TFA: What are the real lesson of Iran for the USA?

1) Don't mix religion and politics.
2) Thank God for the separation of church and state.
3) The Republicans are utter hypocrites.

These aren't lessons of Iran; these are lessons we should have learned many times over from our own history (especially #3). And what conclusions do we draw from these lessons? Mine:

4) Any person who seeks to blend politics and religion is a demagogue.
5) Only fools and demagogues seek to legislate morality.

Tolerance

Literally and figuratively, the keystone of my fine state. Thank you Mr. William Penn, thank you.

Well he campaigned. That is all I an think of.

I see a lot of poorly argued reasons why this guy is wrong followed by a lot of retards praising this guy.

Remember kiddos, your enemies are evil and any comparisons you make between them and other evil people are completely valid!

Picture the harshest Old Testament laws applied at home and the harshest neoconservative military policy abroad and that would be America if the Republicans had everything they wanted. We'd be in three wars now instead of two - Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. It would be open season on domestic surveillance. Torture would be legal. Habeas Corpus would be a thing of the past. Women would be in prison for having had abortions. Gay men and women would be hounded and if they were murdered there would be leaders saying they had it coming. The CIA and FBI would be operating inside the USA to crush dissent. Blackwater (and other companies like it) would be taking over more and more military duties and operating internationally as a mercenary death squad.

Man, what a raving loon. no wonder the right tossed this idiot out on his ass and he found a new home with the left.

I don't believe Obama sought to bring his religion into politics. He was forced to, by three decades of social conservatives making public pronouncements of religious faith a litmus test for holding office. See Reagan, Ronald; Falwell, Jerry.

So if I'm to belive all the headlines I'm reading then....

Republican is the new Mullah

and

Democrat is the new Republican

so, by default

Democrat is the new Mullah!

As another Penn said. Tolerance means "to tolerate". Meaning you don't like it but deal with it.

Acceptance is a better word and way.

He might be a bit over the top, but all of the above had advocates on the Right circa 2002-2008. The fact that none of it came to pass or likely ever will is because of Left and Center opposition, not because no one on the Right ever considered it - though, to be fair, most of it is just about money and power - ideology is just a means to an end.

It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

Came from poverty to graduate from Columbia for his undergraduate degree.

Instead of going right to law school he spent 4 years as a community organizer, mobilize grassroots organizations within the city's poor black neighborhoods.

Obama was accepted to Harvard University's law school, where he graduated magna cum laude - with great honours - and was elected president of the Harvard Law Review, responsible for editing US jurisprudence's most prestigious publication.

He was elected as a Illinois state senator, elected to the US Senate.

Wrote and published two best selling books.

Ran an impeccable campaign to become president.

Elected as the first black President in the US

I've never met an Obama fan that can tell me what good their CinC has done prior to being elected. He is a media created politician that came out of nowhere, a puppet. His handlers are dragging this country down faster than GWB's handlers ever thought of doing.
Freedom will soon be something practiced by the very rich who can afford it, and the very poor who don't care.

He was an AA school choice, that was groomed by radicals.
He was selected as the editor of the law review. (AA again)
He had his opponent as state senator disqualified and ran unopposed.
He may have wrote two books, looking at Ayers writing and BHO's who can say.
He lied and made promises he could not keep all through his campaign.
And he still will not release any of his records, in spite of the last three presidents releasing theirs.
He's a puppet and a liar.

The answer to combating the spread of Islam in America and abroad is secular policies, not pro-christianity agendas.
