What you say is just the party line. It is not based on principles or morals but loyalty to the party. BTW, if you are going to judge other countries and claim a right to invade them for their wrongdoings in the future, what would be your position on other countries branding you a terrorist for being part of a country that arms drug cartels and wages war on Mexico?

Your claim about Europe does not stand as well. Europe has committed the greatest amount of terrorist acts. They even committed a genocide of Jews. It is the land of Hitler and Mussolini and the Catholics. Yes, USA is different from Europe because USA was made by people who fled the Catholics. No way I am voting for Romney, Santorum or Gingrich.

“What you say is just the party line.”

Sorry, no. I’ve come to my own conclusions on this topic. You don’t need to share my opinion but my opinion was not shaped by the GOP.

And you’ve lost me on the Catholic thing. Most Europeans fled Europe to escape their class system, to obtain the opportunity to own land, and to obtain the opportunity for liberties they would never (and still haven’t) have in Europe. The Catholic/Protestant thing probably got a lot of people to leave, no doubt, but both sides killed plenty of their own and no small amount of Catholics fled Catholic oppression all the same as no small amount of Protestants fled Protestant oppression.

Point of fact: Swiss Lutherans killed far more Swiss Baptists than Swiss Catholics ever did.
