Ronald Reagan invented all that “city upon a hill” stuff? I thought it was Jesus, but I guess those two characters are easy to confuse. And, apparently, the Sermon on the Mount is one of those things that conservative Christianists tend to ignore.

Deer Skortz,

Please kindly stop using logic to ironically analyze the best of our esteemed “thinkiers.” It upsets us. The cognitive dissonance hurts our brains.

Sincerely,
Elves

Thank you, Elvis. Things will change around here.

You do know that “Shining City” is a not an actual city, don’t you?

It’s Ronald Regan’s metaphor for America, a wondrous place that can be seen for thousands of miles, and attracts people from all over the world, who want freedom and prosperity.

Maybe you wouldn’t be so angry, if you actually understood what you were criticising.

As Jon Stewart noted, what they consider tyranny is simply LOSING!

Get another beer, Brendan. They are loud but as Ben Gleck said, we surround them. They are shrinking in numbers just as they are increasing in volume. When we are old(er) fellows this country will be majority non-white. And I’m guessing the non-whites won’t be big fans of the all-white republican party, should it even exist at that time. Deep breaths…

You could have picked much worse examples. I don’t have the energy or degree of inebriation for snark or outrage. I am just sad. Thanks for contributing to my sadness. I don’t even feel like getting another beer…
