In a land far, far away there was a guy named Hitler.
Hitler didn't like a certain religious group and wanted to take over the world.
Fast forward 65+ years....we have the same scenario only the group hates another religious group.
About the same time there was a guy named Hirohito (sp?) who thought his people were superior beings and wanted to take over the world.
These fables may be familiar to some BC members whose scope of understanding seems somewhat limited.
If America had done nothing, we would be speaking German or Japanese now.
Pull your head out of the sand and realize that our friends from the middle east want to take over the world and force their will on us. If we do nothing and wait until they attack our shores, in a manner not unlike Sept. 11, it may be too late.
It astounds me that some of you have attained adulthood and seem so simple minded.
Once upon a time there was a country called North Korea, they wanted.............never mind.
Once upon a time, there was a political movement of paranoid Right Wing nutjobs called the Tea Party. They wanted to take America back to a time where the USA ruled the world. Their understanding of other people and cultures was as limited as their intelligence, but they persisted in their war-mongering ways. They didn't like any religious group except Christians and wanted the rest of the world to believe as they did.
About the same time, there was a President named George W. Bush. Claiming to be led by Jesus, he needlessly attacked a foreign nation, took over their government, and killed thousands of innocent people. His rampant spending plunged our nation into the worst Depression in 80 years, and his hawkish ways turned much of the rest of the world against us.
If America did nothing, we'd all be Christians right now, and there would be no religious freedom. Rick Santorum, who ran for President, wanted to eliminate the separation of church and state that has been a hallmark of our religious liberty since the founding of our country. There would be forced school prayer, no contraception, and a woman's right to choose would be eliminated.
Pull your head out of the sand and realize that our friends on the Right want to take over the world and impose their will on them. If we do nothing, a GOP president may needlessly start attacking other sovereign nations again and turn the rest of the world against us. It astounds me that some of you have reached adulthood physically, but mentally you are as advanced as third graders, especially when it comes to cultural knowledge and a rational view of reality.
Once upon a time there was a crazy televison network called Fox, and a bunch of media provacateurs like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck who preyed upon the simple-minded.....never mind.
