[George W. Bush]

What a tragedy that people like you don't have the power in modern democratic countries in the West (a product of Calvinism fought at every juncture by the Roman hierarchy and the monarchists) to just burn people like me to silence us.

Torquemada is infamous. On the same scale with Hitler, Stalin, Mao and other oppressors and enemies of human dignity and liberty. You should be ashamed of such a horrible tagline.

You should be ashamed of being an anti-Catholic bigot and a generally ignorant one t that but, since you are not ashamed to support an antiwar antiAmerican nitwit like paleoPaulie even in time of war, we need not be surprised.

BTW, Hitler killed 6 million Jews and 5 million others in the camps alone. Lenin and Stalin (according to the US Senate commissioned study The Human Cost of Communism in Russia by historian Robert Conquest) killed 50 million. Mao (according to the US Senate commissioned study The Human Cost of Communism in China by Robert Conquest) killed 75 million.

If you question your ignorance of history (how verrrry unlikely), you might consider whether the "products of Calvinism" that are modern Western democracies include Anglican England, formerly Catholic and largely agnostic or worse France, part Lutheran/part Catholic Germany, part Catholic and part Calvinist Switzerland, Scotland that is not truly sovereign but part of the UK.

Calvinism may be many things, some of them even admirable, but mother of modern Western democracies or defender of religious liberty for non-Calvinists is, ummmm, charitably speaking, not among them.

Burning you at the stake would be a foolish thing to do when you are so useful shooting your keyboard off as a foil. If an enemy makes a fool of himself, we ought not get in the way. Silence you??? Silence you??? How utterly pretentious! Oh well, I suppose you think a lot of yourself. Someone has to.

You really must be short on paleoPaulie arguments to try and stir up religious wars instead. Quelle surprise!!!
