And spread all kinds of crap about it to get them to show dissent.

That the TTP would create Shira Law.
That it is a secret UN takeover.
That it will bring the anti-christ and to be for will bar you from rapture.

I don't know. They seem easy to rile. Progressive should learn the evil art of manipulation and double cross.

The last one was a bit of a stretch. I think anything mentioning Sharia law would scare the hell out of them.

Seems their constituents believe it is "the big step" towards "one-world government"!
