Why is it a Christian willingness to go to war- I don't see that anywhere either. That is a mocked up construction in the minds of some people- not based on anything or anyone I know.

So - what about Non-Christians willingness to go to war- seems just as relevant.

It's the reality of our current "faith-based" administration. The one that has documentation from day 1 in office that they were actively looking for a path to war with Iraq. Not looking for ways to minimize the threat, not looking for defense against attack, looking for ways to start a war. Not spin, reality.

And that means they LOVE war- and that anyone who happens to share politics with them does too.

Check.

Though I doubt the premise.

Does anyone believe there will ever be a "meeting of the minds" as it were ever again- I feel as if the differences that divide us in these matters will divide us forever. The democrats will never bring us together- nor has the GOP. I suspect that those on opposite sides will never be able to truly work together or come together-

As long as there are people who would rather approach things as "Liberal issues" vs. "Conservative issues" rather than "Issues", no.

I don't think that will ever change.

I did not say that GD- I never said "well other people want to go to war."

What were you saying about let's pay attention what Kerry ACTUALLY said- not an "interpretation" of it?

That's EXACTLY what you said. The question was, "Why would Christians, who believe in the teachings of Jesus, be willing to go to war," and your response was, "What about Non-Christians who are willing to go to war?" Can't be any clearer.

That's rich.

I did not say- "well other people want to go to war" - I just turned the question from the so-called Christian willingness to go to war- and asked if there was a Non-Christian willingness to go to war.

I can't begin to imagine how you can tell me what I meant and insist it is clear and accurate- yet turn around and insist that everyone who thought what Kerry said was outrageous and inappropriate are all wrong.

Right, so you avoided participating in the conversation by turning it to an entirely different subject. Glad we agree. Just like you, and everyone else who is outraged about Kerry, took what he ACTUALLY said, changed the meaning, and created the outrage based on that. Now that we're all caught up...

You are going to twist this however you like.

Have at it.
