Removing the twibberish, we are left with this:
communism = atheism. We are one Nation under God.
This is a fine example of the difficulties — some inherent — that afflict the capitalist Judeo-Christian patriotic position — that weird...

That's phall-acious!
A lot of people try to make a moral argument in favor of eating meat by appealing to human biology or human evolution. They’ll say humans are biological omnivores, that eating meat is just a fulfillment of our biological nature. (Never mind the animals’ suffering and loss.)

auntieangry: pulling the nice bits off the roast duck (apologies vegans and ducks everywhere) and realising I am lucky to have such riches

New Obama regulations provoke lobbyist "fury" →
General rule: When corporate lobbyists are furious, the rest of us should be thrilled.
