Real Americans?

Some Christian Conservatives believe that for the first time in US history they are facing the prospect of becoming a minority. As this mythical day nears, their fear and insecurity is expressed in an ugly abstract paranoia of government , religious intolerance, and outright xenophobia.  Blinded by these perceived social and moral threats they cannot see that their true enemies are not those they fear but rather those that lead them to that fear. They do not seem to realize it is their media anointed messiahs that have snuffed the candles and left them afraid in the dark. 


Anyone that tells you to find compassion with anger or generosity with greed; seek knowledge with arrogance or wisdom with censorship; embrace freedom with fascism or liberty with bigotry; is neither prophet nor friend. You cannot love America by hating Americans.

what's the symbol for atheism, and why isn't it there? Don't you mean:

F - I - C - T - I - O - N
