| #19 I've never been to any blog that didn't basically have a "management reserves the right to deny service (throw you out, have your post or comment scrubbed, etc.) for any reason or no reason at all" policy. Most all bars and many other public accommodations operate this way. As long as it isn't racial / gender discrimination, there's no law against operating that way. I really hate the faulty thinking that equates religious discrimination with racism, because you can, nominally (in theory) choose your religion. You cannot choose your race (though that doesn't stop some from trying). That some "races" (I'm of the opinion there's only ONE human race) seem ineluctably wedded to certain religions doesn't make religious discrimination the same as racism. It just doesn't... |

| #18 got to the party late tonight guys, but I just want to say I find you guys quite intelligent and witty, compared to other sites. gracious even in defeat. or even in de' feet Some actual adult discourse (well, mostly) carry on. periwinkle ribbon decorated clue bat indeed |

| #17 Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc. apparently are, though. LOL. Because it's commentary on the fascination by the media with cultural vapidness and stupidity, to the (deliberate, IMNSHO) exclusion of serious journalism? |

| #16 My clue bat is decorated with lovely periwinkle ribbons. It is nonetheless useful when needed. HAHAHA! Now that is the snark of the day! I did not read the article, so I don't get a vote here. But I do believe that other than war related issues, Religion needs to be kept off the burg. Last thing we need is all the crazies talking god and abortion, going to hell, and on and on. Its bad enough with the uber libs and their name calling. |

| #15 It was not appropriate for the Burg. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc. apparently are, though. LOL. |

| #14 So you use NAT. BFD I'm very confused, wr/etc. Is it your position that you can say whatever the fuck you want because of freedom of speech and, because you choose to use an IP masking thingy, you are willing to get many other Rantburgers inadvertently banned to maintain that right? Or are you saying something else in a way that I am completely unable to parse from the your statement #12? If so, what? Please state in succinct and blunt sentences. |

| #13 So? Won't do you any good? This non-public, very publicly exposed ip address is here when the same blog would get you and any other AoS 19 years in prison in many other places. So you use NAT. BFD Many, many other Rantburgers disagree with me: The expensive toys and troops are nice, but the most cost effective means of stopping Islam is conversion to Christianity. |

| #12 So? Won't do you any good? This non-public, very publicly exposed ip address is here when the same blog would get you and any other AoS 19 years in prison in many other places. It is ironic and etraordfinarily short sighted as to how such common threats are considered even realavent. The approach has NOT led to the capture of Bin Laden, has not stopped the ever increasing influ of Islam in the US, did not prevent the massacre of over a dozen unarmed troops at a military base only a few miles from my home, but one thing you sure can do is BAN the ip address of your fellow Patriots. Go for it! |

| #11 If it's not War on Terrorism, then it DOESN'T BELONG ON RANTBURG. Far too many of you treat Rantburg as the "silly link of the day" type of website. Look, it's a video of a monkey feeding a cat bananas! Har har har! Or here, a tour of St. Peter's Basilica filmed by a wall-climbing robot! Amazing! It's nice to have a vaguely related link once in a while, but a steady diet of WoT is absolutely required. Go elsewhere to post your junk links, God knows the internet has enough places. |

| #9 I have a broad tolerance for dissenting or non-mainstream views..... I will consider biased analysisIt is wrong on the geopolitics, wrong on the theology, and a complete waste of my time. It has zero utility as an explainer or predictor of world events. It's a recruitment tract for Christianity -- Pstanley Someone! Anyone! Please Help me to my feet!!!!! Whahahahahaa |

| #8 Sure thang Pstanley. Scortched earth certainly wouldn't apply here! It did at Hiroshima - Berlin and recently the World Trade Center and sections of the Pentagon reduced to burning rubble. Oh my, that was us! Therefore, I am left to conclufe that "it" has only just begun. |

| #7 I saw it and to label it "War On Terror - Operations" was a stretch to say the least. The piece attempts to fit current geopolitical developments and NEUTRON BOMBS into a framework of Biblical prophesy. I have a broad tolerance for dissenting or non-mainstream views; I will consider biased analysis, as well as inductive analysis. "If everyone is thinking alike then someone isn't thinking." - G.S.Patton However, (the infamous however) this wasn't so much an analysis as a heap paragraphs. It is wrong on the geopolitics, wrong on the theology, and a complete waste of my time. It has zero utility as an explainer or predictor of world events. It's a recruitment tract for Christianity -- the End is Nigh, so join up before it's too late. That is the only thread that unifies that jumbled mess. |

| #6 You have my full and unconditional support Besoeker. As well as the generations of Americans who uniquely saw fit that freedom of speech included theory. It is this generation that has lost it all together and that is why His "light upon the hill" that has shown through this once great nation is being taken away once and for all. |

| #5 Besoeker, we don't entertain the topics re: Islam here so much as we note them because of their relevance to the GWOT. |

| #4 Didn't see the post before it went, so can't say how or if it fits, but, as a Chisitian, I'm used to our views being toxic from the get go. That's how The Man said it would be. Mark of pride... |

| #3 I fully understand the concern. However, it is unfortunate that we entertain literally tomes of data here in the Burg with regard to Islam, moderate Islam, 5 pillars, radical Islam, Islamic clothing, heritage, customes, sex, pattern of life, education, etc, but the mention of an, albiet fringe Christian theory is deleted less than an hour following it's post. |

| #2 We'd prefer not to have overtly religious tracts posted. Could create problems knowing where the borders are down the road. Thanks. AoS |

| #1 Appears the borders of discourse have been reached. My apologies. |
