I'd like to thank everyone for their contribution to this thread, which has devolved into name-calling, blasphemy, irreverance, and, in the course of Long Cut's overblown reactions, taking the Lord's Name in vain (see post #219). If you think yourself "conservative," ask yourself exactly what you're conserving and where the basis of that conservativism lies. Good day.
YOU, FM, attempted to defend and excuse the crime against humanity that was the Inquisition.
YOU, FM, are the one who called for America to be a religious dictatorship.
YOU, FM, are the one who "damned" an entire sect of Christianity to Hell.
YOU, FM, claimed the SOLE "truth" of the universe for your OWN religion.
Myself and others rightfully called you on that, questioned it, and denounced the hateful, bigoted, and anti-American statements you and other fanatics made.
You, however, are so far gone that you are unable to even see why your insane rantings might bother us. Why they are counter to EVERYTHING this country stands for.
So now, you accuse US of hate! I'd laugh if your hypocrisy weren't so outright sickening. What a cowardly refuge you take, instead of even attempting any defense of your views!
And make no mistake, cowardly is what it is. You are like all those trolls on this forum who come here spouting one or another type of extremist hate or insanity, and are shocked, shocked! that honest, decent conservatives and libertarians condemn, denounce, and vilify them. They are dumbfounded that they so misjudged FReepers as being as psycho as they, so wrongly. However, like you, they will never examine the fallacies in their own paranoid beliefs, having taken such care to construct a mental house-of-cards to support their mania.
It is noteworthy that you bolted as soon as the heat came on in full force, along with the questions you preferred not to answer. Now, you return for a quickie, hit-and-run post like the cackle of a witch escaping on her broom after her castle is destroyed.
Enjoy your twisted, evil world. Rest assured, you occupy it quite alone. Any others so twisted in belief never group with others of like dementia. Their delusions of their own superiority and gradeur are too great.
It is one of America's triumphs as a free nation that it will, with God's good help, and that of a few Patriots, NEVER become the Hell-On-Earth that those of your ilk have tried to construct for so many centuries, and spilt so much blood and pain pursuing.
Your fear and cowardice here proves the weakness and utter uselessness of your course. I truly hope reason once again reaches you. Or, failing that, perhaps honesty...as I am still unconvinced that you are not some troll hoping to sow dissent in conservative ranks, or bring disdain upon us.
I, and many others have bookmarked this thread. Any other time you arrive to make points or posts, rest assured your words will reappear to show others just how "credible" those views are.
I might get banned for a post like this, but it is worth it to bring to light ther kind of mania and diseased thinking that has given the Left such a handy club to bash conservatism with ove the decades. SOMEONE must call you fanatics on your nonsense, SOMEONE has to proclaim that we are NOT all so blinded by mania and darkness of spirit that we would all embrace such an evil knotting of religion and our countries' ideals as you support.
People like you have done quite enough over the years to bring the Right down. It is time that you were cast down like the burrowing leeches on Freedom and Liberty that you are.
