Harry is blinded by hate.
How can you possibly compare the "war in women" here to what goes on
in any muslim country?
Here it is defined as making abortion services a little hard to get in
a few backward states.
In Iran, you can be killed for showing a little leg and beaten for not
wearing a scarf over your head.


Hate of what? Yeah, not hate, but I really don't like it when, in this
country, self-described "Christian" lawmakers work so hard to **** over
the weak and the helpless.


... but I doubt it is anything like what is going on in the muslim
community.
I agree with you on most of your criticisms of the fundies (abortion,
the drug war, gays) but I also understand that in the grand scheme of
things, they are not the nazis or even the mullahs.

The drug war is worse than any of the rest (murders, number of people
in prison, corruption of the government etc) and we are not getting
much pushback on that even from the left.



The Nazis and the mullahs started small. Give the fundie Christians a
chance, and they'll become what they want...the American taliban.

And you accuse Scotty of being "psychotic" ? Harry, I think you've
lost it.



Oh? What makes you think they're going to "stop" when they make it
impossible for women to get health care, abortions, equal pay? Give them
an inch and they'll take everything. The fundies want their stamp on all
of society.
