Or Muslim, or in smaller quantities bigamists, sodomites, blasphemers, and alleged witches. And those who weren't burned at the stake were still expropriated and driven into exile. It was a much smaller Holocaust than Hitler's, but it was a Holocaust nevertheless. This is what conservative Christianists don't want you to think about.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-82962679285866005772015-02-09T09:19:05.946-05:002015-02-09T09:19:05.946-05:00To them, Obama is the "Reverse -Midas" -...To them, Obama is the "Reverse -Midas" - everything he touches turns not to gold, but to shit.<br /><br />Even the shit they like, they see as tainted by Obama.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-62902911230783063172015-02-09T08:10:19.292-05:002015-02-09T08:10:19.292-05:00Once in a while we read in the press a story about...Once in a while we read in the press a story about witchcraft in Africa either involving some horrific crime or provoking others to terrific crimes.<br /><br />Pay no attention to Wiccan fantasies.<br /><br />The real thing, historically, is believed by those affected to be a very effective method of extortion, terrorization, crime, and violence.<br /><br />Hence efforts to suppress witchcraft.<br /><br />It would be amusing for the current pope to be asked for comment regarding possession, exorcism, witchcraft, and Satanism.<br /><br />I suspect a much more profound medievalism than the popular press lets on.Philo Vaihingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150326435392881297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-65845852552116364622015-02-08T20:02:01.788-05:002015-02-08T20:02:01.788-05:00The frenzy with which many Americans have sought t...The frenzy with which many Americans have sought to discredit what Obama said - not all of them conservatives - reflects the same mindless jingoism that we saw from Tarantos screeching about how awesome America is in response to the torture report. It seems to be caused by a deep-seated insecurity that if once they admit that America is not Exceptional, their whole mental model of the world will collapse. The emotional immaturity is remarkable, but more worrying is the demonstration that it has become virtually impossible to have a constructive discussion in America about national goals, values and policies.Ken_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709548046018362581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-41495053699490529522015-02-08T18:11:13.115-05:002015-02-08T18:11:13.115-05:00It was during the Inquisition that upwards of thir...It was during the Inquisition that upwards of thirty-five million North "American", perhaps eighty-five to a hundred million of the "Western Hemisphere and quite possibly two hundred million indigenous people around the workd were put to the sword in the name of the Jew, "Christian", Muslim, Mormon dog.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.com
