All I can say is unlimited term limits for Senators and Congress should be reconsidered.

For the sake of world peace, Americans should seek congressional approval for a military strike on Senator Lindsey Graham.
I agree, I knew my statements would shake the tree, but reality is reality and I spoke the truth. As for Iran, look it is simple, when you as a country say you want to wipe Israel off the map and kill all Americans you will get what you have coming.
You are not telling the truth. Your first lie is the wipe Israel off the map. This has been proven to be nothing but Israeli propaganda. Your second lie is the kill all Americans. Iran has always said if we are attacked then we will strike. Any nation that is attacked has a right to defend themselves.
Cut your crap please, don't be a hypocrite. Islam IS a nightmare religion, the only thing that keeps Judaism off that list imho is the fact that it is NON Converting and when you're talking about Christianity you're talking about the past it's held in check in both the West and the East by Government and the right of a populace to condemn it's more insane moments.
If you're not Muslim you'd never want to live in a society where Sharia law exists, don't be a liar and a follower any Western "care" for this religion is in vogue to be "cultural" if your neighborhood started turning to a place that operated under such structures you'd either move or fight back as would 95% of Europeans, Asians and North Americans
There ARE exceptions, places like India where the religion is mellowed but I am referring specifically to the Middle East and parts of Africa which are complete dung holes because of it.
All of the Mono religions should be brought in check if they aren't. It's not a Horror religion? Belief in an imaginary set of rules over science and sanity will be the death of the rest of us, to hell with this nonsense, There are Hindus and Buddhists and Agnostics and Spiritualists and Atheists all who ACT sanely and won't throw a damn mask on you and actually SEEK the Truth about our Universe... Once you have been Brain washed your screwed.
All the judges, all the lawyers, all the politicians, EVERY single last one of them removed, subjected to multiple polygraphs

Buster, all the words aside... people in general talk smack, okay? We say God awful things all the time about what we will do to them, they HAVE (some individuals) (some in power) said plenty and if not alluded to plenty of horrible things, to debate each point, translate things...useless.
In the end... The USA and ISLAM as a whole are culturally Imperialist BOTH
Will we Nuke anyone will they? all speculation... Words ARE spoken, deeds are done.
In the end this is about how you wish to live. Islam IS exporting it's culture and belief system around the world, mainly VIA innocent immigration, just like America is exporting it's culture mainly via TV and Internet and Commerce... There ARE Jihadis in everyone of those nations that behead, that rape, that chant death to America, There ARE Americans who are war mongers. They ARE the MINORITY for both cultures, but at anytime in either civilization the wrong guy in power could push that button.
Both actions are very real.
The ways of life are universally NOT compatible
All the rest of the TALK is bs...
This is NOT resolvable in the way capitalism and communism were, there was a middle ground there, socialist/capitalist like Star trek actually is a nice fusion imho... that's where we are going.
And we COULD because or daily values were not in competition, the way we LIVE wasn't truly at stake... things like how we are taught to LOVE and EAT and Live our daily lives weren't at stake...
Women in Burkas and lack of choice in who you Love vs... Western Romanticism, sexual taboos imho vs ideals of the dark ages. Science vs spirituality... these things are SELF IDENTIFIERS and people will fight to the death over them.
In Communism vs Capitalism the "World Was NOT At Stake" No one or very few truly believed that, it was...economics, lifestyle but not life affecting.
From both sides POV in this case the World IS at stake... Truthfully, I honestly feel that if the world and Law is ruled by religion and science and rationality takes a back seat human civilization is basically doomed or at best headed back to the dark ages... Likewise an Islamist thinks the afterlife is at stake, that we are damned if we defy Allah or practice certain behaviors...
There is plenty to criticize, all ways have their strong and weak points, but I am sure... the Non religious POV is correct, nothing is going to change that, Ever... my beliefs are based on science, investigation, laws that can adapt and change as society changes and technology changes things (even if too slowly sometimes)
And this junk is... Hogwash, superstition, dangerous. I am being fair to them, I see the POV. But it is mentally retarded and one side or the other IS correct... there either is a Mohammed returning with Mystical powers or NOT
I think most of us around the globe know the actual answer to that is NOT... The problem here isn't who will Nuke who, it's IF The Gap is coming to Iran along with Game of Thrones on HBO OR If Evolution is going out the door here, the Cable is going off aside from prayer meetings and you will be able to choose your own wife or not etc, etc...
And all I'm saying is... Russia and China and Europe and America and India... can all have varying POV's on how to handle it. When the sun sets at the end of the day...1.4 of 1.5 Billion Chinese won't go for Islam, mainly Atheists, 200 + million Russians won't either, nor will 850 Million of 1 Billion Europeans or Our entire continent practically.
In the end... this is the end of this type of religious bs, no matter how it plays out when the oils gone... this is a desert and some parts of Africa vs the rest of the world by philosophy and lifestyle and there is nothing there. China by itself has more men for the fray against this type of thinking than there are worshipers of Islam in the world.
It's a doomed culture.
