Who are the "Religious Right in America" and what exactly are they doing that makes you more afraid of them than the Islamic facists who have come to America many times (and publically stated that they will continue to do so) killing or attempting to kill the inocent? What makes someone part of the "Religious Right" anyway? I believe in God. Does that make me a bigger threat than OBL? Note that the vast majority of Americans are believers in God. Yet, I'm not seeing much in the way of Christians blowing themselves up to kill non-Christians. Guess I'm having a bit of trouble understanding your position.
Conservative Christians are whom I refer to when I say Religious Right or RR.
You don't have to blow your self up to assault freedom. Freedom of speech in America has been under attack by the moral police for quite some time by the RR. They love their right to practice their religion which is granted right under our constitution, but don't seem to give any respect to Freedom of Speech or that all men are created equal.
However they are the first to try to ban books or protest corporations when ever someone doesn't do everything they want or kneel down to their idealism. RR are the first to bash and attack people for their lifestyle, if it's different from what they think is right.
I could care less if you go to church every week and believe in God. I'm happy if you are happy. However I don't want some self proclaimed group acting as a moral police on my behalf.
I'm a big boy, I don't need the RR telling me what I should watch on TV or listen to on the radio. I don't need them to tell me what I can surf online. I'm an adult and can think on my own.
Thanks to the Religious Right, the number one priority of the FBI under Alberto Gonzales (the guy that can't remember anything) is to get obscenity prosecutions against webmasters whom run online adult websites.
You would think that maybe catching terrorist would be a priority since they keep trying to telling us we are all in danger of terror attacks. Nope the number one priority of the FBI under it's current leadership is to fight evil webmasters online.
Being I'm a webmaster and make my living online, that apparently makes me more dangerous than al Qaeda, according to this administration and the current A.G. Alberto Gonzales. I'd say the biggest threat to me and my freedoms as an American citizen is the Religious Right and their moral police.
