Why are religious dictatorships so repugnant?

More repugnant than blindfolding one's own citizens and then shoving them out of planes and helicopters into the Atlantic? They all stink.

JoeBigs you got a very interesting point. The rabid Right seethe so much against Obama as their leader but blithely assume he's everyone else's leader. Talk about egomaniacs.

Like they say, the one who smelt it, dealt it!

Now that has got to be one of the more astute assessments on these boards.

Republicans talk, talk, talk, all talk about the big game, but when the ball is in their hands they fumble, run off and field and then claim victory. Think the Kurds in Iraq. Saddam massacred them after they rose up against him. Why? GWHBush made promises that were forgotten.

Now…

Makes one's blood run cold. Trust is what makes the education system work (among other things) without it the system collapses.

Didn't know there was a tourist industry between the UK and NK. Is this industry measured in the 10s or 100s of pence? Anyone know?

buddha - "I do not like Palin the politician" What's not to like?

Sarge, if the Obamaniacs are too much for you, then why do you sound like them when Palin's name comes up? She has never impressed me politically (even on issues where I tend to be more conservative)…

JoeBigs I have no idea why you would lump me with the "far right wingers" just because I think Letterman made an oopsy on TV. I do not like Palin the politician but that does not blind me to the fact that Letterman sought to needle her through her children.…

Molenir Since when did Farrahkhan speak for the average Obama supporter? Until this link, the only people I heard or read calling Obama "the Messiah" are his ideological foes.

That's understandable, most conservatives get tagged by the Left whenever Rush, Beck, O'Reilly etc. say something that can be taken political…

JT - I think you can omit the "land" in "crash-land" from the title :). It just crashed...

No "crash-land" is correct because it was controlled and intentional. Other space vehicles "landed" on the moon because they were designed to land, Kaguya was not designed to land.

And I agree…
