Free Republic continues its downward slide with ignorant comments like yours. It used to be about a pursuit of truth rather than spouting uninformed propaganda. Very sad.
The Spanish Inquisition was instituted when the Catholic sovereign, Ferdinand, ascended the throne after nearly 800 years of Moorish rule (Muslims). He found that he was being confounded in reestablishing the Catholic monarchy by false Jewish and Muslim "converts" where were undermining his rule. He requested the Inquisition to root them out. Unfortunately, as so often happens in such political situations, the politics of the day worked their way into proceedings and the Inquisition went on for 500 years as a tool for political control rather than religious purity.
It was never about "death to all nonbelievers" regardless of Monty Python's portrayal.
And you take life way too seriously.
Maybe stating the obvious, and quoting you — the Inquisition was a tool of political control. Is the claim of AGW not a tool of POLITICAL CONTROL? And economic control as well?
I am surprised, considering that at your haughty level, you didn’t notice this fact.
And the kind of destruction to our livelihood that the left are proposing by a implementing Carbon tax is unpredictable. But it is a reasonable guess that it would create a hardship for the middle class.
