Well, it's certainly possible. I haven't been over in that corner of town in several years. It's out of the way, and there's nothing there for me. But last time I was there, so was the church.

I read this pasted summer, that the church was moving because they were offered a pile of money by someone that wanted to build on the site. Did that fall through?

Beats me. I didn't know anything about it. It would be a shame.

It's still there at the moment. I pass it on my commute every day.

You live in DC and work in Arlington? That's backwards.

Falls Church, actually. The reverse commute is nice.

I believe that the Church should take over Welfare duties and maintain a Nation's Armed Forces, as well as legal dealings and a high court. The Sectual State exists to educate, build public works, and maintain order.

In what way is the Church having control of Welfare duties, Armed forces, legal dealings and high court, different from an Islamic state where their religious body governs legal and military aspects of life?

Personally I am against the Iraq war on the basis that Arabs can not have a democracy, nor do they deserve freedom paid for in Christian blood. That does not mean that I did not go down to the Recruiting Center yesterday and discuss my enlistment options in the Reserve. Because I was not born in America I take pride in being an American, perhaps patriotism should be something you should look into.

You take pride in being an American, yet you would change the most fundamental tenet of American existence (government by the people, for the people) and you denigrate Arabs as not 'deserving' freedom and somehow being incapable of democracy, yet you suggest you would like to see democracy replaced with theocracy.

You are one confused fellow. Ignore that comment about your being like UG. UG is consistent and coherent in his arguments.......blatantly wrong most of the time, but at least he makes sense.

I'm a Theocrat, I support a Theocratic state based on Judaic Christian law. Democracy is weak and when the mass of Americans are uneducated it simply does not work. Arabs can not function in a democracy because they have been ruled by kings for the pass thousand years, they do not understand the workings of democracy and it is not their culture. Also Saddam was very helpful in doubling the value of my French investments. I'm a proud American and would like to see America survive to see another day, with the weak people who inhabit this nation we can not allow a government by the people.

Wow! Your facts are just like statistics.

Those facts from history are a prerequisitie necessary to be a patriotic American. You want to see why Iraq is such as mess? Read David Halberstam's "Making of a Quagmire". Published in 1965, it makes the Iraq debacle and a potential American defeat obvious because it defines facts and concepts - not 'big dic' thinking.

BTW, to appreciate how so many here thought differently back then, review those many "The Cellar" discussions in 2002 and 2003 in Politics and Current Events. Appreciate how obvious Iraq was back then and how much so many here have changed in the past year.

But then in 2002 and 2003, support for a mental midget president was based more in emotion - little on what we all should have learned from Nam. I repeatedly cite those post not to tout my horn - but to remind the so many Cellar Dwellers of how their own mindset was their own worst enemy - and therefore why they supported this lying president's war. Learn from your mistakes because history says in 30+ years, another anti-American president will again try to screw the world by wrapping himself in lies, Limbaugh propaganda, and the flag.

Any chance it is a hard-on for Pelosi .... scratch that thought.
