    As I said months ago. In a war between the diet version of something and the pure version, the diet one always loses.

    It wasnt about a secular government and freedom to not worship, it was about the rules being relaxed a bit. You don’t fight to the death for showing your hair you fight to the death for sky-daddy.

    Until they are willing to burn korans they will continue to live in a theocratic state.

        Well the republicans aren’t the diet version of anything. 6 years ago they were diet nazis and now they’ve gone full removed nazi.

          I’m not debating anything you said, just making conversation. I liked your idea of diet vs. pure, but wasn’t able to figure out if it fits into American politics as they currently exist.

          I think it doesn’t, because Dems aren’t very well characterized by the “pure/diet” dichotomy.
