Fundamentalists...

[cwgannon]

Has anybody else looked at the bigger picture of 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, and the War on Terror and realized that, at each's core, lies right-wing Christian fundamentalists fighting against right-wing Islamic fundamentalists?

(The Bush administration has most certainly been acting upon the behalf of Christian fundamentalists; Bush himself is, in fact, a fundamentalist.)

Call me crazy, but doesn't it seem just a bit odd that the liberals in the US have suddenly become responsible for a war between raving-mad, foaming-mouthed conservatives?

No, not quite. Apples and oranges are not different enough from mangos to make the point here, as both are fruits; one doesn't really know if apples are closer to mangos than they are to oranges or vice versa.

It would have been better to say:
"OMG the Red Apples are fighting the Green Apples and the Grapes are doing nothing!!!"

Sarcasm is fun.

So do you consider the founders of the Constitution right-wing Christian fundamentalists?

Not saying he is right (IMO a little far from it), but you are assuming that the actions currently being carried out have been given a blessing by our constitution...that itself is an entire argument on whether are own actions are legal based on the laws of our system

Perhaps if someone would have taken the wheel 8 years prior--prior to the 8+ attacks on our country in the 1990's--perhaps the "Christians" wouldn't have to go to war with the evil-doers.

I like clowns who present arguments like this; "if we hadn't gone into Iraq and just left the good Muslims alone, they would love us and not attack us." I am still trying to square that with the fact that we were attacked multiple times under the previous administration and all we did was bomb an aspirin factory...must have been that right-wing conspiracy to pin the infidels against the evil-doers.

I'm still trying to figure out what the right-wing Christians had against the Bosnian Serbs...oh, wait, that was the prius-driving gang who sent military forces in to occupy that country (and are still there today...a decade later).

And yet, despite all your yammering, my point remains indisputable.

Right-wing zealots fighting right-wing zealots. Welcome back to the fvcking Crusades.

I have done so; as you can see, an inkling of it took life in my original post.

No religion is more illogical than hasidic liberalism!

Did you ever wonder why Osama is following Sun Tzu's "The art of war" and we're not?

Not only is it disputable, but it is flat out false because GWB is a moderate, NOT an extreme right winger. And, call me crazy, but I doubt there were many Christian fundies in the twin towers, either. Probably alot of j00s though.

P.S. It is sad that the crusades failed to rid the world of Islam.

You called GWB a moderate...makes me realize where your political alignment is.


The crusades did a better job of sacking Rome/Constantinople (don't remember exactly which one ) than it did of attacking "teh evil heathen Muzzzlims!"

He's a social conservative and a fiscal liberal. Overall, he is a little right of center, but he is defintely a moderate. If he were a "right winger" he would not have won the election, and if you think otherwise, then you simply don't pay attention to American politics.

What issue has he taken a moderate stance on? Foreign policy? Taxes? Religion? Welfare? Affirmative Action?

I have to state plainly that you dont know WTF you are talking about.
Durring the crusades the middle east was a bastion of enlightenment and knowledge.
Muslims of the time were fairly peaceful. It was some braindead europeans fundies that thought that the "Holy Land" shouldn't be under anyones control but their own.
And westerners have been trying to invade and take over ever since, and not once have they succeded in occupying for more than a few years (if you don't count Israel).
Read a farking history book, you might learn something.

not much of a documentary once you think about it. its just more conspiracy theory. even those nuts sometimes sound almost reasonable until you realize they explain everything in the course of history as being guided by some shadowy all powerful organization without any real proof

I readily invite you, now, to introduce your proof that said documentary is as you say it is.

At the very least, prove to us you've taken the time to watch the danged thing.

Or ignore this and give us all proof that you are, indeed, just a partisan hack.

Time to trot out my wish for a bumper sticker:

Fun-duh-Mentalists are NEITHER! :roll:

I don't care what side of the issues they're on. Anyone who puts their faith in ancient writings, even when they're contradicted by later knowledge and verified observed phenomena, has a few too many loose screws to be in charge of anything serious. :roll:

Yeah I'd call you crazy... but a better word is ignorant. Maybe you people like to pigeonhole everything into neat, cliched compartments, but the reality is a great many conservatives (and non-conservatives) support military action. As a matter of fact, I see more secularized conservatives supporting war than religious conservatives.

All this talk about "neocon" imperialism amongst Libs... and now it's the Christian fundamentalists. Get your hack stories straight please.

If you'd abandon the liberal cliche view you seem to have, you might have a point.
