Umm, Jason, when you have an air force with stealth bombers, you don’t need to fly airplanes into buildings to destroy them. I do agree with you mostly, though, about fundamentalists in general. The vast majority (Christian, Moslem, or anything else) are probably non-violent. But put in a tight spot, they might rationalize *supporting* violence even if they won’t practice it themselves. Also, I wonder if the fundamentalism actually motivates the violence/terrorism, or is just used to help the terrorists rationalize it. The KKK, burning and bombing black churches in the 50’s and 60’s, consisted mostly of Christian fundamentalists, but I don’t know it they used their fundamentalism to justify their actions. On the other hand, their modern successors certainly do. Check the SPLC for details.

. . . and the Christian Jhihad led by King George . . .

Not to sound like I’m defending Christian fundamentalists (or GWB) who want to insert religious beliefs/indoctrination into schools, gov’t, etc . . . but I don’t see a lot of them flying planes into buildings, strapping bombs to children or using other tactics practiced by actual jihadists.

I’m not sure who you are really trying to insult: Christian fundlmentalists — almost none of whom use or advocate violence as a means to further their cause — or actual jihadists — who probably look at Christian fundamentalists as wimps for their relative nonviolence.

I think fundamentalists of all ilk give us enough fodder without painting all of them as terrorists.

8 years of Republican rule, the Republican war on science, and the Christian Jhihad led by King George … and I didn’t yet mention the deficit that’s grown by leaps and bounds.

Obama being likened to Kennedy, a Democrat, and the only one to run against McCain. Youth versus an old dude. A new way versus “4 more years”. Religous extremism out the window.

Religous nuts alienated by BOTH candidates. Republicans P!$$ed at the sorry state of “conservatism”. A minority turnout like none other.

Even a bad psychic ought to be able to call this one!

I mean, if someone found a cheese sandwich with Jesus and Obama on it, the publicity for that might be interesting too.

No thanks. There’s enough messianic talk surrounding Obama already.

I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but left leaners like him forget that when they draw the “wealthy” line, they ignore the fact that the cost of living can vary by a order of magnitude even within the same state. “Wealthy” in Ohio is not wealthy in Southern California.

Yeah, well, the astrologers also said that Bush II would be a single term president and look where that got us. . .

I hope Obama wins, but if he does I’m sure it will have absolutely nothing to do with Uranus.
