AJ, the Islamo-Fascist meme again?
How cute.
So the jihadists are channeling Mussolini?
So what exactly should we call Christians that worry about cultural decline and call for national unity based on religion, nationalism, militarism, autocracy, corporatism, tolitariansim, and the unitary executive?
Christo-Fascists?
Republicans?
AJ, this mentality that “they’re out leaders, they must be right and we must support them” is something I find distrubing and open to abuse. I would be interesting if you felt thus during the Clinton years. I know the Republicans of the time didn’t; they went out of their way to make Clinton look bad and block him at every term..
And AJ, I have plenty of bad stuff to say about fundamentalist Islam. I think religious fundamentalism of any stripe is a danger to everybody.
And I know that the way to defeat them is with the liberal ideas our Founding Fathers put forth: secular government and a separation of Church and State, strong and just central government, absolute respect of the rights of property and person, gainful and plentiful employment, a well-educated citizenry, and truly representative government through an elected body.
When we overthrow elected governments and replace them with dictators, when we support ruthless strongmen and repressive governments, and when we do not live up to our own ideals, we don’t move those countries towards us. We stop being a shining beacon, to our and their detriment.
