God Sucks, & You Just Might Too

This (left) is not the same as this (right), no matter what you've been hearing.









Christopher (Do you think he hates his "Christian" name?) Hitchens exercises his right to free speech (while, ironically, being paid for it) in today's Slate. And we couldn't have typed it better ourselves. Really.

Discussing Article VI of our glorious Constitution:

Along with the establishment clause of the First Amendment, and the predecessor-language of the Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom, it forms part of the chief glory of the first-ever constitution that guaranteed religious liberty, religious pluralism, and the freedom to be left alone by priests and rabbis and mullahs and other characters.

However, what Article VI does not do, and was never intended to do, is deny me the right to say, as loudly as I may choose, that I will on no account vote for a smirking hick like Mike Huckabee, who is an unusually stupid primate but who does not have the elementary intelligence to recognize the fact that this is what he is.
[...] And the right of Huckabee to win the election and fill the White House with morons like himself is unaffected by my expression of an opinion.
Be sure to check the bullet list of wacky candidate statements & memberships. Wish he'd identified which candidate said or identified w/ what. Hey, maybe we could have typed it better!
