More on the Extreme Religious Right
Thanks to Echidne of the Snakes for her excellent post.
It fits in beautifully with what Worried American and I have been discussing lately.

It is a decent piece, but I would like to shed some light on why the Left is perceived as hateful of religion. It is not just about abortion and homosexuality.
I cringe every time the ACLU files a lawsuit to take out the cross from government seals and monuments. It does not bother me to have them removed, but the ACLU is playing only into the hands of the Religious Right providing tons of fodder.
The Left should pick their battles wisely. I find the Religious Right's apocalyptic quest behind Bush's foreign policy extremely disturbing. People are dying because of this. Just look at the Middle East, but yet Bush is fiddling away with the Religious Right while Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel and Lebanon burn. Yet I don't hear a peep about the from the ACLU or the Democratic Party. They are too busy chasing crosses, graduation speeches and other silly symbols.

Worried,
I agree with you.
Jesus told Peter to put down the sword.
The fundies have not met a war that they didn't like.
Jesus reached out to the non Jews who were despised.
Christian fundamentalism is the bastion of bigotry and racism. Some of them have changed, only after the rest of the country has moved past its racist history.
Contrasts are stark, but they portray themselves as the focal point of God's kingdom.
