Christian Exodus

Christian Exodus (the brainchild of a Neo-Confederate financial advisor, Cory Burnell) is an ecclesiocratic group of Christians promoting a mass emigration of Christian fundamentalists to South Carolina in hopes of influencing the governmental process in the United States. It has announced intentions to move people to selected cities and counties of South Carolina in stages, with each stage timed to influence a particular election cycle. They hope to eventually move more than 50,000 people. The first city in South Carolina targeted is Anderson, South Carolina. On July 6, 2007 Anderson's local newspaper The Anderson Independent-Mail printed an article stating that they had formally announced Anderson to be their first project. However, their leader decided that he could not move on with the plan without "gainful employment," the Independent-Mail stated, as his employer, who he would not name, no longer offered him a job. Though, it is said that 15 families are already in Anderson, South Carolina, ready for the full Exodus...

And Political Migration

They are flat: Protonephridia's, I read. Flame - Bulb Systems.

They have dead-end tubules lacking internal openings. The flame-bulbs has a tuft of cilia projecting into the tubule. yuck.

Someone has to do it. Excreted urine helps balance the osmotic uptake from the plants water storage in the plant cells. I am not a biologist and am prone to error. I best go ask loopers to leave the flats of young tender plants waiting for the fall field plantings.

I am going now. goofballs!

Smash 'um loopers for me?

'Um are flat goofball worms.

WWII enthusiasm was drummed up by slogans that implied if we didn't beat Hitler, we'd all be speaking German after the dust settled. It's the way civilian populations have been revved up for war since the first rock was thrown in anger.

We just call it by a different name: The Religious Right

While Roger Simon is generally wrong, here I think that the danger of radical Islam should not be taken with your derisive sneer, Glenn. You've gone way overboard.

Remember "the cartoons?" Remember how there was an essential news blackout on showing them in the USA? Fear of radical Islam is corrosive. And btw that fear has some real rationale. Consider Salman Rushdie.

One can be against the Iraq War and think that Bush is a bad President AND ALSO believe that the threat from radical Islam is real

Do we not give Billions in aid and promises of military support to the same countries that produce those very same radical Islamists that the right wing screech festivals are squealing about? What's it to them anyway, don't they all believe Tim Lehay's books? Apron, burka what's the difference to these Ward Cleavers anyway?

What 'Islamization' of the UK? I live here and Muslims and still a minority. You seem to live in a 24 / Tom Clancy cloud cuckooland shooter.

Extremists and fanatics can be found in all religious pursuasions, including the religion most widely practiced in our own country. I am more concerned about the negative effects of the radical christian right, which makes no secret of its agenda to transform our (currently ailing) democracy into a theocracy based on biblical law. They falsely believe that the US was founded on biblical principles when in fact our country was founded on Enlightenment ideals, especially those of Locke. While radical Islam is truly a concern, I believe our 'homegrown' radicals are the ones we should be more worried about. They've already caused enough damage to our freedoms and liberties and there's more to come if they continue to wield their political clout. A more realistic result of religious extremism in the US for women isn't the horror of wearing a burkha, but being forced into a false christian morality that includes wearing baggy, colorless dresses down to our ankles. The overly modest clothing would be the least of our worries under christian sharia law.

It's the new Zionism. Islamic Zionism.

Israel is a tiny country surrounded by hostile Muslim countries. Israel has fought 5 major wars with multi Arab armies and won all of them. In the 1967 six day war, the state of Israel had a population of 2.5 million Jews, yet it defeated handily the combined military forces of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The notion that radical Islam, a minority in a non-monolithic population of over a billion people, could take over this nation of 300 million people is beyond psychotic, we probably have to invent a new medical term for this kind of paranoid lunacy. The notion that radical Muslims have any prospect of becoming a majority in the US and somehow suspend the Constitution and force Islamic law on 300 million people against their will, is equally psychotic. What is very real is that an utterly corrupt Republican party dominated by fundamental Christians and backed up by the courts is working very hard to obliterate the separation of church&state and turn this nation into a fundamental Christian theocracy-now that is an immediate and grave danger.

If Bush had gone on national TV before 9/11 and spoke about terrorists planning to run planes into the WTC, people like Glenn would have accused him of using ratcheted up terror reports scare Americans into supporting him and his policies.

Now, after 9/11, Glenn thinks anyone who sees islamic fanatics as just more hyperbole. The more things change the more they stay the same for the left.

What is far more likely to occur under this mode is the freedoms enjoyed by western cultures would undermine the authoritarian regime of Muslim cultures than the other way around.

I always like it when someone says clearly what I was trying to say.

What I find fascinating though is the mirror effect. The same people who hate freedom and crave order in America are the ones who are most inclined to attribute the same worst attributes to their Muslim counterparts.
