16. here's a neo-con response
i posted this on my message board to get a rise out of the neocon response and this is what came back...


haha, what a joke, a misinformed atheist and a pseudo-christian, bringing up that tired old treat of tripoli ploy again....

in a nutshell, the one whole statement you bank your argument on is suspect to begin with as you are taking it so far out of context, the statement was made to assure the radically muslim nation of tripoli, that we, the u.s. wouldnt depose the muslim government and FORCE a christian rule of government over them.

article 6 of the treaty continuously shows the differnces between christian nations, and muslim pirate nations like tripoli...

in the book Jefferson\'s War by joseph wheelan, it shows that jefferson was actually in the first war against the terrorist muslims:

\"jefferson\'s war pitted a modern republic (note, no democracy listed here kenny) with a free trade entrepeneurial against a midevil autocracy whose credo was piracy and terror (not unlike today) it matched an OBSTENSIVELY CHRISTIAN NATION against an avowed islamist one, that professed to despise christians\"

also in the same book:

\"except for its native american population and a small percentage of jews, the UNITED STATES WAS SOLIDLY CHRISTIAN...\"

an reasonable survey of the state constitutions, national pronouncements and official declarations of the thirteen states would show the muslim inhabitants of tripoli of the overwhelming christian founding of this nation.

the treaty was drafted to ensure the government of the muslim nation that we had no intention of imposing christianity on them, that is all that the infamous statement is about, not about the true christian bed rock of the u.s. government...

next up , why dont you goofballs dig out your copy of the elders of zion and start lying about that too.....
