By saying 'stop right there' isn't like telling them to shut the fuck up. It didn't sound to me like the OP yelled at them.

I believe in conversations where all participants are respectful and open to an equal exchange of ideas. Even if the original OP did present his words in an abrupt manner I can see why. We have tolerated the assaults against our freedoms, wars, intrusions by government, torture, killing of 5,000 of our soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and a massive deficit all supported and cheered on by conservative extremists and religious right fanatics. They had eight years to bath in all the horror they brought to the world and I believe they should be told THEY are responsible for it. But they don't care about the carnage they supported. They don't care about the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis they caused. After all, the people they killed were Muslims. You can bet your life that if Iraq was inhabited by primarily Christian people the Bush Regime would never have gotten the support they did.

It's about time we inform those who are all participants in the evil violence and attacks against people inside and outside our borders that they are responsible. It's time we educated them what the consequences of their irresponsible actions were. The blood of hundreds of thousands is on every right winger who mindlessly voted for Bush, especially in the 2004 election. But right wing Christians don't give a damn about the qualifications of any candidate. ALL they care about is if the person is prolife. That is their only requirement. Look at Bush. He was totally incompetent through life, as governor and as president but they still idolize him. In the 2000 campaign Bush made a point during a debate by saying his greatest philosopher was Jesus. That's all it takes to dupe a religious fanatic into voting for you. It doesn't matter if you never walked in the footsteps of Jesus or lived by any of his teachings. It doesn't matter if you start a war based on obvious lies against a county which never threatened us.
