Ignorant people!

[MyFriendsLikeMe]

I wish all of you could see these bible quotin' hypocrites squirm now that Obama is in office! LOL!!

[ColtraneAndRain]

this is how they justified slavery. blind faith and obedience. don't ask questions, just trust, follow, it is ordained. . .

God save us from your followers!

[Big10]

That was an extremely well-done report.

[nicholas9999]

al jazeera does a very good job.

[ambientdiscord]

it only refers to the jewish group if it is capitalized. he was completely correct in the usage.

[vititom]

They may hate abortion, but they surely love the good old death penalty. I am not sure if Mr. Marash was fair to all the decent citizens of Midland, if there is any, that could feel ashamed of those fanatic zealots.

[mag138x]

Zealots? Do you even know who the Zealots where? FYI. The Zealots where Jews who fought against the Romans in the first century (a.d.). If you're going to call people names, in an attempt to degrade them, at least know the meaning of the word. Trust me; they aren't Jewish, and they aren't combating Romans!!!

[naliuj]

true that historically the zealots were an armed opposition group agaisnt rome, but today the connotation of calling someone a zealot is a little broader.

[nicholas9999]

mag: Please do not display your unfamiliarity with English usage here, or at least carefully examine your thinking before you post crap like this. Vititom's usage of "zealot" when not capitalized is right on the money.

these religious maniacs will eventually destroy this country.

[YankeeRebelSon]

no, your hatred and intolerance toward them will.

[ambientdiscord]

if you think i am intolerant of people that have blind faith in something and use that obedient faith to justify the defense of a president that mindlessly slaughters 5000+ US soldiers and 1,000,000+ Iraqis for his neo-con profiteering then you are absolutely correct. i dont hate them, i wish they would wake up to reality.

[YankeeRebelSon]

First of all, using made up numbers that aren't backed by facts only does your argument a disservice. Most of them said they're against the war anyway. Second, I hardly would call these people "maniacs"...certainly deeply religious but seemed nice and neighborly to me, & even to their Muslim friend. Believe me, there are many types of people who will destroy this country way before this Ned Flanders community.

[ambientdiscord]

i call these people maniacs because they would rather have a religious megalomaniac than a sane non-christian as president.

the numbers i used arent the same as the ones bush uses because he ignores anything that wasnt a direct result of enemy fire on the US military. private contractors (blackwater), friendly fire, "accidents", suicide. all uncounted.

[YankeeRebelSon]

And which "sane non-christian" did he ever run against? You're not implying someone can't be both religious and sane at the same time are you?

The million plus dead Iraqis number you gave, where did you get that? The numbers I've seen are a fraction of that...either way, I thought that the majority of deaths was from suicide bombers, roadside bombs, etc....not from Bush.

[ambientdiscord]

the 1M number comes from a study that indicates the number being cited as natural deaths is much higher than it should. anyone that was not killed directly by a bomb or bullet. the govt says it is 13.3 / 1000 people but a study by jons hopkins U (supported by many independent scientists) says that 5.5 to 4 / 1000 is "natural" if you add those post invasion excess deaths to the combat deaths it reaches over 1M.

[HEYBUDD]

Convicted? Yes, George W. ought to be. He said that the Constitution is just a "God damn piece of paper". He is anti-american and will steadfastly continue to distroy america true to his masters' (not God) plan.
