fjp5: #Obama communism = atheism. We are one Nation under God http://bit.l/V6NQj #Nancy Pelosi #AARP #Parents #Health care #Public option

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 ideological stew passionately asserted by the most muddled-minded people in this already crazy America of ours. Let’s just punch this out in bullet form:

  • For one thing, communism does not equal atheism. Do you know what “equals” means? Even the mind-numbed belief that communism entails atheism would, at least, give you a 0.00000000000001% chance of being correct.
  • According to the guidebook of your personal insanity (the Bible™), Nation worship is idolatrous. You may be aware that this is prohibited by the Ten Commandments. You are such a bad Judeo-Christian.
  • “One Nation” is inherently socialistic. Heck, ”one Nation” is redundant — “Nation” already covers it. It always amazes me that someone can trumpet “community” while reviling anything perceived to be remotely “communist.”

Of course, I haven’t even taken on the universalized stupidity of nation and god worship. Baby steps, people.
