I imagine they'll turn to violence next

Josh Marshall has the no-longer astonishing scene where Christian [sic] right activists disrupt a Hindu chaplain's prayer in the Senate.

"This is an abomination," [the first MBF] continued. "We shall have no other gods before You."

Splendid. Always something to look forward to!

I imagine they'll turn to bombings and assassinations next; although this time it won't be clinics and doctors in service of forced pregnancy; it will be liberals and other traitors who don't believe this is a Christianist nation.

Hey, it worked for the Israeli right: They shot Rabin, and Oslo died with him. And the assassin lived out his term in a very comfortable cell--after all, he was sincere in his beliefs--and even got married there.

Who wants to take bet on how long it will take the VRWC to argue that these lunatics were "provoked"?

I give it 24 hours.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Random term

Civility

n. Showing appropriate deference to authoritarians. Example: CBS brought a new level of civility to American political discourse by cancelling a mini-series on Reagan that wingers deemed insufficiently hagiographical.

I support Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Americans United is dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
