Republicans of the Christian right lament the loss of their religious liberties. Actually what they are lamenting is the slow demise of their power to control the rest of us with their religious bigotry and exclusivity. The Republican candidates this year are pandering to this vocal minority. Their desire to legislate morality for the non-vocal majority threatens to return us to the Dark Ages. Unfortunately, so many liberals fail to see the real danger here. From my own experience among fundamentalists, I know how insidious and malicious these folks can be. Far from harmless, these folks wish to control our lives, all the while promoting--hypocritically--less governmental interference.
These Republicans really do want to interfere, especially when it comes to issues of sexuality. Here they want absolute control over women. What is it with old white men that so fascinates them about a woman's uterus? I wonder.
