I've followed this thread with increasing amounts of shock and awe, as well as hilarity. But, now I
have to tell you that you're just the kind of religious nutcase that puts the fear into freedom
loving people everywhere!
BTW, is that 75% of white judeao Christian America? And where do you get 75% from anyway? Is that
the same 75% who believe Iraq was responsible for the Twin Towers atrocity.?
Bush, and his sleazy governments' links to the Christian right and corrupt industrialists are ever
increasingly exposed by those media organisations which don't themselves have their own reasons for
supporting his government and their policies. More so since the war began in Iraq.
Pete Fagerlin is too kind in restricting his description of you as a 'thumper', a "righteous nation
prevailing" indeed! There's no need to subscribe to outlandish conspiracy theories about the
political Right in America to understand that a coup happened when the Supreme Court ruled for Bush,
and that Bush and the religious right are gradually eroding the American Constitution and hard won
individual rights. And clearly you are one of the 'crowd' who subscribe to religious hijacking of
the body politic, and Bush's warped political agenda.
It's people like you slavishly supporting Bush's dangerous policies out of some religious zeal that
have damaged some of the genuine goodwill and sympathy that many people around the world have for
America, particularly since 9/11, and have given just cause for the fear many in the Muslim world
have of 'Christian' America. Worse, you and those like you, in your attitudes and support for Bush
have managed to outrage and inflame moderates in the Muslim community around the world.
