<p>i am the atheist conservative. I am very rarely angry.</p>
<p>Well, let me put it this way: a smart and dedicated atheist presidential nominee would get destroyed in the polls, while an idiotic Christian would win two terms. Why shouldn’t they be angry?</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone who’s truly an idiot would stand a chance at the presidency – you have to be at least fairly smart to campaign in such a way as to win people over. Campaigning takes a lot of time and effort; it’s not easy to get millions of people to write down your name.</p>
<p>(Sure, you can act stupid. But that’s often just a part of the ploy, used so people think of you as a “common man.” Apparently George Bush’s early speeches were a lot more intelligent-sounding than his later ones…)</p>

<p>Neither does unfettered capitalism. The American economy is a hybrid of capitalistic and socialistic elements.</p>
<p>Who counters a Marx quote that doesn’t directly pertain to communism with a quote (that isn’t really a quote) about how much Communism sucks? What are you, five?</p>

<p>Arise, ye workers from yer slumbers!
Arise, ye prisoners of want!
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant!
Away with all ye superstitions,
Servile masses, arise, arise!
Let’s change henceforth the old traditions
And spurn the dust to win the prize!</p>
<p>–Traditional folk song</p>
<p>Actually, it’s more like – Doesn’t it seem that right-wing, evangelical Christians are always angry?</p>
<p>Why would you resurrect this thread? Why?</p>
