You know - Sometimes I listen to Fox News,
and they will blatantly - disgustingly make grossly contradictory statements
just one after the other - to a point where…I can't even follow
I literally - cannot predict where they stand on issues…because it's so arbitrary…
and yet - all republicans do it - so there must be some functioning architecture
I just can't figure it out - I'm beginning to think it might be SUPER INSIDIOUS
like - white supremacy or some other sort of fascist design…
I just know that it doesn't make sense.
It's like - they swear by The Fountainhead - but only from the view of the bad guy…
It's gotta be a windup...

“One of the major difficulties democrats experienced in their relationship with the republican party was learning to distinguish between them pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because they couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for them, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that they actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. .”

Ofcourse, there's no reason not to think that.
Seriously, in what way aren't republicans racists at least in comparison with democrats?, and if thats the case.. then with a two bit system there's always going to be a more racist notion and a less racist notion. The race discussion is central regardless.
To me it really is as simple as that. Get a third option and then stuff can happen.

Basically all the quotes on this page works lol
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/zaphod-beeblebrox
like
“Hey this is terrific!" a Republican said. "Someone down there is trying to kill us!”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
“Much to his annoyance, a thought popped into his mind. It was very clear and very distinct, and he had now come to recognize these thoughts for what they were. His instinct was to resist them.”
― Douglas Adams
“If I ever meet myself,' said Republican, 'I'll hit myself so hard I won't know what's hit me.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
“If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Vishes your comments come across as though you definitively know that you used to be an atheist and thats wrong, and you're now older (by 2 years) and wiser and you're on the correct path.
I think it may just be the inherent bias that comes with explaining your point of view then following it up with "just be open minded and do your own research".
Also if the theory of evolution has so many questions and holes in the theory why isn't it more widely discussed? The idea of the big bang as a theory of the start of the universe is equally ingrained into our culture but its not hard to find credible theories opposing that theory. Evolution and the start of the universe are two hot topics in science because of the conflicts with religion.. the only reason I see why evolution has very little opposition compared to the big bang theory is because its more accurate and widely accepted. I guess widely accepted isn't a very satisfactory answer but still... its 'widely accepted' in an area that people dedicate their careers and life to.
