Is it just my imagination, or have I seen whitey blame tyrannical government for the occasional absence of a nativity scene on government property, lack or loudspeaker-amplified prayer in public schools, and the occasional taking down of the Ten Commandments in a courtroom?

More or less the same thing Mahmoud claimed. "The tyrannical government of the United States doesn't do everything that my religion wants it to do." Same dopey stuff all around.

So what? They both have a point.

I'm tired of the government taking my money in order to prop up tyrannical governments (like in Saudi Arabia) and killing thousands of innocent people half way around the world - often times in the middle of the night.

I'm also tired of the government taking my money to give to other Americans too lazy to work for their own money. And placing suffocating regulations on American entrepreneurs.

You don't have to buy into the us versus them false dichotomy that is the basis of our political system. You can actually choose to accept ideas from both sides, and reject ideas from both sides - at the same time. That's not being unprincipled, it's being thoughtful and independent-minded.

Now this has gone WAY over to the PT side. I might have to RA myself.
