Quote:How about after naive idealism, comes the deluge
Next stop, Dark Ages 2.0
As in the same "naive idealism" that informed our support for the Nazi-like "Contras" in Nicaragua, the nun-raping death squads in El Salvador, and even the apartheid schmucks in Rhodesia and South Africa, during the Cold War - or, for that matter, our "friendship" with Stalin, the second greatest butcher of all time (and first at the time) during World War II?
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
