Now, when I respond that I don't despise all muslims, you say “Neither do I”.
This is why we have conversations, so we can clarify our statements and get to the truth.”””
First of all... you obviously do not understand the difference between despise and hate... there is a difference. You see... I have read the koran and I also know that even those considered “moderate” American muslims side with al qaeda. Polling by gallup and zogby have enforced this fact. You never hear or see moderate muslims coming out against any acts of terror... they just make excuses for those acts. I understand islam and therefore I despise anyone that believes in that pedophile monster and his evil rantings.
“””At some level I have trouble trusting people of other faiths, because I know my faith is correct. Of course, I have trouble trusting people who believe in evolution, or in global warming, but in the first case there are a lot of strong conservatives who have trouble trusting me because I don't believe in historical evolutionary origins.”””
Why do you think that I care what you believe? This is America and you can worship a darter snail if you wish. All that I ask in return is for others to not attack my Christianity and my belief in what the Founder's created with GOD'S help.
“””But I do “trust” muslims I work with to do what is right in their jobs, and I trust that most muslims who are in our armed forces are committed to our country and are willing to fight and die for it.”””
I guess you would have trusted that pos that tossed a grenade into that tent in Kuwait (before the invasion)... you know... the one that killed his CO and wounded many American Patriots... or perhaps the half dozen or so islamic clerics that have been caught in acts of treason and espionage... even at Gitmo... laptops with top secret intel on them etc. Maybe you would have embraced the group of islamic immigrants that conspired to kill soldiers at Fort Dix?
“””I know freepers who think muslims should not be allowed in the military, and I know that some muslims in the military have turned against us, but I know others in the military have done so as well.”””
I know islam is an evil death cult... you need to read the koran.
“””I think there are levels of trust.”””
Not when it comes to sharia and the caliphate.
“””I agree with your view of the gay lifestyle as sinful, but I also see sex outside of marriage as sinful. Still, I shouldn't have brought up gays, it wasn't part of your statement and I apologize.”””
No harm... we actually agree.
“””And I see now that your comment about “chicoms” was not a general despising of people of chinese descent who don't oppose communism, but the government of China.”””
Exactly.
“””Since you were comparing your despising of “chicoms” with despising of “Romneybots” I presumed they were of the same type, meaning both were meant to reference ordinary people who didn't oppose the object in question (chinese communism or Romney).”””
No, I despise those that lie and obfuscate the truth in defending the indefensible... and romney has a history and has made statements that prove he is not what he wants people to believe that he is. People can change but nothing in romney’s life points to anything other than he is who and what he has always been... and he is just like his father.
“””Clarification helps. And I liked this response because, other than your penchant for ending every post with a personal attack and namecalling, you actually discussed the issues raised in the post.”””
You need to understand that I am sick of what is happening to my Country... a Nation that I love... I am sick of GOD being drummed out of our daily lives by an all powerful liberal Fed and I am sick and tired of liberals who seek to redefine normalcy, America and Conservatism. The only place that I have to go every day to surround myself with like minded Patriots is under attack just like daily life in America. We have only one more chance to get it right and to save this Republic... we are at a crossroads and one way leads to the destruction of everything I was raised to cherish... and we need real leadership and honest Patriots to lead the fight... and romney and his ilk are not that leadership. They are part of the problem... not part of the solution. steele is cut from the same cloth... he sat in Bill Bennett's chair this morning and praised hussein and his intelligence... he speaks in circles and offers no real solutions. I see nothing in our collective future but pain and despair. We will never unite, when we are compelled to rally around a ted kennedy or a rahm emanuel. Time is short and we are as divided as we have ever been. There is almost no hope left for Freedom and Liberty. That fact makes me short and ill tempered. I am sorry if that offended you but there is the honest truth.

You said you despised muzzies. I said I didn't despise all muslims. You then said "neither do I". The word hate was never raised by either of us as regards Muslims, so I don't know why you now bring it up, much less suggest that I'm the one who doesn't know the difference between the two.
Although both words are related to "detest" in their dictionary definitions, so they aren't really that far apart in meaning and usage.
therefore I despise anyone that believes
Now you are back to despising all muslims. You said you despised muzzies, I said I didn't despise all muslims, you said "neither do I", and now you say you despise anyone who believes in Mohommad, which is pretty much all muslims.
I do not despise members of our military who serve honorably and risk their lives for our freedom, even if they practice a religion that I find antithetical to that freedom.
Maybe your work does not bring you to work on teams with people of different character than yourself, so you have the luxury of just despising people.
As to the rest, I specifically mention that I know some muslims in the military have done us harm, and you even quote me saying that, but yet you ignore it to claim I have forgotten muslims who have done us harm. At least you had the class to leave my quote in your response so people can see that I most certainly did not forget.
I'm sick of what is happening to our country, and think we should focus on that and not fight old battles with tired rhetoric and personal insults. But you are free to fight with whatever weapons you have the ability to wield.
