Thoughts from the abyss

This is an interesting story about the US drinking age of 21. I agree with the one commenter about age. In this country, at age 18, you’re old enough to choose leaders of our local and federal government, and more importantly, you’re old enough to be enlisted and be drafted to serve in the military. Serving in the military means the possibility of dying for our country, yet you’re not old enough to legally have a beer because you’re not considered responsible enough. Ridiculous.

Wow, someone help us if McCain is elected President of the U.S. I guess according to McCain, the U.S. Constitution established a Christian America where only Christians are fit to lead.

Last time I checked, the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment clearly goes against anything of the sort.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

So according to McCain, the Constitution establishes a Christian nation even though the very first amendment states that no laws respecting establishment of religion can be passed. This guy is not right to lead this country, and is clearly another far right-wing zealot. I hope America doesn’t allow for a third term of Bush-likeness. I love his quote:

I just would–I just feel that that’s an important part of our qualifications to lead.

I guess you have to be Christian to qualify as a leader…

Down at the bottom of the page it stated that McCain contacted the website and stated he would vote for a Muslim if he or she were the best candidate. This would have been after his PR department asked him what he was doing saying things like he did.

Read the entire interview. There was a video on YouTube about it, but they only put the negative aspects in the video instead of the entire video. The transcript shows the entire interview.

Sweet, after a very long day at work, I’m excited by the slightest amusements. The Boondock Saints is one of my most favorite movies. They are finally making a sequel which will be called The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day. Supposedly it’s been picked up by Sony Pictures, but that’s about all that was said on this post.
