The bill itself has nothing to do with turning the US into a "theocracy" directly, no. However, the neocon agenda has an will always be to turn the US into a police-state theocracy. This is part of the neocon agenda, and therefor part of turning the US into a theocracy.
Because wanting a democratic republic to be turned into a police-state theocracy is perfectly rational and desirable. Riight. Also, I'm not on the "left" either, which is apparently the only tactic neocons are able to use: accusing anyone that disagrees with their ridiculous mantras to be a "leftist". Pathetic. Grow a brain, you pathetic schill.
That type of cowardice is worse than insanity, by far. At least the madman has an excuse for his ridiculous behavior. I'm glad that there are some people like this willing to sit by and live in a police state, have their homes and lives invaded. More targets for people that actually give a damn about being truly free.
People like you are the reason that the US will soon be a theocracy dedicated to stripping basic human rights from anyone that doesn't agree with it. Thanks.
CreatureComfort, you can't actually expect a neocon to make a rational argument. When presented with anything that defies their narrow view of reality, they'll either ignore it or try to persecute the segment of society responsible. Rationality has no place in their little world of fascist theocratic government.
Good job being an unthinking drone and missing the entire point of every non-insane (by that I mean any by fascist nutjob neocons like yourself) comment in this article. Maybe you should run for President, you'd be the perfect puppet your neocon "gods" (by which I refer to turning the US into a theocracy and denying anyone that's not a religious fanatic their basic human rights).
Quite a bit different in the states. Many places do criminal background checks routinely, and depending on state, will be able to terminate/discriminate solely based on the criminal record. Places that do applications typically have a "have you ever been convicted of a felony?" question, and will usually pass on candidates that answer yes(depending on state).
Exactly. You could have a gem of a software developer on your hands, a titan of problem solving, and you ask him to remember something specific from 10+ years ago. The end result is you get candidates that are gods of rote memorization, but couldn't solve their way out of a logic paper bag.
Nice, you say that they won't bother to get to the root cause, then suggest an already in-use and pointless solution (arresting drug addicts). Arresting drug addicts usually just puts them into prisons that turn them into *real* criminals, instead of people (and yes, contrary to the delusions of a huge segment of the US, people addicted to chemical substances count as people) that need help to stop substance abuse (though I do recognize that most addicts will not bother to help themselves until they've hit rock bottom, but there are some that need a "push" and a push into a federal prison for years on end, where they'll be beaten, raped, murdered or forced to do the same to someone else is NOT a solution to the problem). So, arresting drug addicts is more like a "cause" than a symptom, of further crime and making criminals.
Since when does having a Ph.D. excuse someone from making moronic statements? Also, testifying before a Congress that is little more than a religious/corporate tool isn't much of an accomplishment.
No one is going to read your post n3IVI0, because it screams "I am an ignorant moron, please disregard anything I say." Try returning to grade school before using these scary computers to talk on the internets.
I think the problem is, you're thinking about the religious fanatic (and I am NOT here referring to normal religious people, in any sense whatsoever) group as one that wants to have "their way", but not realizing that "their way" includes MURDERING (by the directive of "God") every person they do not think is "worthy". Clearly this view is absolutely irreconcilable to any sane government system, and must be crushed utterly before it is allowed to destroy the lives of millions of people (which is their end agenda: murdering anyone they do not agree with through a legal system designed to persecute such people, and cow others that would otherwise speak out). Even if it was a plausible that such a group would peacefully separate from the sane people left in the country, their agenda will have not changed, and require them to murder any citizen of another country who does no share their exact beliefs. You can't try to apply rational thinking to their actions, because they are not rational. They view those that disagree with them as direct (not metaphorical) agents of "Satan".

Voting is a great option when the same neocons that are pissing on the consistution just happen to be buddy buddy with the owners of Diebold and ES&S.

Not to mention the chilling fact of deliberately insecure voting terminals courtesy of Dubya's buddies(Diebold *and* ES&S).

Pat Robertson and other insane fanatics happened to the Republican Party.
