1. Why do you associate anti-religion with liberalism?
2. Cancer is not a virus.
3. Read your own sentence (and I use the term loosely), then read anything written by Hitchens, and tell me who is more obnoxious.

not me - I wasn't even born then.

The "islam" threat is manufactured to cause fear in the population.

I don't buy that. Try telling it to most people living in Europe. And I don't believe that the counter-jihad movement has been fooled or are in on the deception. They are demonstrably too well informed.

I listen to what all these candidates have to say on various topics, and some of it I find myself cheering and some I find distasteful. It can get very confusing. But then I come around and realize that most of it is an minor distraction compared to the answer to that one big question: "What are you going to do about Islam?". I don't care if you slept around, got bad grades, or made a bit of money on insider deals. pro-life, pro-choice, gay straight, so what? I only care that you are going to take the fight those lunatics who want to send the whole planet back into the dark ages - because if you don't, nothing else will matter. When I think about the prospects for this world infected by Islam, it makes me feel guilty to have bought 3 kids into it. Listening to NEWT I'm pretty confident he's better informed and more committed to do something about that death cult than any of the others.

I can only speak for myself, but I always treat others as I expect to be treated. I have respect for my neighbor and I bring my kids up to know right from wrong. I don't need a religion to make make sure I do those things. Do you think that you are the kind of person that, if one day you had a revelation that your religion was false, you would no longer have a moral code? Would you start treating people like dirt without a belief in God to keep you on track?

I'd expect comments like that from the left.

Not meaning to be pedantic, but as it is an article about gaffes you might want to dot the i's and cross the t's

"Of course it was not intercontinental at all as it was fully contained inside but one country".. you mean, "inside one continent".

Intercontinental and transcontinental refer to continents and international and transnational refer to countries of course.

Then you are using the wrong word. If we are to have meaningful dialogue, we have to agree on the meaning of words we use. Some people agree with you on just about everything except that there is a god. They identify themselves as atheists on that one point. If you believe someone to be evil, call them evil, not atheist.

As you probably guessed from a previous post, I am an atheist. I can't help it. You don't get to choose what you believe about the mechanisms that bought us and our universe into being, especially if you have a thirst for knowledge and read science books. There are plenty of right leaning atheists who see the despicable behavior of the left for what it is. www.theatheistconservative.com unreligiousright.blogspot.com etc.

Regarding morals, here is just one, albeit simplified view that does not rely on a supernatural creator: "morally good things pertain to increases in the well-being of conscious creatures". Nothing wrong with that.

I don't vilify anyone for their beliefs. I do get pretty angry when they carry out immoral actions as a consequence of those beliefs. Muslims for example carry out a lot of immoral actions because evil is woven into the fabric of the book they live by. Christians used to carry out evil actions in the name of their religion too. That has for the most part changed.

Atheism is not an alternative religion. That would be like calling "off" an alternative TV channel. In fact, atheism doesn't really need a label as it is the default state we are born in, before indoctrination by adults. So I think you would do yourself and the conservative movement a favor by using words for the meanings most people agree on.

The trend is pretty clear. In the near future all digital content will be delivered free. The content creators are going to have to find more imaginative ways to bring in money. Merchandising and caching in on brands is a good start, but resisting this trend is futile.
