Their mind numbing stupidity, and insistence that we run our government based on religion. Their political desires are the first steps towards having Christian extremists. They want the state to push their religious agenda ... and they very strongly implied they'd want the state to trounce opposing religions. Some thinly masked bigotry towards Muslims in that bunch.

As opposed to your totally unmasked bigotry toward Christians and their beliefs....

Only when they try to use the US government to push their system of beliefs on me through law and policy. Otherwise I'm pretty much as tolerant as it gets.

I figured you wouldn't like that video anyway -- being a Huckabee supporter and all.

Well, when a guy with a videocamera decides to make a homemade documentary by focusing on 3 people and then paint a whole group as the same, it rings of intolerance.

You were quick to point out that the guy who supports Ron Paul in this thread doesn't represent all Paul supporters.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of difference to me, other than the fact that since you got on this Ron Paul kick you seem to be more and more radicalized towards anyone and anything that does not follow your beliefs.

Go ahead and show me where I said they represent all Christians.

What group isn't trying to use the US government to push their system of beliefs through law and policy?

Nothing wrong with a little bigotry towards Muslims.

Especially since we're at war with them.

Did a miss a day where we declared the Crusades as on again?
That would be the day we attacked Iraq.

What scares me is you seem to find these people normal and perfectly sane.

Did I say that?
No you didn't SAY that but we know you well enough to know what you meant.

1) System of beliefs =/= religion

2) Regardless, Libertarians, Republicans in the Liberty Caucus, Republicans (in rhetoric) in the mid-90's.

We didn't have to declare any war on them. They started it, and won't stop until they have a single Islamic theocracy. Western society cannot coexist w/ Islam. The two are fundamentally opposed to each other. We've been dealing with it for the last 1000 years, and we still believe that these people are just a small bunch of "radicals". Our government may say a war on Islamo-facists but that's just trying to PC the war.

Ok, let's have a role call of people that want RobertN to speak on their behalf...

Back in the real world, I know what GrayBeard said and what he meant (which are pretty much the same thing).

I'm pretty sure that what RobertN thinks you mean has little relation to what you mean, and I won't restrict that to GreyBeard's statements.

Really? Will it be Shia or Sunni? Alawi or Druze perhaps?Will it entail Persians and Arabs and Indonesians too? Who will be the leader and where will the capital be. Fascinating tell me more.
