[PEN-L] Terming U.S. war machine fascist

From: Carrol Cox I dislike using the words Nazi or Fascist precisely because I believe that, from a world perspective, the U.S. today is _exactly_ what Germany/Japan were in the 1930s -- _the_ most serious threat today to human well-being world wide. It is therefore crucial to make it clear to

Re: [PEN-L] Unitarian JIhad Communique

Yes. The big change occurred in the early 19th century, as Congregationalist churches (and at least one Episcopal one, King's Chapel near Boston Common) declared themselves Unitarian. At 17:05 19/04/05, you wrote: Didn't the Unitarian church evolve out of the Puritan church? -- Michael Perelman

From: Louis Proyect [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Then there is Ratzinger, aka God's Rotweiler, aka The Grand Inquisitor ... Chin-stroking Vaticanologists are suggesting that we're in for a delightful surprise -- a kinder, gentler Inquisition, I guess -- because God's Rotweiler has anointed himself

Re: [PEN-L] God's Rotweiler (from Jim Craven)
