Is that a bad thing if you think about it I think a weaker federal government would be good for America.

Whether it would be or not, theocracy is not the answer. Ever.

All depends what religion the theocracy supports.

Quick, name a democratic theocracy that did not crumble under it's own corruption like Rome did.

Go.

No, it really doesn't. When imposed forcibly on an entire society, any organized religion has the propensity to be oppressive, violent, and dogmatic.

"Has the propensity?"

More like "is guaranteed to be."

I'm assuming you don't understand why the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were replaced, and why we're not on a gold standard.

Which is okay. It explains why you're willing to swallow Ron Paul's dishonesty (he's a smart, educated man, so I assume he's being dishonest rather than just clueless) on things that already failed in America.

Ron Paul is not a dishonest man he is a patriot that loves his country and wants to help it not mess it up like the current president. Like you said he is well educated (Unlike some of the other Republicans) so he know what the hell he is talking about.

Can't have it both ways.

Either he's dishonest, or he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Either he knows why the Constitution was designed to create a stronger central authority, or he doesn't. If he knows, and argues against stronger central authority, then he's dishonest (and un-American). If he doesn't know, he's honest but ignorant.

Either he knows why a gold standard seemed like too much of a liability after the panics of 1873 and 1893, etc... or he doesn't. If he knows, and still argues against a currency tied to gold, then he's dishonest (and un-American). If he doesn't know, he's honest but ignorant.

Either way, the only job he should ever have in the White House is cleaning.

I was being generous.

Go.

Quick, name an actually democratic theocracy as opposed to an oligarchic one.

Exactly.

[Gauthier]

Your opinions are wrong, then.

Why? explain your reasoning

Well for one you could come up with an example of a successful oligarchy that's still around today.

Israel! I kid, I kid...

Maybe if the Haredis get there way, but even then women would be unable to vote, leading to the whole thing not being democratic. That's the whole point.

Not in the least. When a church has that much power, it's amazing how fast divine will becomes "Give the church leaders more riches and power".

Likud and Lieberman's far-right party (not the one from Connecticut) are bad enough. They argue Jordan is the Palestinian state, and that anyone who disagrees with any of Israel's policies is an anti-Semite. Read it in Netanyahu's book.

But I'm getting off topic here. Let's keep it to one far-right ultranationalist political party in this thread.

Give the guy a little credit. After all...

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[The Prussian Federation of German States]

It does matter what Religion because for example a Muslim theoretic state would be bad for the people because well good honest Christians would never harm anyone in the slightest.

[Death Metal]

I think the thing to take away from this, if nothing else, is that fascists and Ron Paul go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

I am being serious because muslims are more violent then Christians

Bullshit.

...Really?

Do you really think that?

Because either A) You're a troll, B) You're amazingly naive, or C) You never took world history in high school.

Bullshit.

No not bullshit because the Christians wanted to save the world from evil and Muslims just blow up building and put a jihad on every thing.
