Comments on: Iran Cleric: Execute Election Protesters

Religion poisons everything.

Just six years after the First Amendment became an official part of the Constitution, the U.S. Senate read (in the English language) and ratified a treaty with Tripoli which included in Article 11 the following assertion: "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion" (John Adams, 1797, Hunter Miller, ed., Treaties and other International Acts, 2:365).

The Founding Fathers could not have stated the principle of separation any more clearly than when they wrote: "No religious Test shall ever be required as a qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States" (U. S. Constitution, 1787, Art. 6, Sec. 3).

Most people have a poor understanding of history. The neocons and right wing fundamentalists of the last twenty or thirty years have done what they can to obscure these truths in favor of their own ideologies. America is not a Christian nation, but we are a free nation. It's important not to let the partisan ideologues change that.

Poor bitter Baghdadshere from Brazil.... not only is that none of your business because you say you're from Brazil, but what you say is patently absurd. You state that American is a Christian nation because we have over 50% who claim to be Christian. That's like saying the United States is an Aryan Nation because over half the people in it are caucasian. Ridiculous - of course - but then again with the pharmacological substances available to you in Brazil it isn't surprisinng that you'd come up with a whopper of a story. Enjoy the lights!

If this lunatic gets his way and they execute protesters, world opinion will not care all that much if some country bombs them back to the stone age.

I admit Michael set a record for webs staying away
from politics,,,,But now back to business,,,

Of COURSE excute the would-be traiters,,,

All that's left is how to do it.

By America's legal version of our Chemical-Alley
punishment?,,,,,NO,,,

Not enough visual fear to act as a deterent,,,,,
Guy rolls by people give him the finger that's it.

By Saudi Arabia's punish,,,YES!,,,OH YES!
Nobody messes with our FRIEND King Abdulah!!!,,

Three weeks ago a web site messed up and let it
out of the bag,,,,,,
In our FRIEND King Abdulah's heaven a reporter saw
a criminal beheaded, his head sewed back on and
then hung from a telephone pole as a deterent.

(The other sites probably just didn't hear about
it or lost it in the lead up to the news,,,,
Someone's head sliced off, sewed back and hung on
high in the town square is something that can
easily fall through cracks in a newsroom.)

With Abdulah's way future Iranians preparing for
protests would then have to balance America's
backing against their eventually ending up in
the catbird seat during some market day's
buying and selling of pigions.

The Charge Of The Democratic Light Brigade
never came screaming over the hill********

The holocaust deniers are denying their own holocaust while announcing a holocaust to come against their own people.

Just goes to show that the religious nuts are actually mentally ill, living in a world of delusion.

How do you define a religious nut?

My definition: A vegetarian that believes in one God. That sounds good to me, how about you?

What did Obama do that 'interfered' with the Iranian situation, All he did was voice his feelings, which 'I' thought was an AMERICAN right.
Where is that "meddling"????

The French contribution to the "American Revolution" was the result of factors that are not present in the Iranian conflict. We can't step in right now because it is an 'Internal' struggle that concerns the people against their government, not an 'outside force' such as England was in the 1700's..

Couldn't agree with you any more funslideds, especially for such a repressive masagonistic BS religion as Isalm! All their so-called actions in defense of their backwards middle ages religion only confirm why ALL should be eliminated from the face of the Earth forever!

[ToolMangler1]

100% agreement with that statement
