychology. I'd say this has all the credibility of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Of course the gullible will lap it up and quote it religiously. The real revelation is in who is prepared to swallow this tripe.
this article appeared may 9, 2009 about a rather dubius company the wt partnered with.
notice they are still touting their military connections.
but of speacial interest is how they have been able to bilk investors for 20 years, never producing a return and yet, live high off the hog.
Boring, done to death, bogus. Give it a rest and find a real issue, there are many.

obama, gw bush, clinton: together on haiti .
That making $30 or $40 million a year is a dead give away to idiocy every time.
All you liberal hounds hate and fear Limbaugh because he makes you obviously inadequate.

I know this is a waste of time for someone who gets his information seining through every lefty, anti-American, conspiracy theory whack job web site on the internet but for the edification of others I will make one reply to WAC's request of a demonstration of the 'myths' he continually spouts. He says the CIA started al-Quaeda. Please see the following for a real world reply to his nonsense. Note that I don't quote "right wing" sources.
CNN terrorism analyst Peter Bergen says the notion that Osama bin Laden once worked for the CIA is "simply a folk myth" and that there's no shred of evidence to support such theories.
CNN.com asked users to send questions to Bergen as part of an upcoming documentary, "In the Footsteps of bin Laden." Here are his answers:
“If it's true that bin Laden once worked for the CIA, what makes you so sure that he isn't still?
Anne Busigin, Toronto, Canada
BERGEN: This is one of those things where you cannot put it out of its misery.
The story about bin Laden and the CIA -- that the CIA funded bin Laden or trained bin Laden -- is simply a folk myth. There's no evidence of this. In fact, there are very few things that bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and the U.S. government agree on. They all agree that they didn't have a relationship in the 1980s. And they wouldn't have needed to. Bin Laden had his own money, he was anti-American and he was operating secretly and independently.
The real story here is the CIA didn't really have a clue about who this guy was until 1996 when they set up a unit to really start tracking him.”
Bergen quotes Pakistani Brigadier Mohammad Yousaf, who ran the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Afghan operation between 1983 and 1987:
“It was always galling to the Americans, and I can understand their point of view, that although they paid the piper they could not call the tune. The CIA supported the mujahideen by spending the taxpayers' money, billions of dollars of it over the years, on buying arms, ammunition, and equipment. It was their secret arms procurement branch that was kept busy. It was, however, a cardinal rule of Pakistan's policy that no Americans ever become involved with the distribution of funds or arms once they arrived in the country. No Americans ever trained or had direct contact with the mujahideen, and no American official ever went inside Afghanistan.”
Bin Laden himself has repeatedly denied that he received any American support. “Personally neither I nor my brothers saw any evidence of American help,” bin Laden told British journalist Robert Fisk in 1993. In 1996, Mr. Fisk interviewed bin Laden again. The arch-terrorist was equally adamant: “We were never, at any time, friends of the Americans. We knew that the Americans supported the Jews in Palestine and that they are our enemies.”
There were two entirely separate rebellions against the Soviets, united only by a common communist enemy. One was financed by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states and was composed of Islamic extremists who migrated from across the Muslim world. They called themselves “Arab Afghans.” Bin Laden was among them. When the Saudis agreed to match U.S. contributions dollar-for-dollar, the sheikhs insisted that their funds go exclusively to the “Arab Afghans,” possibly including bin Laden. Meanwhile, U.S. funds went exclusively to the other rebellion, which was composed of native Afghans.
There are reams more that could be shown but this is enough of a waste of time.
