I learned some tidbits yesterday about what I believe to be the true stories that The Great Car Dealer Wars and Decoration Day are based on. I'll be sharing those with you post Thanksgiving Holidays.

The U.S. is an equal opportunity hater. We hate foreigners and our own citizens equally.

U.S. is most unfriendly country to visitors, survey says:

Atheists Out of the Closet:

Famous atheist Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion is #5 on Amazon.com. Sam Harris is right up there with his books The End of Faith and Letters to a Christian Nation. They aren’t selling in numbers anywhere approaching the top religious books, but they are best sellers. When was the last time two books promoting atheism were best sellers at about the same time?

I think the hidden benefit of Islamic extremism is that it freed the atheists from their closets. The old mindset in the United States was that almost any religion was good, and atheism was bad. But since 9/11, atheism has moved above Islam in the rankings, at least in the minds of Christians and Jews in the United States."
