Allahu akbar.

I was just thinking of this. Creeps me out.

Basically Rubio and Romney's speeches boiled down to five things:

  • America is awesome
  • Obama sucks
  • America is a Christian nation
  • I have a family, look how much I love them
  • Our parents lived hard lives.

What killed it for me, though, were the honest-to-goodness unironic "USA" chants.

edit: and Clint Eastwood's speech was just embarrasing.

This is about the same as Mitt Romney's presidential campaign claiming Obama is "waging a war on religion" to invoke negative feedback towards the Obama Administration. God is the easy way out of any political situation.

Atheist Conservative, checking in...

[–]CrispyPudding 5 points6 points ago

does it suck for you to live in a two party democracy?

just curious, as i'm not american, what does conservative mean for you? for most people it means christian right. i'm really not that deep into us-american politics and as i see it the two parties are pretty much the same.

your liberals are against war but don't stop the war when they are in the gouvernment. your conservatives are against abortion but they don't ban abortion when they are in the gouvernment.

btw. your "liberals" would be considered very conservative where i live.

I love my country, no matter how many parties are involved. I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

The two parties you see in Washington are very much the same. Anybody that sees it differently is deluded or a child.

From my perspective, our "conservatives" are extremely liberal, but just when it comes to giving my money to other people.
