I think your accusation of narses using hatred is misdirected. Narses has been civil and posted facts about Rudy's history. If it's hatred or uncivil discourse you are looking for, try Wombat101's comments.

In post 150 there's this subtle hint toward suicide..."Take those guns you fear losing and give yourself a .45 caliber root-canal."

In post 188 there's this loving comment about Christianity..."Fairness and honesty seem to have gone by the wayside (along with pragmatism) on these boards because they are invariably started and/or hijacked by the Perpetually-Panty-Bunched crowd, most of whom haven't a thought in their head that didn't originate in Scripture or from their extremely prejudiced and skewed view of factual American history."

It is fine that all Republicans don't prioritize their issues the same way, and debate about the importance of each is necessary, but assaults like those of Wombat101 and other pro-Rudy people are not conducive to keeping the party together.

Thanks. It's Lent, I gave up flame wars.

Assault? Anti-Christian? Perhaps you need to be educated a bit. To begin with, I AM a Christian, and was educated in Catholic schools my entire life. I certainly do not find anything in Christian teachings that is objectionable. What I find objectionable is the selective application of Christian teachings by a self-appointed bunch of busy-bodies who cannot recognize the mockery they make of the most basic tenets of the faith with their ignorance.

While I am certainly NOT anti-Christian, I am certainly anti-Christianization of the American political process. While it's absolutely fine for your religion to inform your views and opinions, it's certainly not alright to impose your dogma through force of law or political office. Some "conservatives" (small 'c' intentional) neither recognize the difference, nor care that there is a distinction to be made.

That's how the Middle East got themselves a mess of Hezbollahs, Talibans, etc --when the religious becomes the political, oppression and the eroding of rights is the ONLY outcome. Not in my country, pal.
