Yes, this is the second time I have been accused of that (as if any reasonable person would do that, and I did point out it was a rant)..........and the whole point of my rant was...why aren't the Americans, majority who aren't like that, raise their voice against such extremists? Instead the majority sit meekly, in a mousy voice they say "oh, they have a right to their free speech". Sure they do, but again, my point has been - why do good people not speak up too, and speak up resolutely? Yes, Evangelicals have a right to their beliefs....and I haven't attacked those beliefs, I have quite clearly stated that they are entitled to them, ...what I did attack is their "mission" to turn those beliefs into law (and a lot of it, they already have) and the compliancy of the rest of you.

And why am I ranting...because if the rest of you don't speak up and speak up resolutely...it is a very realistic possibility that one day, not so far into the future, President Palin might blink while applying lipstick and nuke half of my hemisphere away, because voices in her head told her to do so.
It is a very realistic possibility.

And it would also be nice if Americans stopped to moan that "the world hates Americans"....because we don't, (we LOVE Clinton), what we do hate is the bigotry of your politics, condescending attitude and (delusional) superiority complex....sorry to shock you, but most of the world does not want to move to USA. And if you are biting your tongue to tell me not to meddle into your private matters...tough,...because believe me I wish I could (like I can and do with politics of almost every other country), ....but you yourself have made it (your internal politics) the matter of world importance.

And contrary to your self righteous attitude...no body ever asked you to play the world cop....and you have never, not once, done it out of altruistic motives, there was always something in it for you...because when there isn't, you are quite happy to let "those who are not as great as you" to kill among themselves.
