Hello there.
I have noticed a strange change in ATS over the last few weeks..
When did ATS become the new Neo-Con hangout?
It seems like every other thread is one of the following:
1. Obama the antichrist
2. Obama the terrorist
3. Obama dictatorship
4. Extremely long post of bible passages about why we need to bow down to Jesus
5. Posts about "you cant pry my guns from my cold dead hands"
6. Posts about Obama the Zionist
etc. etc. etc.
I like this site. Some good ideas, free thinkers, and off the wall ideas.
But this is strange. Its like every bible thumpin, gun totin republican migrated here.
Well, welcome to ATS i guess
If I see another post from a religious nut with pages upon pages of random bible quotes than quite ironically dont mean anything out of context and in
truth demonstrate nothing but a lack of free thinking then Im gonna puke
And no, I dont want to take your guns.
Maybe Obama was right, maybe Americans due turn to guns and religion when they are insecure..
And I didnt even vote for the guy..
Heres hoping we get some fun and free thinking back in ATS

Heh!! I've been saying this, or something very similar, for a good year or so. Unfortunately, ATS seems to have atracted more than it's fair share
of right-wing crazies and bible thumping wierdos.
Why?
I'm not really sure. But I for one have never taken it lying down - this site is way too cool to see it run down and ruined by obstreperous,
intellectually challenged hayseeds...
Keep up the good work.

Thx
On a side note, I was watching a discussion among Republican party leaders earlier this week and they were discussing why they lost the election. I
too am a Republican (in concept.. not what is has become lately)
They were trying to figure out how their party got aligned with the bible thumping, militia forming crazies that buy stuff from an army surplus stores
and run around looking for signs of the apocalypse. The consensus was that the general public is showing a shift in consciousness and that these
groups are now so "off center" that it is political suicide to be seen as allied with them.
It seems that the Republican party is gonna see some major shifts in the next few years.
Just a guess, but many of these Neo-Cons are going to find themselves with no party that "wants" them in the next election.
Oh well, at least they got their guns..
