Really, keep going. Because all you're managing to do here is dig yourself a deep hole.
I like how you assume that I'm an American Democrat. Because that assumption is pretty stupid as well as wrong. But go ahead with that and see how it works out for you.
As for your links, do I really have to go dig up accounts of riots in Christian countries. Because I can do that if need be. We can talk about how the kids at Michigan State like to set couches on fire after big wins and bang heads with the cops. They're predominantly Christians. Or we can talk about how Christians rape and imprison their daughters - not too many Muslims getting caught doing that. Hey, how about all those Detroit Christians that used to set their city on fire the night before Halloween?
Using anecdotal evidence to prove your point isn't going to do much for your cause.

Let's not forget the people who are the original subject of this thread: the militias, which, more likely than not, are conservative Christians. The more fringe of these are the ones who would do violence upon their own country via the red-baiting of democratically elected politicians and their policies. They are the ones calling liberal policies "socialist," despite the fact that similar policies are what made America great in the first place.
These people are a much closer threat to America than some Third World Muslim groups seething over American hegemony.
The paranoia of these militant groups in America who think that Islam and liberalism are the devil aren't so steeped in peaceful means either. But I give them credit for at least not acting out---yet, anyway. But this, after all, is the topic of the thread.
Will right-wing militia nutjobs lose their nut if Obama gets re-elected and continues Democratic government? What is the future of liberalism in a nation becoming more hostile to the idea of centrism?
