**There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them.- Michael Moore** [|For More of Michael]

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania... **And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations..." - Barack Obama** [|Obama and Wright] "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war." -Ann Coulter [|Saddam's downfall] ** “…a people amongst whom religion and law were almost identical, and in whose character both were so thoroughly interfused, that the mildest and the severest acts of public discipline were alike made venerable and awful.” – From Nathaniel Hawthorne’s //The Scarlet Letter// ** “The alliance which religion contracts with political powers must needs be onerous to itself; since it does not require their assistance to live, and by giving them its assistance it may be exposed to decay.” – From Alexis de Tocqueville’s //Democracy in America// The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies. ~Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe v. Wade, 22 January 1973 ** “Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.” -Gandhi **
 * //“The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet.” –Mark Twain//**
