Actually FSU, if it comes down to a choice between "religion" that advocates liberty and equality versus "religon" that advocates theocracy associated with racism and violent fascism, the first sounds an awful lot more American than the second. You really want Ayatollahs in America?

Where Have I Seen Sarah Palin Before?

I grew up in Iran and immigrated to US to avoid living in a theocracy. Lately though, the trajectory of US politics is like the Ayatollahs. Sarah Palin was much better dressed than the average show mom paraded on Iranian TV more than 20 years ago. The show moms were typically dressed in a black veil. But that’s about the biggest difference. The rhetoric was eerily familiar. When she was finished, I knew I had seen her before. Only that it wasn’t her. It was her ideological predecessors at a different time in a different country.

  I recommend you go back to Iran, your country you undoubtedly helped to make what it is today.

    Lovely. Con tolerance and cultural sensitivity at its finest. ;-)

    Well tired, with that you seem to show us that you don't know how to read (at least with your eyes and mind open). Had you read the article, you would understand that I was not the author.
