No wonder religious extremists always make bad leaders

what exactly have i posted here that defines me as a religious extremist? because i state that i am a christian? ok, i hold those beliefs. at no time have i stated that you must conform to my way of thinking or condemned any cellarite who believes differently. how do my christian beliefs make me an extremist? by your standard is Elspode an extremist? we know a bit about what he believes. Wolf? Brianna? any of the others who at one time or another stated something that they believe in? i have stated very clearly that i believe one's religion is a matter of personal faith. i have my faith, you have yours. what about my faith defines me as an extremist?
tw, you want to say that i insult you but you are the one that lashes out in a personal manner. you label people without thought as to what the person says. you put words into my mouth without citing where i have said it. you paint me as a bush sycophant, ignoring the many times that i have come out and stated that i think he is a flawed man who is not the best choice for an american president. but because i did believe he was the better choice between him and kerry, i must be a delusional idiot, right?
i'm done debating the US response to the tsunami's with you because you refuse to look at the wider picture, instead focusing on short term commitments and off the cuff pledges of support, just as you only focus on the first 7 minutes after the planes hit the towers. do you believe that the US will only commit $35million total? or is it possible that we will have some long term commitment to help rebuild? do you think that those who plan and execute relief efforts may see a bigger picture and work within that framework?
let me ask you, tw - have you ever participated in a relief project? have you ever seen, first hand, what happens when you drop US troops in for a humanitarian effort? or do you get all your information from print and video?
i am sure that some mistakes were made and the response could have been better, but that is the nature of everything. it is always possible to do better. i never stated that everything was done perfectly. i only questioned the instantaneous bush bashing without any real alternative action plans. but you are obsessed with $35million. what dollar amount would have been appropriate? what should it have been spent on that first day? how many lives would extra money have saved? the reality is that most of the death happened in minutes. the coming days and weeks are important for the survivors and the relief effort is underway. many lives were lost, many lives will be saved.
not every world event needs to be turned into a political bashing. grow up. or give us another long, recycled "bush bad" "lookout123 stupid" post, i don't really care.
