I have heard enough of her and that guy with the Young Jerks. I don’t even want to listen. Zero integrity. And i just do not believe they are as stupid as one might be led to believe.

Thanks for the missing link. Enco.

Cogito ergo Enco.

Well, thanks, but all I did was merely pass along the Atheist Republic link. It’s all that I can do in my position.

Armin and friends are the ones to thank more for doing happy warrior work by monitoring Iran’s uprising for hours at a time. As a Canadian of Iranian descent, Armin…[Read more]
