mrd. Take this as you will, but too many self-avowed 'Christians' rationalize 'shaking hands with the devil' when it serves their agenda.

Whether Mormon or Christian, organized religion entities skew and distort the biblical messages and commandments everyday in everyway. Their 'moral compass' is defective if present at all.

Well, I'm not intimidated.

Well, I'm not intimidated. Burning our President in effigy is an intolerable act. Every American should speak out.

Presidents getting burned in effigy is a pretty routine occurrence, isn't it?

It's amazing to me that these Fundamentalists are supporting a man who is a member of what they consider to be a cult. A core belief of Mormons is that man can become God. Other religions were considered abominations by Mormons. They also believe that there are recurrent revelations that transform prior beliefs. Mormons changed their belief about Blacks being unable to be clergy on the spur of the moment after the church leader made the decision. We have Pat Robertson cheerleader for something he would have called a cult months ago.

The core belief of Christianists is not Biblical, but access to power.

(note: I am not anti-Mormon, anti-Muslim, etc. We all find our path to the "truth"). I am just pointing out that the Christians who tell those Christians with more of a Left world view, that they are not true Christians, have shown their willingness to make secular compromises. They have lost their "moral" arguments against those who don't hold up to their "Biblical" standard.

A commentator at Elder of Ziyon said that Obama only cares about Muslim lives, not American lives. But he also blamed Obama for killing Muslims. Go figure.

Oh sure they will, because they embody the Christian teachings of love, charity and kindness.

Seriously, they'll speak out, they always do, but seldom with the above cited 'ingredients'. (I'm sure this has been reported, but do these politically active and vocal 'preachers' enjoy the benefits of being exempt from taxes? Because if so, it needs to be curtailed IMO.)

They'll no doubt blame the President as they also condemn all Muslims. Sadly, that is their shtick and they'll continue clinging to it with all their ~~might~~ 'right'eous fervor.

We expect politicians and plutocrats be silent on the lynchings. The real question is whether politically active right wing pastors will speak out. Will Mike Huckabee, John Hagee or Pat Robertson defend the President?

FWIW, the Google knows nothing of any "effigization". Genghis is thus in competition for this year's "truthiness". Neologisms R us.

It's good to keep in mind that there are cynical politics going on elsewhere in the world regarding this problem; for example, I believe the following headline and lede are quite accurate:

Pakistani leaders play religious card as protests boil

* Pakistan government plays religious card

* Elections approaching

* Clerics whip up anger over film

By Katharine Houreld

ISLAMABAD, Sept 21 (Reuters) [....]

For the Pakistani state or elite, this is not really about the US, or about state-to-state anti-Americanism, it is about keeping the crazies busy with distractions, and also keeping them voting for you even though you don't really agree with them.

I was just going to link this!

People all over the world are pissed off about something.

We have our own right wing Christian terrorists and always will.

But we have a structure in this country that does not do that bad a job--although gangland shootings go into the tens of thousands each year.

We just seem to spread out the terror.

NBC had a thing on last night about right wing radio terrorists.

I do know this.

The Islamic nuts can hang any act of terrorism on any number of books and pix and movies and blog comments.

Alas, the child rearing practices to which you alluded in passing serve to reinforce the underlying stupidity as it echoes from one generation to the next. Indeed, it explains a lot. Parenthetically, "bebe" is who *I date in France. "Bibi ", Israel's PM, once said he never really was much of a friend of Willard. (hint: Jews/Mormons, oil/water...) *prudently using a universal name avoids embarrassing exclamations in moments of passion...
