  1. You're lumping the Soviet Union together with the Inquisition and Islamic terrorists? Think about that statement long and hard there mate. Secondly, do not put Atheism together with Christianity, Islam, Buddhism or anything else. Atheism is not a religion, no more than bald is a hair style or black is a colour. Atheism is not inherently leftist in nature. Humanism and atheism have always been rejected in the US for the longest time because they're automatically linked with socialism or communism, two words that are associated with 'evil'. I don't know if you're a theist yourself but the Soviet Union didn't directly look down upon spirituality, what they looked down upon and crushed quite severely was the political power wielded by organized religion, whatever religion that might be. But it did not spread disbelief in some higher power. Islam is one of the most violent religions, in that it's penalty for apostasy is death. No other major religion has such a price to pay if you decide leave it. On another note, what's wrong with big government? You need a strong government in order to keep companies and corporations in check. A strong government is required in order to properly provide for it's people. Obama might not be the ray of light everyone has been waiting for, but he's certainly got the ball rolling. I agree with Orogun01 in that he inherited a LOT of crap from the previous administration. Besides, I find it very funny that whenever a republican president is in charge, conservatives always say 'well he's our president and we must follow as he says'. Going so far as to support 'big' government invervention, espionage and passing legislation that infringes on personal liberty, freedom of speech and privacy. On the other hand, if a democratic president is in office, then they immediately call it the apocalypse, brand him a nazi and start running around like hysterical loons, raving about how big government is going to take everything away from them. >.> Give me a break, they're damn hypocrites. Everyone simply roots for their own team, why can't we all just be grown up and admit it?
