The post-fact universe has arrived

Because he says so and there's literally no reason not to take his word for it.

Heck, I would not even call the US a christian nation any more, but if you want to that is fine with me.

How does a dead beat dad's religion have any effect on the child from half a planet away?

Cranking up the steam roller.

Talk about derailing a thread, it was his stepfather who was Muslim.

I am not saying that a human cannot change their views as they mature, but usually christianity is levelled at the start of the spectrum.

I can see Eisenhower as fitting the neocon bill, more than I can see Obama as a christian.

Plus his Dad was a Muslim.

The President's father was raised in a Muslim family, but he became an Atheist long before he met Barack Jr's mother.

If I recall correctly, the Obama family was actually Christian before his grandfather converted to Islam.

Which is of course, even worse.

That would be a funny poll. Ask a bunch of right-wing nutcases who they hate more: atheists or Muslims.

We should do that.

I thought he was an animalist ? Thus the eating of said animals (dogs, tigers, and pigs) absorbing there animal powers.

The man who authorized overthrowing the government of Iran for the benefit of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company?

The man who created, via executive order, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare?

There is a huge difference between an imperialist and a NeoCon. Ike was an imperialist like many before him. Teddy Roosevelt was an imperialist but that doesn't make him a horrible leader, just like Eisenhower.

Establishing the department of Health, Welfare, and Education is the exact opposite of what a NeoCon would do. These are all institutions that help the general population. All NeoCon's want to do is deregulate the financial industry and suppress the public for the gain of big business.

Probably wouldn't apply in the UK. I would say we have an even split of athiests between left and right.

Neo-conservatives don't care about domestic policy. They are more then happy for a minor welfare state to be run at home whilst they bomb the rest of the world into democracy.
