Justice Sunday
That's right. If these crazy mothers have their way, that's where we're all headed -- up the friggin' smokestack. Anyone who doesn't think the United States should be ruled by an iron-fisted totalitarian regime of plutocratic theocratic Fascists better stock up on flame-retardant suits. According to this article in the Rolling Stone the Christian Right is turning in their pulpits for Panzers.
God save us, indeed.

No. The End Times are Near!
I heard about these guys before. I say we give them what they want - a war.
The newest generations' legions of sullen, self-obsessed brats could be strapped with dynamite and pointed toward the nearest enclave of Bible Commandos. Everybody wins!
Don't forget that you've got at least two superhuman men of Steel on your side now too. Yes, we will march on a road of bones. I can hardly wait.
The evolution of politics in the country never ceases to amaze me. Traditionally the protestants in this country have allied with the more liberal groups (nativists, even atheists, and libertarians) to suppress religions like Catholicism and Mormonism which they perceived to be a threat because of their allegiance to a centralized religious organizational structure that when you put your crazy glasses on looks like an allegiance to a foreign prince. Traditionally, Baptists, Presbyterians, Evangelicals etc. have espoused, (in many cases violently) a separationalist ideology claiming that the largest threat to America would be mixing religion and state. I think it is hilarious, and a testament to the warped state of our political climate in this country that people like Bill Frist would be caught mixing religion and politics. The fundamentalist Christian Right is the same group of people who put Hugo Black on the Supreme Court for Christ sake. ( See Everson)
Well said! My reading of Nazi German history shows that when these nationalist sentiments are wedded with religious fervor, the two bring out the worst in each other -- nationalism becomes ethnocentrism and religion becomes dogmatic state-worship.
These people aren't Christians and they aren't "Americans" in the strictest political sense. They have completely broken with the elements of belief that define "Americanism."
Everyone on both sides of the ideological divide need to realize that this hard-core right is literally out to establish a dictatorship. God has nothing to do with it.
