Default The religious right are no better than the Taliban.

They are religious nutjobs who peddle a mixture of fear and salvation to the weak and easily fooled...kinda like bushie-boy does almost daily...

Default I think

the real Taliban in this country are many of the secularists. At least those on the extreme left such as the ACLU.

Default What about his stand on Gay Marriage

Bush, is pushing legislation to ban gay marriage. He has stated on several instances that it is immoral and against all America should stand for (meaning his religious beliefs). Now I'm not for or against gay marriage, I feel there is no big deal with it. The fact they marry or not doesn't change the fact that they are gay and perform gay sex acts with one another or that they love one another now does it? Government should not be able to say weather or not these people can marry based on religious viewpoints. Separation of church and state. There is your example. The church should be the source of this controversy...not our government. We have bigger issues to worry about, but because Bush is so pro-religion, he does shove these values down our throats. He makes other non-gay Americans think down apon gays, because of his beliefs and statements.

Yes, that is Bush's beliefs. I think all presidents will do the things they believe in no matter if it is religious or not.

TRUEBRIT - Did you get that quote from that black leader in D.C.? I can't remember who exactly it was or what their job was but he said the "religious right is the Taliban". Thats got to be the stupidest said. How could you compare the Taliban to the religous right? Aren't there religious people who are on the left who also don't believe in gay marriage but believe in other liberal ideals?

My point was that Bush has no right saying that it is immoral or not immoral. That is a religious belief and does not belong in government, it belongs in the Church.

Wasn't the taliban a group that came to power without popular support and then wanted the society to run according to their anachronistic religious beliefs? Doesn't exectly sound like ACLU now does it? It does sound like someone else, but (Bush) I can't remember his name (Bush).

Oh, so now it's the ACLU that sics the morality police on the FCC, huh. That didn't happen on this planet. It's the Christian Taliban that did that on this planet. Ashcroft is in charge of the Justice Dept, and it was he and nobody else who put a drape over the statue of Justice we've had for decades. Coverup is what that Chief Christian Taliban official does best.

The ACLU (and the extreme left loonies) tries to force all Christian vocabulary out of day to day life and instead enforce its extreme secularist view. This despite the beliefs of a large majority of the American public. The Taliban forces all vocabulary that isn't Muslim out of day to day life despite the majority of the Afghan public. Sounds like the Taliban to me. The Taliban represented the dregs of society (Mullah Omar), the ACLU represents the dregs of society (NAMBLA). Yep, sounds like the Taliban to me.

They do not. What the ACLU says is that your everyday language is not to be expected to be engaged in by those who don't share Christian views. You can dammwell say what you want to, but you have NO BUSINESS telling anyone else they can't use anglosaxonisms--which is what the Christian Taliban morality police seek to do. Secular is freedom for everybody; Christianism is privileged freedom only for the Christians, and, as such becomes a de facto state-endorsed religion. The problem with the Christian Taliban is that they have to shove their crap down everybody's throat--see also Blue Laws. The only way our laws can apply equally and fairly to everybody is to oust the Christian Taliban from law except to ensure that they're only a protected class when it comes to their right to exercise their religion only for themselves. People have a right to freedom FROM religion. Your right to your religion extends only to the point where it begins to encroach on someone else's. Your religion shouldn't extend any further, NOR should you enjoy special privileges under the law because of it.

So the ACLU wants all religion out of society and the Taliban wants everything EXCEPT religion out of society. To me, it sounds like the ACLU is the opposite of the taliban. Now Bush wants to infuse society with as much religion as possible. Now, THAT sounds like the Taliban to me.
