This is why I don't trust the voters. People ignore facts and believe what they want. (looking at you birthers, tea baggers, conservatives, Arizona, etc)

Would you expect anything different from a populace so ignorant that over 70% are Christian?

So 18% of Americans think the sun revolves around the earth. Coincidence?

It is scary when you realize how few people are interested in the truth. I have relatives who believe that dumb stuff. We argue and fight about it but they are determine to believe what they want to.

We only have two political parties in the US

Not anymore. As fair and balanced as it may be, a news network can't be a replacement for a political party.

fair and balanced is a laughable tag line.

I think to get reelected in '12, he can't blatantly denounce religion. But I wouldn't be surprised if he gets reelected, we'll see a more secular Obama.
