Return of the Inquisition and the Crusades.

[Cyrano]

We've heard time and again how this is the most important election of our lifetime. You damn well bet it is.

Iraq is nothing more than a modern day Crusade. ("Gotta kill the infidel terrorist bastards over there before they come here.")

And if Bush wins in Nov., how long do you think it will be before we see his fundamentalist Christian followers demanding that abortionists (to start with) be burned at the stake?

Over the top? Detached from reality? Okay, show me where I'm wrong. Republicans have been doing everything in their power to disenfranchise voters and tear up new voter registration forms.

Bush has done everything in his power over the past four years to kiss the ass of the right-wing Christian Coalition. Not to mention his efforts to tear up the constitution. Given that he won't have to stand for election again, what do you think the next four years will look like? For that matter, what makes you think we'll ever see another election in this country again?

1. That's what I think --

that if * wins this election, there won't be anymore elections in this country until the people who really love freedom (that's us) take this country back from the theocrats, neo-cons and just plain old cons.

[Catfight]

2. Very articulately put! If Bush wins, it's a stamp of approval to

strip us of our rights, our Constitution and our freedoms. He is the most dangerous man on earth right now. He creates terror in my heart that if he wins the rest of the world loses.

4. my campus's christian fundie group was called....

no, I'm not making this up:
"Campus Crusade for Christ"

Why oh why would you put the word "crusade" in the name of your christian group. I just don't get it.

7. ah the CCC

Children of the KKK

8. It ain't an accident. These people are the most dangerous threat

to democracy that exists today. It's time that sane people got the message that our domestic enemies are far more dangerous to us than our foreign enemies.

12. Well you know

they were named that long before anybody thought about how offensive that must be to Muslim ears.

Besides, the Crusades were a response to Muslim aggression against Christendom. Almost all of the Mideast and Northern Africa, which today is Muslim, was once Christian. And it wasn't peaceful missionaries who converted them, either.

5. I would caution against expecting more from an election than is realistic

focus on enjoying your participation in the political process, cheer your candidate on, be fair to him, keep things in perspective, your goal is to install him in the white house, and you might succeed!

Savor that, and enjoy every day.

6. You want us to prove that the Republicans aren't total bastards?

I guess the tricky part is why hold the election at all if they are this close to having total control? Why hasn't Bush said, more or less, "Look I am the President, and being President is about tough choices. I don't think we can afford to change horses right now, and so I am suspending elections until things settle down."

I mean if they have the support to do all the stuff you are suggesting they want to do, why haven't they done it?

I don't want to imply in the slightest that I don't think this is a very important election; this is probably the most important election in our life time, but I don't think we are four weeks away from the dark ages.

11. I just hope we don't find ourselves in a shower room just before they

drop the gas in and I turn to you and say, "Told you so."

Yeah, I'm looking at some pretty dismal possiblities. But four years ago, who in the world would seriously be considering any of the scenarios being discussed here?

9. Iraq - Denial and Deception

In researching what Bush said before the Joint Resolution on Iraq in October 2002, I noticed this graphic on the White House web site:

Seems like an apt description of what the Bush administration has been saying about Iraq, doesn't it?

I almost want to make a web page using it, just for fun.

10. Oh, yeah.

Bush wants to do to everyone who disagress with him what the
Secret Service does to mothers who get up and ask him "why did
my son die?"

That's what Bush wants. If he "wins" he'll get it.
