Debate with Conservatives

I have had a series of conversations with Conservatives, on the one hand, and angry Muslims on the other, about our political future.  These have been available only to limited audiences, although I think they have been quite useful.  This space is made available, so that the debating parties can engage me and one another about the political course of The United States of America, the Muslim World, and the future of our species on Planet Earth. Topics for discussion are listed below, with the accompanying thread. All readers may feel free to start of topic of your own. (N.B.  I will assume that your participation in this conversation constitutes your agreement to having your contributions included in any future form of Tsunami of Blood, including, but not limited to, a printed book.  I will provide attribution to the author, to the extent known.  I stand by my words.  By participating here, you demonstrate your willingness to stand by your words.  I believe anonymity is a cop-out in such discussions, substantially diluting the importance of what you say, BUT, if you choose to be anonymous, that's your business.)
