Leslie,

I very respectfully disagree......

Not on what you said. Very right that in those times, Lincoln, Roosevelt, had those powers..........

There is war and then there is "manufactured" war. NO disrespect to those affected by terrorism directly but it in no way compares . This is how Bush has duped the nation. Giving him such "wartime' powers, at present, is eroding America. When will it stop? You don't defeat this kind of enemy ever........it isn't war. That assumption is completely wrong and thus the premise of your retort.

Now let's have everyone scream at me. So be it. This is not a war!!! I still go by what I posted a few weeks back -- declare victory, move on and start making America strong by protecting her basic values and focusing on the economy, the poor, jobs, housing, education and health -- not this side show of military masturbation....

I'm still waiting for Ya-ta to post a link where I can read about "christian fundamentlists" who want to force us all to adhere to the "code of Deuteronomy." I'm really curious about who this group is, how big they are and exactly what codes of Deuteronomy they wish to legislate. I'm sure Yata wasn't just making stuff up.

Deuteronomy is the book in the bible where the ten commandments showed up, and is taken literally by some. I'm going to guess Ya-ta was making the point that chrsitians in the US and elsewhere aren't exactly shy in trying to make people conform to their idea of what's right.

Considering you had a US attorney general robing statues, people trying to bring back prayer and alternatives to evolution into schools, the campaigns of people to post the 10 commandments in public buildings, anti gay marriage lobbying, anti abortion lobbying, hysterical reactions to art exhibitions....

These christian fundamentalists are kind of numerous and organised, and their causes, or "codes" they'd like legislated aren't exactly unknown.

*sigh*

I was just pointing out that, Ya-ta was saying, christians would like people to believe and follow what they believe and follow.

As to the details of what deuteronomy says, and the freaks who want to believe the world is 5,000 years old based on "bible science"....

I couldn't care less.

[thepeel]

No could I, HT.

Though, I wouldn't toss aside those islamic types who want to take us back 5.000 years...

From John Dean's 'Conservatives Without Conscience':

When I called Senator Goldwater I had only recently learned more about Chuck Colson�s involvement [with the litigation]. I asked the senator for his thoughts on Christian conservatives like Colson, and their increasing presence in Republican politics, and he minced no words. �Goddamn it, John,� he began, with a combination of anger, frustration, and sorrow, �the Republicans are selling their soul to win elections.� He saw trouble coming. �Mark my word,� he said, �if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they�re sure trying to do so, it�s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. The government won�t work without it. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can�t and won�t compromise. I know, I�ve tried to deal with them.� He had absolutely no doubt that these people made Washington more divisive then it had ever been, and he was concerned that their divisiveness was spreading throughout the country.
