As an aside, much like the Million Man March, there seems to be some question as to actual attendance. Adam Serwer causes trouble on the Plum line http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/08/was_the_glenn_beck_rally_turno.html ----------- While the official Tea Party estimates of Saturday's rally attendance may range between a gajillion and the fafillion, the
Yup the Glenn Beck thing reminds me of another such event. The million man march. Not a bunch of fringe lunatics at all: KFC: the Koch brothers are - in that case - mostly likely a boogey man. They're kind of the George Soros of the right: spend a lot of money funding a lot of stuff, but all in all responsible for very little. I
The first pick of Tim Tebow. That is all.

I sort of thought this clown had died. Or at least had retreated to a compound where can do his durr durr huntin' in peace. But no.....

[quote]When a Christian bombs an abortion clinic or protests at a funeral it's met with vehement disagreement from the mainline Christian community[/quote] Great! But it doesn't make it any more compatible with modern living in the United States. It's still violence. They're the exact, same thing. You think the victims of a clinic bombing give a shit whether jeebus sanctioned them getting blown up? Hell no. They just care that some jesus kook trie
It is a good thing when non-drm software gets press. So often, it's the "we've got this new thing and it will stop all piracy" crowd that gets news. Somebody should try to get that story on slashdot.
[quote]ry living in the real one and then showing us all the links to where any of these things have been done. And better yet, how anyone here (or at the LGF rally) is a member of a local zoning board or for that matter congress.[/quote] I already provided you a link to one individual who was calling for a nationwide moratorium on the building of mosques. [quote]Not when that was raised. You made that statement independent of the Texas GOP, and in the m
[quote]NO ONE has denied them ANYTHING. Many have vocally said they do not like the idea of the mosque being built so close to ground zero.[/quote] Really. And that whole zoning change thing, advocating declaring a nationwide moratorium on building mosques....that's just being real vocal.

[quote]Sharia sanctions killing people. Christianity does not. And again. No one said it was acceptable.[/quote] Then why do you apologize for one when it's your beloved Christians? If you know these people have a history of violence, why do you mitigate that when talking about religious violence? If you agree that no degree is acceptable, then you should also agree that any effort made to keep one from committing acts of violence ought be done to others. If your pr
[quote]So you are just a pretend catholic, not a real one. Explains a lot.[/quote] LOL. I'm still laughing at this. Now I'm taking religious leanin' from two nuts from West Podunkia. I like how, in the mind of the hardened winger, modern values can't be negotiated against faith. DG, do you ever worry that when somebody takes your picture your soul is going to get stolen?
[quote]Um - Freedom of Speech? or is that no longer possible unless you are speaking correctly? It just boggles my mind that some think they have to impose a restriction on the freedom of speech because they do not agree with the subject![/quote] Ok then. So muslims who want Sharia law have that freedom of speech to. Build the mosque! [quote]#1: So I guess all the laws against trafficking in child porn are hate laws as well (yes, those hate monger
[quote]I doubt it will be random.[/quote] You're serious? You're really concerned that the they're just going to start killing non-believers.
[quote]We'll just vote them out, or never vote them in. Nothing to 'fear' at all.[/quote] Well what do you think they're going to do? Just start randomly beheading people? [quote]His opinion has nothing to do with mine or that of Basmas.[/quote] You're right. But it's hilarious.

[quote]You asked what the difference was, and I answered. [/quote] And your difference is: "Muslims kill more people than Christians". Again. No degree is acceptable. [quote]in churches and blowing people up by the thousands in order to get it done. [/quote] Right. We know. The 'few' that are killed during abortion clinic bombings aren't enough to really matter.
[quote]If anybobdy cares to answer this please also add how the building of a community center that runs events to increase dialoge will lead to those fears comming true. Is it just this center or all muslim buildings?[/quote] Well you see Basmas, the answer is "yes". They shouldn't be able to build any buildings. So says the American Family Association: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100812/pl_yblog_upshot/conservative-activist-calls-for-nationwide-mo
[quote]So Islam/Sharia is nothing more than a political organization. Who knew? I feel so much better now.[/quote] Well that is what you're afraid of right? Them demanding that portions of sheria law get enacted here in the United States and attempting to accomplish that through political means, right? Or do you believe on day you're going to flip on your tv with some mullah telling us we're not under Sheria Law and all of a sudden people in Iowa start gett
[quote]And I agree--in fact, I said almost exactly that myself. But where is murder more prevalent? And by "more," I mean "way, way, way more."[/quote] Prevalent? No degree is acceptable . So what should we do? Rank out the top 5 churches that kill people and ban them from building new churches? Or just the one where it's most prevalent (and is not christian, and happens to be populated mostly by brown people)? [quote]Hate to be r
[quote]Dude, I honestly do not care about gay marriage, one way or another. But from what I understand, no one opposing gay marriage is suggesting a law that says gay people should be put to death, so I still don't see that as a Christian version of Sharia.[/quote] So Humbordt, So you're not against religion being a driving force behind laws - you just don't want to be forced to convert to Islam?
Ooooo lookee here: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/36995_Fundamentalist_Indoctrination-_Mandatory_in_the_US_Army On May 13, 2010, about eighty soldiers, stationed at Fort Eustis while attending a training course, were punished for opting out of attending one of these Christian concerts. The headliner at this concert was a Christian rock band called BarlowGirl, a band that describes itself as taking “an aggressive, almost warrior
[quote]Wow, that was a stretch. No, I was merely pointing out the difference. That's what you asked.[/quote] So do you support Christian versions of it? Like Prop 8?
[quote]I guess I shouldn't be surprised you would cite the Texas GOP as an example of a Christian Sect. [/quote] So when they say this: "Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have beenordained by God, recognized by our country's founders, and shared by the majority of Texans." They're not actually talking about Christian values that they're trying to make into law right? How do yo
[quote]The difference is murder. Crazy Family Values types make a lot of noise. Crazy Sharia types kill people.[/quote] So to be clear on your philosophy: Enforcing Sharia values here in the US would be ok so long as it's not violent? And what about the rather long history of anti-abortion violence? Why doesn't that count?
[quote]Despite dan_l's strawmen, there is no Christian sect attempting to impose religious doctrine on non-believers, or subject non-believers to punishment of any kind, lethal or otherwise.

[quote]For I was not beefing with muslim folks anywhere on this blog. I am "beefing" with Sharia law. But then I do not expect you to understand the difference.[/quote] If you're just beefing with Sharia law, then why beef with the Cordoba mosque? And incidentally, what is the real difference between the crazy Sharia law types and the crazy family values types? Really? I mean both are trying to enforce religious values on people who couldn't
