Socially, fundie Christians are just Muslim lite. They want their religion to control your life, but at least they won't kill you over it (anymore).

The Unibomber had his copy of algore's book too.

I have to read the websites and blogs of looney toons all the time because part of my job is security, so I look at the anti-coal sites, the anti-logging sites, the animal right's sites, I don't ascribe to or lend credence to their opinions, but I need to know what they are planning in case it effects my work.

Same with all intelligence, you look at all sources to get a feel for how the enemy thinks and will react.

Trying to say the Boston Bombers had similar views to our political system is not valid because we are not a theocracy for one thing, our majority religion is diametrically different from theirs, the way most Americans view the world is totally different from the terrorists, the list goes on and on.

If you want to say that a policial philosphy that exists in the US is closer to the muslim terrorists, read about Earth First or the Animal Liberation Front or Earth Liberation Front or any of a hundred other far left domestic terrorist sites.

Those guys routinely commit arson, set bombs and use terror as a weapon to this day.

The premise of this thread to make conservatives look bad is phoney. FAIL.

This is exactly right. Both want to return us to the stone ages. Both have agendas of world domination.
Both have barbaric viewpoints that only lead to conflict.

Fundamentalists are fundamentalists.

Well this is incredibly ironic in a dark, twisted way, given that the ultraconservatives and radical Muslims like to think they are polar opposites.

Among the material he had was a piece arguing 9/11 and the OKC bombings were government conspiracies, one about the "rape of our gun rights," one about white supremacy that stated, "Hitler had a point," and one deriding the use of drones in the Middle East.

So I guess the next logical step is for us to ban conservative libertarian immigration, and export those already here... you know, just like what we should do with Muslims... right? Right?
Just to dismiss the article. The above is not some right wing belief. Obama's own "Green energy Czar" believed it.

Van Jones, Obama czar forced to resign over being 9/11 'truther,' to teach at Princeton | Nation | San Francisco Examiner

The only ones deriding the use of drones in the Middle East are the libertarians and the few principled groups on the left.

It's amazing the length some will go to demonize those they disagree with politically.

Its that they want what they perceive to be religion to contorl your life.

The fundamenalist Christians are control freaks. They also are hypocrites and do very few acts that are Christian.

MEGA FAIL on your part for not even getting the premise of the thread.

You'll do better next time though, hun.

Fundamentalists are fundamentalists.
Both welcome a holy war and both believe God is on their side.

Ahh, someone else who doesn't understand the premise of the OP. No, that's cool.

And you conveniently forgot to address the white supremacy and gun rights tidbits. And I included libertarians in the OP, so you just proved me right on the drones bit.

Find an article that actually makes your point, whatever it is.
