This whole situation has gotten so rediculous its become comical... but not in a "ha ha" kind of way.
NOT amused
The Rethugs and Neo Fascists not only want to dominate the world financially but desire to control the morality of the population, as well. Remember that group The Moral Majority? These right wing zealots haven't gone away, they just keep pushing their Christian Fundamentalist, Hyprocracy in more stealthy ways now.
They are Fascists for Christ. Obviously, they don't read their own bible or ignore the teachings of Jesus, who was a Socialist and a friend of the poor and the sinners.
The Christian Fundies and The Taliban with tha Al Q. wing are the most dangerous groups on the planet. They have a lot of similarities yet want to kill all of the other's members.
Bush is catering to his base. The evangelical right. They are more of a danger to the people of this nation than all of our "enemies " combined. The evil Bush speaks of is manifested in this constituency
Veteran Member,
In what specific way are the evangelical right more of a danger to the people of this nation than all of our "enemies" combined"?
I have argued for years that the right does not acknowledge or believe that liberals and the Democratic Party are their legitimate opponents.
Rather they think of them as
Un-Armerican, socialists, communists, etc.
One glaring example is right wing author Anne Coulter's
book in which she declares that all liberals are treasonous. Treason is punisheable by death. Do we liberals want to sit around and be good little Americans (Germans) as we wait for our turn? What in hell kind of further proof do we need to realize these people are fanatics?
I may be paranoic, but I believe that if the polls indicate an absolute win for the democratic candidate, there may be no election. I like to play a "what if" parlor game. What would you do if the president took to the airwaves on the sunday evening preceding the elecition and announced that, due to national security reasons,. the election has been postponed? Invariably, everyone answers in terms of "they." They wouldn't allow this, they would put a stop...." "they this and they that'
When they finish, I tell them I didn't ask what they thought would happen. I aske what they would do.
With enought prodding, almost all say they would go to work Monday morning.
Think this is preposterous, nonsense from a loony bin liberal. Well, it just so happens that the Nixon administration had a study done of that possibility.
Dangerous
The Right Wing Fundies are the most dangerous group in America because they feel that God and Jesus are on their side and anything that is done in the name of God &/or Jesus is forgiven. As in Nicaraqua where the Fundies poured in their money to aid in overthrowing a democraticaly elected Govt. and the mass murder and torture of the mostly poor population. If done in the name of their God all is OK because the ends justify the means.
This is why the present shallow, loon in the role of the President is the most dangerous person on the planet. This person believes that God appointed him to lead our nation to engage in a crusade against the evil doers. Who these evil doers are depends upon the judgement of the people in power. It could be you or me. Any means justifies the ends of the mission.

Get your facts here
Quote: Violent opposition to governmental manipulation and corruption spread to all classes by 1978 and resulted in a short-lived civil war that brought the Marxist Sandinista guerrillas to power in 1979. Nicaraguan aid to leftist rebels in El Salvador caused the US to sponsor anti-Sandinista contra guerrillas through much of the 1980s. Free elections in 1990, 1996, and again in 2001 saw the Sandinistas defeated.
Once again Pistoff, you are wrong.

Why because I would classify them as the American Taliban.
Do they wear jackboots and keep you awake at night with their incessant goose stepping?
You are just making silly allegations now.
Wrong
OK. I accept that correction. That doesn't negate the position regarding the Right Wing Fundies support that I wrote about. They supported the Contras with money. There are plenty of other examples of their support of mass murder and torture in their cause of stamping out communism, socialism and Islam.
Imagine if these people had control of this or any other government.
