Oh looky here, Bryan Fischer, on his radio show, takes note of how many dislikes Perry's video has...and it all goes downhill from there. So… He believes using the dislike button on YouTube is an assault on Freedom of Speech? Have you not encountered the "any disagreement or criticism of my views is inherently censorship and oppression" mindset before? Its quite widespread.

I've tried using logic and reasoning, but it wasn't very effective. ...I'll shut-up.

I’ve seen it, just never applied to something as innocuous as the Dislike button before.

These people, N. De Plume, will not stop until they have total political control. Beating them in elections will do nothing. Smart people in America are doomed to share a country with Teabaggers for as long as America exists, which, if the Teabaggers get their way, may not be that long.

Of course, you're using teabaggers as a term for all groups of selfish/ignorant people.

If the nuts are all voted out, naturally they would have less influence & it'd be easier to put the kabosh on the fundiness in this country. The Occupy Movement gives me hope, just stay positive & don't give up the fight!

The Tea Party is the distillation of everything that is wrong with this country. Since the leaders of the Tea Party are the 1% and since the 1% openly fund the Tea Party, I'm somewhat justified in including them in it.

Authoritarians, right wingers, fundies, crazy fucks, stupids, I'm sure you can think of other words.

From what I have seen, they are even more dirt poor than I am. Yet they seem to be heading in the exact opposite of their best interest as fast as they can. The TP is a group of assholes. But not all groups of assholes are Tea Tards.

You know, for all the fundies' talk about humans being flawed and fallen, they have a remarkable inability to accept that they themselves are imperfect and wrong about many things.

Newsflash, Rick: You being Christian has almost nothing to do with this. It’s you being an Asshole that is drawing the criticism. Learn to tell the difference.
