The anonymous comments section of any major media site or popular blog will be so crammed with bile and bickering, accusation and pule, hatred and sneer you can’t help but feel violently disappointed by the shocking lack of basic human kindness and respect, much less a sense of positivism or perspective.

Glenn, the library isn’t free. It’s paid for with tax money. Free public libraries are the result of the progressive movement to communally share books. The first public library was the Boston public library in 1854. Its statement of purpose: “every citizen has the right to access community owned resources.” Community owned? That sounds just like communism! You’re a communist! It’s like saying diet plans can’t help you people, I learned that by dropping weigh at Weight Watchers.

— Jon Stewart in response to Glenn Beck saying he “educated himself by going to the library.” (via soupsoup) (via bringtheruckuss) (via stfuconservatives) (via enemyswim)

THAT'S A LAW OF LOGIC

  • Phil Donahue: Now, you do not accept the existence of God, of a divine prime mover?
  • Ayn Rand: No.
  • Phil Donahue: And the reason you don't is because you can't prove that such an entity or being or energy exists.
  • Ayn Rand: I can't, nor can anyone else. There is no proof.
  • Phil Donahue: There is no proof, so therefore, you've concluded that there isn't one.
  • Ayn Rand: That's right.
  • Phil Donahue: Um, you can't prove there isn't.
  • Ayn Rand: You are never called upon to prove a negative. That's a law of logic.

If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

The right in this country has got this methology pinned down that being religious means you’re good. It doesn’t mean you’re good, it means you go to church.
