Ben Stein - Abandoning values

[slycordinator]

Reminds me of this little debate, when Stein called Ron Paul an anti-semite.

I can't take Stein seriously.

Maybe it was further along in the exchange but I hear him say "This is the same antisemitic argument we've been hearing..." which isn't the same as saying "You are an anti-Semite."

Although he's full of shit either way...

I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

What the fuck kind of America is he living in?  Last time I checked, Christians were still on the beneficial side of religious favoritism in this country. 

Ah well, Stein isn't a guy to take very seriously regardless.

  Well, given that he's Jewish, I don't think that any "religious favoritism" shown to Christians is relevant (if it even existed).

Same thing, right? 



Sloppy memory on my part, sorry about that, got him confused somehow.  I probably should have read the whole thing to refresh. 

Edit:  Holy shit.  The first line.  I should probably just stop posting now.

  Forgot that he mentioned it in the very first line, but yeah.  Oh well...
