They’d never dare to complain about a Moose what they’ve complained about Bachmann’s beliefs. With Christians it’s usually an eschatological thing, that God will intervene with miracles in the end times to set believers in the catbird seat prior to wiping out the whole world and replacing it with an eternal world. With Islam, none of these niceties apply: there is a standing directive to take over the whole world NOW, with force if need be.

the liberal economist Paul Krugman’s grand thesis that... By questioning evolution and global warming., Krugman says, the GOP has lost its right to rule.

Global warming and evolution?

He puts global warming at the same level as "questioning" evolution. Soooo, global warming is to be worshiped as a religion huh?

No wonder he says elected governance is "the right to rule." He can not differentiate between Constitutionally restricted republicanism and an outright monarchy.

He doesn't have an incorrect view, he has defective brain function leading to faulty thought processes.

Displays of "liberal" activity, thoughts, actions, etc. appears to be symptoms, not beliefs.

It is doubtful there can be a cure, either through medication or education.

Writing for the Daily Beast, Michelle Golberg compared Dominionism to fundamentalist Islam...

Okay, Michelle, let's compare...

I've never heard of "Dominionism", but if it means Jesus will return, gather all of his children unto him, and reign over the whole earth for a thousand years, I guess I am one. The Bible says that, and I believe it.

What it doesn't say is that I have the right, as one of his children, to murder, rape, and enslave another person, just because he doesn't believe. I don't have the right to persecute others, to burn their churches, to kidnap and forcibly convert their children, or to impose excessive taxes on them because of their beliefs. I don't have the right to lie to them or cheat them because of my superiority.

If I make an agreement, I'm expected to honor it. I can't make false promises and fake treaties in order to lull them into a false sense of security, then stab them in the back at my first opportunity.

If I strap explosives to myself, sneak into a crowd of them and blow us all to bits, I won't be hailed as a martyr. No one will dance in the streets and give out free candy to all the kiddies.

If I creep into an unbeliever's house in the dead of night and slit his baby's throat, my pastor won't call me a glorious jihadi warrior, declare a holiday and raise statues to glorify me. He'd say I was a coward and murderer, who didn't really believe.

If you're gonna make comparisons, Michelle, tell the WHOLE story - not just the parts you like.

I would put the beginnings of the modern American conservative movement in the 1950s and early 1960s, with William F. Buckley, Jr., and National Review and then the Barry Goldwater candidacy.

Mike Bettis was on The Weather Channel making fun of Rick Perry's skepticism about man-made global warming by talking about how hot it has been in Texas this summer. Right, but Bettis didn't offer a bit of evidence that any of the unusual heat was man-made in origin.

It's coming, and they are asking for it.
