Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

That is no surprise, considering the mentality.
The perpetrators of this current debacle have it too easy.
They don't have to worry about outwitting their opponents.
They are just going to bury us under a flood of idiocy.
Oh, wow. How to lie with pictures and numbers...
I agree with Rita, it is too easy to barrage us all with massive idiocy that becomes overwhelming and futile to oppose.
There is a photo of a bus that (I assume) brought some teabaggers to DC and probably served as the organizing HQ during the protest. The bus is plastered with pictures of Terri Schiavo, a dead elderly person in an open coffin, and the burning WTC on 9/11. There are signs on it along the lines of No Obamacare, It's your money!, Grandma/pa dies!, and something about freedom (of course) with the pic of 9/11.
It does not make sense at all, but it combines all the strong emotional triggers setting this particular crowd on fire.
I think this bus really exemplifies the nature of this protest and the idiocy unfolding around us. Wonder which right-wing organization came up with this idea. The people who run these organizations, like FreedomWorks, for example, are no dummies. Yet they purposely dumb down their message and the way it's communicated to incite rage in the undereducated and angry people to get them protesting on behalf of their own agenda (which is to keep their profits intact). It's vile, really.
