Then you are against freedom. Liberalism is the opposite of what made America great.

Here's something you should read.

Frankly I don't think that anyone in the USA, lib or conservative would welcome Sharia Law in this country.

We should all fight it until there's nothing left to fight.

I'd settle for good science. Honestly...I don't expect a science teacher to stand up with the Bible opened to Genesis 1, but it would be nice to ditch the evolution fairy tale.

What Sharia Law in the USA will do is separate constitional law from the people of this country.

A time will come when a Muslim wants to have Sharia Law be used in his financial dealings at a MAINSTREAM AMERICAN bank (because there are already lenders in the USA that deal in Islamic law banking), and have it used in a court instead of Constitutional law.

Sharia already has a small opening to come in to the USA - the banking industry.

Surely you jest!

If any ideological group is responsible for this country living up to the promise of its founding documents it is liberalism, be it in the form of Republican, Democratic or whatever political flavor of the moment.

My gawd, the country was founded on the most liberal positions known to mankind up to that point and has steadily built upon that heritage.

The end of indentured servitude,
The abolition of slavey,
The expansion of universal enfranchisement,
The protection of the rights of working people,
The Civil Rights movement...

The list of liberal accomplishments is endless, all conservatives have to crow about is the establishment of temporary road blocks that impede human progress.

It would be the death nail of art, literature, and free expression.
Yeah because art and literature is so essential to the survival of a country.

This forum just keeps proving me correct again and again. Someone just said evolution was a fairy tale yet believes gawd created the world. Christianity And Islam both repress people and freedom. True Christians aren't as bad as Muslims but they basically have the same core values.



Religion is a mental illnesses. It gets proven time and time again.
