She's definitely overstating the consequences, but ironically, your fellow Republican seer posted this thread just a few hours earlier. And, uh...based on that and many more of his threads, let's just say that if a Republican like him ever got into power, I absolutely would fear for civilization.Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.--Isaiah 1:17

I also disagree with your characterization of seer's thread (and your *ahem* cheap shots), but that's not the topic of this one. Do try to stay on topic instead of attempting to put others on the defensive.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.

You're fear-mongering, just like San Fran Nan (hence the irony).

But luckily it won't happen."Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

And what kinda idiot uses seer as an example of an extremist. At least use me or Epo. 0/10 for effort."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

The prospect of you being in power doesn't trouble me at all. In fact, that'd be really amusing.
Meanwhile, the prospect of Epoetker being in power is so mind-boggling that I can't even begin to conceive of it. It's like trying to wrap your mind around the idea of actual infinities.Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.

Sure, but I noticed that you put quite a few people on the defensive yourself.
