Usually Seattle is more tactful, as it comes across as defecating where one dines.
He doesn't have to appreciate Romney and he can dislike him because he's Mormon, but he's the first to make the Nazi connection with somebody who has basically been seen as a decent man.

I think Bush has tried as hard as he can to abridge the Bill of Rights, and would go much further if he could. Americans' greatest failing is that they take their liberties for granted. Their collective igonorance of history is such that they hardly appreciate that our system and its attendant privileges is a freakish exception in history, and probably doomed ultimatley to go away.

Well anything villiany must be blamed on Mormons and religious faith. We know those without faith, sans Hitler and Stalin and Mao, never committed any crimes.

Hitler, Stalin and Mao practiced religions called fascism and/or communism. These bore all the traits of religion, including the professed good intentions.

You are going to have to flesh out a bit more what those traits are that are identical with fascism and communism (while distinguishing atheism).

The state religion of Stalin's Russia was Atheism. It is every bit as much a belief as any form of theism.

Just admit you're out to lunch on this one, and cut your losses or you'll come out looking like Rocky on grapevine. Religious people are no more likely to undo the Constitution than nonreligious people are. Your question was intended to be inflammatory and absurd. If you believe there's any truth to it, then you must on meds or something, or in need of an early morning scotch, friend.
