If you want to argue religion, post it on a religion thread in the proper forum. I will NOT allow this thread to be hijacked and turned into a religious war. Stop it.

Hey, YOU were the one who dropped the religion bomb on this thread by suggesting that somehow it should be a tenet of whatever movement you are supposedly promoting on this forum to prohibit the building of Mosques and denying Religious Liberty to people. I made the statement that if throwing away the first Amendment is a tenet of your movement, then I want nothing to do with it.

Some posters, including you, challenged my LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL position by dragging Islamic doctrine into the mix attempting to justify the wholesale discrimination against one religious group on the basis of some teachings that some members of that religious group may or may not hold to. In response to one poster who asked me a bunch of what I felt were irrelevant religious questions which I have no intention of answering, I simply pointed out that Judeo-Christian tradition has some elements that we might find objectionable too.

I will repeat myself. If you think that the way to make America better is to ignore the First Amendment and start persecuting certain religions and preventing people from even building a place of worship, then you can count me out of your movement.

Your initial post on this thread suggests that Jim Robinson is sanctioning all that you post here, and somehow I think that may not be the case.

FWIW, I think we need to narrow our focus if we are going to change America and turn it back to its roots and we shouldn't be broadening our focus so that we drive away like minded people. IMHO our focus should be simply to return to our roots politically and that focus should be on weakening the Central Government and Strengthening State, Local and Community government with an emphasis on INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. Much of what you have posted as your proposed platform for this movement TAKES AWAY LIBERTY from individuals and puts the power to take that liberty away in the very hands of the people that we don't want to have it.

So if someone wants to challenge me on this thread and they want to do it from a religious rather than a political standpoint, then I think the only person you have to blame for the thread not going the way you may have intended it is YOU!

So, FWIW, I will not be silenced by you on this thread. If Jim Rob or the Admin Moderator wants to shut me up and tell me to "Stop it" then I will be more than happy to do so, as it is their forum and they can choose to do as they please. And until THEY tell me to "Stop it" then I will continue to post my opinions on this thread or any other thread, and just because you started this thread does not mean that you own it.
