re: #216 bloodstar

I know, and sorry if I seemed to imply that you were. ralphieboy made a good point that I think helps futher define my thoughts and I’ll throw out a hypothesis:

The current Religious Right in America will become more like Islam in their methodology and violence as their desire to merge governance and religion together fuses their belief that they are the only right religion with the belief that it is their right and duty to impose those beliefs on others.

There isn’t an equivalence right now, but I’ll put forth that there will be as the religious right continues down their path to extremism.

Agreed. Thank God for the Constitution and our Representative Democracy. I doubt the so-cons will get much further than they already have in imposing their political doctrine. They err in thinking the current political trends are support of their agenda and if they push too far they will experience serious blowback from a largely independent and somewhat Libertarian American electorate.
