Read this and weep.

Then spread it far and wide.

During the Taliban rule of Afghanistan the world got a good look at what happens when religious zealots gain control of a government. Television images of women being beaten forced to wear burkas and banned from schools and the workplace helped build strong public support for the President's decision to invade Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11.

But even as President George W. Bush denounced the brutal Islamic fundamentalist regime in Kabul, he was quietly laying the foundations for his own fundamentalist regime at home. For the first time far right Christian fundamentalists had one of their own in the White House and the opportunity to begin rolling back decades of health and family planning programs they saw as un-Christian, if not downright sinful.

November cannot come soon enough.

I see you have the courage of your convictions to the point where you don't have the balls to sign your comments. Nice.

Anyway, I suggest you read the First Amendment regarding the establishment of religion in the government. Then realize that we aren't talking about faith, we are talking about the misrepresentation of scientific facts. Not conjecture, but facts that have been confirmed in study after study.

I'm sorry that reality disagrees with your little worldview. I have news for you: thunder and lightning aren't caused by some deity being angry. Amazing huh?

And who mention Clinton? The man hasn't been President since 1/20/01! Is Bush so damn weak that the only way you can defend his policies is not be actually defending them, but instead screaming "Clinton!" instead of providing facts? Pathetic, really.

Feel free to reply, but sign your post with a name.

Oh, and the form you were looking for in the Subject line was "You're". Happy to help the ignorant.
