the rise of the american taliban....

Tinker, you might just be horribly wrong.

[Mr. Perfect]

To compare the Taliban in any way to any Republican on the national level or any significant group within the party is insane.

AMOS

find myself closer to your position than others

although CINNCINATUS is right that the talibans actions

are not comparable to any by any present part of the american political spectrum

Emphasis on present...

but support your calling out the dire dangers

of any and all attempts to inject religion into the political process


it is not a slippery slope

it is a direct path to the end

of America as we have known it.

Words mean things. Though I have before stated that certain positions of the religious right are "just as odious" as advocating Sharia, directly equating citizens of the US with the degenerate religious fanatics of the Taliban is beyond the pale.

Don't consider me anyone who would sympathize with you or even give a shit about your opinion if you disagree.

[Tinker]

Fusing government and religion is destructive trio both government and religion. It destroys religion long before it destroys government though.

I have the same low opinion of those who compare Dems to Stalinists as I must now have for you. I hope that brings you some much needed clarity as well.
