Democrats, in the name of tolerance, plan to demonize conservative Christians as being like the Taliban, according to an article in Newsweek.
Democrats "are planning a daring assault on the most critical turf in politics: the cultural mainstream," political correspondent Howard Fineman writes.

This statement is interesting:
where armies build up rather than tear down
The whole purpose of an army is to kill and destroy. Now liberals want to use it to build. I have a feeling that this reveals something perverse about the liberal mindset, but I can't quite figure out what.

I think it's pretty ... makes it seem like she is, too. You find some odd things to complain about, my friend. (speaking of which)
Liberalism wins because of its essentially satanic glamour, which appeals to and propagates all that is weak, broken and ugly in mankind:
If you are lazy, it offers a handout.
If you are stupid, it dumbs down your competition.
If you are worthless, it offers (false) self-esteem.
If you are confused, it says that certainty is the REAL confusion.
If you are evil, it offers a denial of guilt.
If you are a liar, it offers a denial of the existence of truth.
If you are a homosexual, it calls your sickness normal and healthy.
If you are a pornographer, it calls your filthy exploitation freedom of speech.
If you are a slave to sin, it names your shackles, FREEDOM.
If you are a coward, it offers its own false security.
Liberalism must be crushed!
The idea is catching on.

Comparing the religious Christian right to the Taliban simply won't pass the suspension of disbelief test with most Americans who are otherwise somewhat apart from the CR. The Dems won't do it. They are not suicidal idiots. Whomever is pushing this scenario is on crack on this one IMO. I totally agree. This crap might have passed before, but the democrats are changing their tune on issues like the military to prove it is them that is not out of the mainstream. What happened right after the most horrific attack on America? People flocked to the churches to pray and the Bible quickly became a best seller. This is just about the dumbest political plan I could think of barring something like outright support for Osama Bin Laden. I hope the democrats do this because its such a stinker, but I don't think they are that stupid.

"It seems to me odd that Catholics would complain about a "one world religion." Haven't they been trying to embrace things as far fetched as Islam for years?"
Ah the Catholic bashers on FR. It's getting worse too. Why is it that Catholic bashing is allowed here? I can't open and read a thread without finding a comment against Catholics. I'm getting very sick of this.

"Earlier this month, Texas A&M University quietly decided to begin automatically admitting the top 20 percent of students from 250 low-performing and predominantly minority high schools in the state. At other high schools with mostly white students the bar for automatic admission will remain at 10 percent. The UCSD experience was that 83% of unqualified students admitted under the "affirmative action" programs dropped out before the end of the first year. Once the students are admitted, they find themselves in a ruthlessly competitive environment. The other students have no intention of lowering their own performance to permit the unqualified to compete. This is especially true in pre-med programs. The net effect is lost opportunities for qualified students that had to be excluded to make room for the unqualified ones and total waste of taxpayer subsidies of the university system. The unqualified ones acquire the added stigma of college drop-out as well.

Dear Democrats:
This is not 1992. We have had 10 years to sharpen our debate skills. We are ready for you this time, and we make Carville look like a toddler still in diapers. Bring it on.

Demonizing Christians Democrats, in the name of tolerance, plan to demonize conservative Christians as being like the Taliban, according to an article in Newsweek. Democrats "are planning a daring assault on the most critical turf in politics: the cultural mainstream," political correspondent Howard Fineman writes. "The theory goes like this. Our enemy in Afghanistan is religious extremism and intolerance. It's therefore more important than ever to honor the ideals of tolerance religious, sexual, racial, reproductive at home. The GOP is out of the mainstream, some Democrats will argue [this] year, because it's too dependent upon an intolerant 'religious right,'" Mr. Fineman said.I believe they did their shake down cruise right here on FR

It just looks like the Catholic church is today bidding fair to MAKE itself the basis of a "one world religion." And the charismatic movement is the least they have to worry about. The church which years ago said a person had to explicitly claim Roman Catholicism or be lost (at least they took the exclusivity message of Christianity seriously) is now even trying to embrace Islam and saying that unconverted non-Christians are on their way to heaven if they believe in one God (only renegade Catholics are barred). That's a nice, well meaning gesture on their part; if I really believed that God had vested me with the authority to dictate who gets into heaven, I'd do it too; but it isn't biblical.

Your ignorant oversimplification of the Church's teaching is astounding. The only people you are going to sway with your half lies is other mislead buffoons. I feel sorry for you.

No, you and those who agree with you, are the ones who go about FR, DEMONIZING , and heaping calumny on other Christians. YOU demonize yourselves, with NO outside help at all, dear. : - )
