DEFINITELY NO C.J. CREGG - He was always a somewhat Twinkie choice for the face of the White House - he must be SOMEBODY'S best buddy. Maybe its time for a long vacation.

Babs,

This was one point an an ongoing response to a comment by ObamaMama (with the RatFinK graphic) - who was continuing the old argument that 'the scaryMuslimsare evil' that they are robots - orpossessedby demons or something. I have been fighting this kind of stupid xenophobia for about 50 years. My countering argument centered around my observation that ISLAM meaning submission or surrender to God was in fact the basis of Christian Devotion as taught by the mystics and theologians of since the beginning. His response to me re-iterated his pre-judging of Islam (btw I'm a Christian not that it matters) as unique in its 'mind control' of itsadherents - leading to Jihad alaArmageddon. To counter this - I used an allegory of the Children's Crusade - where Christians were deceived through the twisting of their religion (I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Vision Boy who fleeced the faithful) into doing something stupid. I Just trying to get ObamaMama (impossible) or his readers (like you) to consider the OTHER as a human being just like themselves - by putting themselves (or theirancestors) into that OTHERS' shoes.

OUTSIDE THE LAW - I See - Somewhat like when we abandoned the U.S. Constitution to live under the tyranny of a 'decider' codified by the 'Patriot' (Missile) Act - if we don't need to worry about the boundaries of some silly system of law - we can simplify the electoral process a great deal by just 'black bagging' any potential political rivals until after elections. Who needs 'investigations' if we can use any means to carve the information out of 'suspects'

WE NEED TO RE-CLASSIFY CHRISTIANITY as a tax shelter with 'pseudo spiritual' aspects.

You remember hearing about the Inquisition and the Crusades (Known as Operation Enduring Hatred) especially the 'Children's Crusade' where children were rounded up all over Europe - Parents told by priests that their children were being called by God - the ones who weren't sold into slavery (not many) fared about like you would expect in battle.

JOHN KENNEDY - I remember the 'hubbub' when he was running for president because many in the country were not sure that a 'papist' (Catholic) might not be under the 'secret control' of Rome. As we left our farms for the cities many of us left behind the Xenophobia of the frontier - some of us did not - like the author. This 'fear of the other' usually dissipates as one gains experience with the 'outside world' and learns that black and brown and funny talking people are not that different from Aunt Marge and Uncle Joe.

THERE ARE NO CHRISTIANS - They were a mythical group said to be followers of the teachings of Love for ones Neighbor defined as all of Humanity of a Rabbi from 2000 years ago. A roman Jew named Paul turned his teachings (along with popular folk mythology of the day) into a state religion of Rome. A religion which is no longer followed anywhere today.

FYI - The Law and basis of the United States of America is the Constitution. While I agree that Shariah Law has no place here - (or Europe but that's their problem to solve) - there is no need to display our paranoia and xenophobia to the world like the dirty laundry of American society that it is.

TALK TO YOUR PASTOR - If you are a Christian - or your Rabbi or whatever. ISLAM meaning surrender or submission to God - is very BIBLICAL.

ANTI-CHRISTIAN AMERICA - I have no problem with a Mosque, Synagogue or Christian church anywhere. I have no problem with Nativity scenes and Crosses in public squares. I think that teaching morality and ethics to our children is a crucial part of education in any society. Religious teachings - because they are one of the primary sources of ethical and moral thought that any society produces - SHOULD BE TAUGHT in every school. I am disturbed by the fact that CHRISTIANITY is the only religion oppressed in this country.

BILLION DOLLAR VAPOR-WORKS - I have lived in Walla Walla all my life and in the house where I now live on Palouse St for over 30 years. In all the time I have lived here there has never been any work done on this street or its City utilities. The same is true almost everywhere in the City. During this same time our City Utilities and County taxes have been some of the highest in the state. A few years ago there was a scandal when it was uncovered that a City employee had embezzled about a million dollars - but Walla Walla has taken in about a BILLION DOLLARS in revenue - just during my lifetime - where did the REST of the money go?
