Frank Schaeffer wrote a column for the Huffington Post entitled “The Real Lesson of Iran — Beware America’s Republican Mullahs.”

Is this THE Frank Schaeffer, the wayward son of the late, great Christian thinker -- Francis Schaeffer ? Say it ain't so ...

It’s not just ‘nonsense,’ it’s patently offensive.

He has a point laugh at these sociopaths, but first make them try and explain in detail what they want, this drives them mad, then laugh.

“It takes a certain kind of sociopath to witness great tragedy and then turn back to his narrow political talking points completely unaffected.” Superb writing.

Frank Schaeffer was a conservative herald back in the 1980’s. His father was a pillar of common sense.

It would be tragic if he has lost his way that badly.

I work with a SF Lib that's obsessed with the Palestinians. Any political argument always ends up at the Palestinian doorstep. We had a "discussion" the other day that invariably ended up with the Palestinians. I reminded him that he lives on what used to be Paiute Indian land until whitey took it--was he going to give it back? Funny, but I seriously thought his head was going to explode.

If the Christian right and the brutal ayatollahs are the same, then why does the left fight the Christian right with everything they’ve got, but appease the ayatollahs and defer to them?

Limbaugh might take this up for an occasional day of entertainment, making liberals explain themselves in detail.

This is going round and round the boards,that libs are protsting and conservatives are killing them and also thise “beware the religious right”.
To shut them up and “own” them you simply bang back “whose standards are you using to label the “sides” in iran ? koran or the Constitution of the United States ? and exactly like them,demand a reply NOW.
Same for their scatology about the religious right/conservatives here in the USA .Simply ask them about the first amendment,and again—demand an answer.

they disappear.

Yes, it's that Frank Schaeffer. Apparently he went somewhat off his rocker after failing to become a successful film director. He directed four films in the late 80s/early 90s, all of which were flops and earned ratings below 5.0 on IMDB (their rating system is very generous, so a film has to be abysmal to fall that low, and all four of his films did).

In our decadent society, the easiest way for a conservative sub-mediocrity to earn praise and adulation from the “beautiful people” is to turn liberal, especially on social issues. So never let it be said that Franky doesn't follow the path of least resistance.

The libtards have to believe these things to justify what they would do to Christians here given the chance. Stay Safe!

Campion’s Law!: “As a FR discussion lengthens, the probability of a libertarian or atheist FReeper comparing a Christian FReeper to al Qaeda or a Talibanic theocrat approaches one. Any FReeper who compares their opponent to al Queda or declares their oppenent an advocate of a “theocracy” has automatically lost that point of debate.”

Exactly.

The left, historically, and even in some of their more honest moments today, have a desire to kill their ideological opponents.

They’re just looking for justification for their bloodlust.

Beware, though, when they feel they no longer need justification.

Yeah, THE Frank Schaeffer, the one who thinks he created the Moral Majority and is now flagellating himself in remorse.

Frank Schaeffer is of course the son of the late renowned Protestant philosopher Francis Schaeffer who converted some time back to Eastern Orthodoxy.

Sounds like he'd fit in just fine with some of the Orthodox on FR who also see "western" chr*stian Republican "ayatollahs" everywhere.

Post of the day!

The only time the muzzie extremists are ever condemned is by extension when they are used to hammer American chr*stians!
