Re: minuteman project... waco type event???
Ok, first Crosstica, when you get booted off here, its not real smart to come back the next day with a different name without at least changing your trademark turns of phrase, and general sound. This fourm is for posting, not going postal.
So, Let me get this straight, in a time with most states being Red , a time when bigotry towards gays is socially acceptable, a time when there's a major prophaganda machine on television pushing republican christian extremism, a time when the country nearly goes into chaos over the state of florida following the LAW in removing some vegetable's feeding tube , a time when JERRY FALWELL and PAT ROBERTSON have a say in politics, a time when \"activist\" judges get death threats and anyone with an opposing point of view is branded a traitor, a time when \"activist\" judges get death threats and anyo
Ok, I'll take this one in peices. Yes, white christian males are victems, so is everyone else when free speech is curtailed.
So, Let me get this straight, in a time with most states being Red
That is true, however the most populous states are blue, the population is running about fifty fifty as it normally does. That makes it easier to swing a vote by activating specialized voting populations. ,
a time when bigotry towards gays is socially acceptable
When hasn't it been? The vast majority of the population just about everywhere has a thing against gays. The only thing that supresses it sometimes is government curtailments of free speech. People have a right to be ignorant jerks if they so choose.
a time when there's a major prophaganda machine on television pushing republican christian extremism
There is a great right wing propaganda machine, and there is a great left wing propaganda machine.
a time when JERRY FALWELL and PAT ROBERTSON have a say in politics,
Don't like the guys myself, but they as citizens have the right to a say in politics, the same as any other citizen. Same with Micheal Moore, and the half of Hollywood who can't keep their non high school graduate mouths shut, and claim that their pollitical opinions mean something.
a time when \"activist\" judges get death threats and anyone with an opposing point of view is branded a traitor,
Well, we have some lone wacos in this country who give death threats. Who doesn't. Both right and left have some nutjobs who are willing to kill for their cause. Always has been that way, probably always will.
You seem to think that the presence of Christians in american politics, and their acting according to their own moral lights means this is a christian theocracy. You are wrong. The republican party is powerful, but far from omnipotent in this country, and yes there are plenty of places such as college campuses and liberal controlled cities where you can actually be punished for expressing a conservative view point.
It seems to me that you want the influence of religion and nationalism forcefully surpressed. And you are calling us biggots. Just a tad hypocritical.

So take responsibility for your chosen ideologies, don't throw up a smokescreen, shifting blame to politicians.
What are you talking about? They aren't my idologies, and I didn't vote for the people who represent them.
What about the gays, arabs and non christians?
So we need affimative action at the cabinet level now? Are there any gays, or arab americans who deserve that kind of post. They're both pretty small populations.
I wouldn't call reciting republican idealism through a smokescreen of liberal conspiracy as " what's really goin on "1 Hour Ago 02:36 PM
I believe I made it clear, its both a liberal and conservative conspiracy. Both sides lay claim to values that they do everything in their power to work against when they think we aren't looking. You my friend have swallowed the BS hook line and sinker and asked for seconds.
