Simon Critchley-The Opacity of Obama... His Political Genius
Just wondering. If OBAMA is not Liberal then what is he?
>> ^westy:
Lol amerces media is conservative lol and if you think obama is liberal well it just goose to show how brainwashed you are.
What can an atheist possibly celebrate?
I agree with Darkhand. Completely self-serving. Though this video doesn't have the kind of self-defeating ironic tone that many anti-religious videos do (as well as pro-religious ones), it still comes off as supremely holier than thou-ish. Its like what Simon Critchley said about liberalism and irony... dont remember the quote off-hand, but the point is that ironic negation of the other is an argumentative stance that refuses to acknowledge the complexity of any stance other than its own. As an atheist and a liberal, I always try to steer away from this kind of attitude in dealing with people who have different opinions. I try not to have that knowing laugh that aurorinthedesert has when she talks about Jesus' love, as if she is aware of something that we aren't.
