I agree; however, the level of reality dismissal on the right is at an all-time high, like astronomical, and its incredibly despicable

Are you claiming victimhood? Are you not responsible for your own behavior?


No, I'm very much for owning my responsibility for my behaviour.  I'm merely giving you the reasoning behind my making the comments I do.

I'm reacting, yes, of my own volition to the outright stupidity and ignorance and lies put forth by certain individuals.

Lanya?  Brass?  Xo?  Got any to share?  He is this supposed RW radical Christian version of Usama, so obviously there must be some quotable examples to point this out, right?

Yes, douchebag, presidents speak in churches but considering when and the effect it was having at the time on Americans, this was tantamount in every way to bin Laden talking about the will of Allah.

So, in Brass's book, this President, speaking at a church (Of course Clinton never spoke at a church.  Neither did Gore, right?) never ONCE declaring his faith as the only one, never once declaring any and all who don't follow his faith are doomed, just the simple fact he was behind a pulpit is the example you provide, that was asked for, as analogus to Usama's declaration of those that don't follow Allah are to be killed.  No Bush quotes to present what-so-ever, just your demented conclusion of some magical effect he was having on all of us, to convert to Christianity

Under Desperation in the dictionary, I think there's a reference to "see Brassmask"

As I stated and you ignored, of course, both of those people spoke in churches, but I don't recall either of them doing so and basically declaring war on anyone who wasn't "with us".

I think that the context of the moment in history and Bush's putting the world on notice in that pulpit sent the message that he was declaring war on anyone who might not be a "christian".

You can have the opinion that it didn't.  End of discussion.

And yet, this request I keep making for a quote of Bush claiming his religion is the only one to follow, and that we will be "declaring war" on anyone who isn't of that religion somehow keeps getting ignored.  I wonder why's that?

Obviously you thought wrong, since you're referencing our goal of dealing with terrorists, and the why we were "declaring war" on them, and hint.... it had nothing to do with them not being a Christian, and everything to do with their goal of killing anyone who wasn't Muslim.  This is yet another example of BDS, where Bush must be evil, so such a conclusion of "context" has to be come to, minus any actual examples or facts.      

So basically, Mr Rogers is a Good Christian for not telling anyone his way was the only way, but Bush is a bad Christian as bad as Usama because he hasn't told anyone his way was the only way either.      :-\

So Bush is a pantheist?
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
   So stuff my nose with garlic
   Coat my eyes with butter
   Fill my ears with silver
   Stick my legs in plaster
   Tell me lies about Vietnam.

No.

Bush is tolerant of others beliefs.
