Christian Condemed To Death

Let me see if I understand Kiamat's reasoning.

1 A Conservative Republican US administration creates the Afghan regime

2 The same administration props up the regime economically and militarily

3 The Afghan regime has executed homosexuals and others, with no protest from the US

4 The Afghan regime arrests a Christian convert, who faces the death penalty

5 Kiamat decries the lack of liberal outrage in the forums about the possible execution of a religious convert. Yet there were no other threads started by conservatives either. But Kiamat doesn't criticize conservatives who failed to post their outrage, only liberals.

6 Liberals (in Afghanistan and the US) had nothing at all to do with this situation, conservatives did. Why criticize liberals? Why no criticism of conservatives?

7 This situation is a direct consequence of the Bush administration's push for democratization in the Muslim world without an equally strong push for human and civil rights. Democracy without limits on the power of government and broadly recognized civil and human rights is nothing but mob rule. Our founding fathers understood that. The Bush administration doesn't recognize curbs on it's own power, why would they understand the need to curb their allies power?

8 So, Kiamat, go flog the Liberals because they didn't start a thread on this. 'Cause, yeah, that's the problem here, those pesky liberals. LOL.

Yup Michael, that's about it.

So the point of your thread is that we screwed the pooch in Afghanistan?

That we were so eager to invade Iraq that we didn't get the job done?

I agree with you 100%. What our President did was negligent and criminal.

Kiamat - I have never told anybody to 'fuck off' in these forums but, I have to say, this posting caused an inner battle.

Well, maybe not the "theocratic" part.



Bush actually really doesn't care about this one, either. I don't see him taking any direct action beyond whining and moaning about it. Is he suspending diplomatic relations? Imposing economic sanctions? Pulling out troops? Cutting down on aid? Or even threatening any of those things? No, not really.

So as long as it's not Americans being killed, screw em'? That's a great attitude. Pretty much, the Bush Administration doesn't really care what other nations do as long as they say they support the U.S., let us station troops there, and in the future buy our weapons.

So Kiamat, you have no problem with killing innocent Americans, but if they're Christian foreign nationals, suddenly you get all huffy about it? 'Cause I don't think Bush particularly cares if they're not likely Republican voters.

*ears perk up*

Did somebody say "atheistic socialist state"? Where can I find one of those please?

Russia, 20 years ago. China, now. France, in 20 years.

USA in one year unless Bush is impeached.

*blinks*

*rubs eyes*

Kendra, is it just too early in the morning or did you just tell her there will be a aethistic socialist system in place if you keep Bush?

$50 dollars against.

sure --right after China calls in the debt.

Better make it 50 yuan.

Hmm I'll try to write this in Kiamatese:

"I waited and waited, and this is exactly what I figuerd a Typical Righty Neocon would do. He posted "Christian Condemed To Death" as the thread title, when in fact there's a person facing a trial. There has been no condemnation at this point. So like a Typical Righty Fox News O'rielly laptog, he's erred in the SECOND word of the entire post."

I'm SO sorry but you forgot the part where those Conservatives who care about freedom didn't come on these boards and decry the deaths of homosexuals and women.

Oh there's also this: http://hotzone.yahoo.com/b/hotzone/blogs2986;_ylt=AogdmnHmTEUlyqwC6z46R86LFMsF;_ylu=X3oDMTBjZzJsamRkBHNlYwNibG9nLWVudA--

But hey-- she's not a Christian, nor is she American -- so I guess the abuse is warranted eh?

You also forgot the part where Afghanistan is NOT America and things all over Afghanistan are really not all all that much better than they were under the Taliban and are actually much worse in some areas.

Yeah, I guess that would do it...

Ugh... too early in the morning for political thoughts... *wanders off to mismanage the stock market instead*

Edit: *points up to the story about the 4 year old bride* That should be protested more than the grown man who made a choice (albeit under an unfair law).
