I would like to think we’re better than that… …but I worry that we’re not. I don’t even know if we can stop it in the face of the money and influence of the big media companies. Though that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Adam Savage on SOPA: “We’re better than that” James sez, “MythBuster . . . → Read More: I would like to think we’re better than that… 
If you’re a member of one of the two predominant political parties in this country then a good guess can be made as to which television programs you like to watch.

This pretty much boils it down to its real essence:
All the talk of Reagan is funny when you consider the man could never be elected in today’s political climate. He’d be too liberal for them. Hell, he raised taxes 11 times along with increasing the debt ceiling 18 times. And let’s . . . → Read More: The last Republican presidential debate in 45 seconds. 
Being an atheist brings with it a certain amount of… disapproval… by the general public. It’s something that I, and many other atheists, have mentioned on more than one occasion. Polls regularly show that atheists are less electable to public office than Muslims and are often ranked as having the lowest approval ratings.
