Seems like a fair comment to me. Pretty smart comic I would say, hit the money, I mean nail right on the head.

Slightly off topic but the reverend seems to be drawn very strangely.

The un-kept hair and beard, dark shadows under his eyes.

Very weird.

Wonderful thought provoking post.

I confess over the last decade or so of running the spectrum of political belief and moral dilemma finally settling upon the belief that I don’t like where we took the country, I don’t like the dirtying of our name and hope for a return to more idealistic intellectual revolution.

I hate to turn this into a political discussion that will give a perception of my leanings (which would probably be wrong), but I don’t feel creative enough to find better words.

That said I am more and more disgusted by the Right’s ability to say and do disparaging things while claiming that they are being wronged on all fronts.

America sits at a point in history with the least religious ne spiritual base in our history. We are no longer the church goers that our parents and grandparents were. We grew up to question what did not make sense, or did not reside in our hearts. We believe faith is something you feel, not something you are told to feel. We (hopefully, at least for me) decided to follow our hearts and try and ignore guilt instilled. Perhaps we decided to hold true to the Golden Rule as opposed to Do as I say and not as I do.

Thomas Jefferson said "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

I would like to add a caveat that "Controversy breeds thought and mild offence refreshes beliefs."

We need our Jesters. We need those in power to be tested, again and again. But we need it done intelligently. Want to change abortion laws? Then change minds. Don’t murder a man in what you refer to as the “House of God.”

The Right is running scared. The Moral Majority of the Eighties is neither. They have been backed into a corner and see only the wall backing them up.

That being said, my devils advocate gene reminds me I'm not too fond of the ACLU either. :-)

For a moment I was going to add a note to the OP that when I say “You” I am speaking figuratively, then I remembered the post I am replying to and realized this was a thinking mans poster 

You took about 30 minutes of my life (breaks included) but I have to thank you.

I felt bad for Letterman. I understand his insecurities and fears and applaud him for trying to right a wrong at least ex post facto.

I was moved by the audience laughing at Dave at the height of his remorseful intro. They were there for the funny; Dave was there for the penance. Mr. Hicks would have liked that.

it's not cowardly.

Interesting. Against the morals of Islam perhaps.
Perhaps no one were in any plane crashes on 911.
And money lender and insurance companies took over.

Oh mister money lender can I develop Tesla technology.

How about a fund to conquer the Illuminati.

Give freely.
