You're comparing fringe to fringe. Do I think what the Taleban are doing is right? Absolutely not. Do I think you can compare it to the Christian fringe? Absolutely. There are more people just like Eric Rudolph who have been arrested for terror on our own soil, with a loyal following.
Fringe vs. fringe? Maybe.
Are you lumping all Christian conservatives into the same group with the half dozen clinic bombers?
I wouldn't lump all Muslims in with the thousands of suicide bombers, nor would I lump all Afghani Muslims in with the nuts who beat, stone, hang, and execute women in the streets for small stuff like showing their face.
BTW, did the bomber in this instance get promoted to being the head of an "educational" board by a bunch of conservatives? Had he bombed the Pentagon or other govt institutions during war, the liberals would be very interested in acquiring him.
Yes, that last sentence tells us a lot about how you view liberals.
People's religious and political views are complicated.
Liberals are not the enemies of conservatives in this country. They are simply people with different priorities. People who have different goals.
It's an extremist position to think that people who don't share your political philosophy or religion are people who advocate bombing the Pentagon or other government institutions, during war or not. It's extremist to think that liberals want the downfall of America. That's extremism.
It's extremist to think that liberals want the downfall of America. That's extremism.
It's also foolish & close-minded too. And you said it correctly, liberals have different mindsets & goals for the country than conservatives, that's it. To equate them w/terrorists, that's just about inline w/a dictatorship way of thinking.

Did I say that liberals want the downfall of America? I don't think they do. I think some liberals are actually pretty reasonable, at least SOME of their social views. I typically disagree with their fiscal views because it rarely if ever involves shrinking government. That goes for the current crop of conservatives as well.
Hmmm, maybe my religous and political views are complicated????

Who equated them with terrorists? And I'm inline with dictatorship thinking now? Wow! I learn more about myself everytime I open a thread!
TX Boomerang: Had he bombed the Pentagon or other govt institutions during war, the liberals would be very interested in acquiring him.
I'm sure your religious and political views are complicated. And I have complete respect for those views, but I think it's appropriate to challenge statements like the one you made above. If you think that liberals are pretty reasonable, why did you make the above statement? Remarks like that don't promote conversation and reasonable discussion, they incite name-calling and negativity. They cause people to become entrenched in their positions, and that leads to extremism. That's all I'm saying.

This is what you posted...Had he bombed the Pentagon or other govt institutions during war, the liberals would be very interested in acquiring him.
Now, I don't know about you, but I equate bombing government buildings or any building for the sake of their "cause" or "religion" is indeed an act of terrorism.

Liberals bomb buildings? You are really losing me here. Is there some new information available that all liberals bomb buildings? If not, I don't get your point.
