I see some kind people are willing to give invites. I've been whoring for a week, but no one has shared :(

Pretty please and thanks!

One might question whether you read the sources you cited, as opposed to simply linking terms you heard a convincing speaker use one day.

Manifest destiny has little to do with Christians spreading the word across the world. While the idea existed that it was ordained by the Christian God, Manifest Destiny was the idea that Americans were charged with expanding capitalism, democracy, and even the American government to all of North and Latin America.

"Christian Talibans" is a lovely buzz word... but wholly inappropriate as Taliban is neither an adjective or common noun. It is instead a proper noun describing a terroristic dictatorship that was formerly the ruling body of Iraq and had strong control over Afghanistan and is currently engaging in guerrilla and terrorist assaults to prevent the peoples of those regions from asserting their own power. The Taliban is 100% radicalize Islam in origin and operation. Associating Christians in this way is simply disingenuous. If you want a true analogy, try the Irish Republican Army.

Further, dominionists don't say in any way that they want to forcefully convert any one or that they intend to mass murder any people who will not believe in their exact form of Christianity. Reconstructionists have nothing to do with government or militant attitudes. They're basically the root of the protestant movement away from the control of the Holy See (the pope). Reconstructionism was in fact a break from religious control and not an instantiation of it.

Finally, using a blog to support a radical opinion is about as useful as using a tissue to clean up hurricane Katrina. However, reading it, you'll notice all references to slavery and the law of God are from the Old Testament. If you know anything about modern day apologetics and theism, its been generally accepted for several centuries that the coming of Christ eliminated the "old law" and brought His own based entirely around the premise of John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life. None shall come to the father except through me." Which can in no way be interpreted as Christians enslaving other men.

After all that, I leave you with this: http://xkcd.com/386/

Apple products are trendy and artisans aren't the social outcasts and special snow flakes they think they are.

I take exception to you singling out Republican's here. Democrats, far more often then the big red, seek public outcry to get their policies passed. Sure, the big elephant in the room likes to point out all the big nasties and immoral things that we do, but the asses like telling us that every little thing we do is killing the polar bears. Between sharing my wealth with the inner city poor who can't stop having children and raping my wallet for gas/energy costs... I think I'll take the moral guilt over liberal idiocy any day.

The two (blogging and being a former R party official) are not mutually exclusive. Your assertion that she is being fraudulent is purely conjecture... just like Grayson's.

It's a pity when sanity gets in the way of a good political snipe.

He did say blob... compared to an amoeba... nah... still a hard comparison some days.

I don't have any points to give, but I'll give you real life karma if it makes you feel good! I was frantically searching for the "All of the above" button too :(

Lets hope we see the smallest amount of value before the American economy completely implodes.

I would love to debate the merits of individual policies all day long. Between the stimulus, bailouts and healthcare we've already got a hole that can't be filled that was dug by policies that were short sighted and badly engineered in the first place (yes, some from Bush). Sure, they all have redeeming principles in them, but the actual implementation leaves much to be desired. All of that aside, Obama's biggest problem is one of scope. You can't quadruple the national deficit in one year and add nearly $5 trillion (number from the CBO) to the national debt in as many years and then go on to (at a minimum - again numbers from the CBO & WSJ) double the energy costs for the AVERAGE American... We've already passed the legislation necessary to completely destroy the economy... this will just help it come faster.

Obama and his administration seem to only consider the ideal situation... the one in which their policies work out exactly as they intended... unfortunately they aren't and will continue to go awry, cap&trade included.

I, like you, see our destruction of the environment as a debt to future generations and actions must be taken to protect the world for the future, however, please consider the fact that our children won't have a future if we've spent out economy into oblivion. If you are ok with the United States going up to 25% unemployment again, people by the tens-of-millions living on the streets on in shelters, and your children having little to no education (or an advantage really) to speak of all for the protection of the environment, then I guess such considerations need not be made. I, however, will give my votes and support to people who are willing to find a hybrid between prosperity and environmentalism.

That's right... ignore any viable argument against your world view an insatiable desire to be "good willed" and "right" at any cost... just accuse the person as having no basis for argument and they'll go away? Is that what liberalism teaches now a-days?
