I thought Liberals were too smart to believe in a god.
You think God is the counterweight to evil? I always thought it was good versus evil and that the devil is the counterweight to God.

Well, if the issue is an idea... as opposed to an issue of a magazine, or a political issue,... but be my guess if you want to see it as a trademark for y'all... it is a part of your trade after all.

My boss, who I prudently do not engage in political discussions with, was spouting off during a lull in work the other day and he declared "Republicans are evil". He actually seems to believe that Republicans get their cue from Beelzebub himself.
