Reich argues that America’s only hope to defeat the coming theocracy is a Democratic Party willing to stand up to the zealots.

For several years Republicans have pointed to the Demonrats as an essentially godless group, perhaps with good reason.

Well, it should be clear to most everyone that our code of ethics as well as our legal code are based on Judaeo Christaina ethics. Thou shalt not commit murder is a good example. I doubt Robert Reich really wants us to abandon this code, not even for "seperation of church and state."

OTOH, I share his distrust of many of the evangelicals. More that a few have been charlatans, and those who are not, such as Jerry Falwell, definitely make me uneasy.

And Mr Reich will have the Patriot Act to use, next time the Democrats are in power.

If, as Reich asserts, the government should not enact legislation on the basis of moral grounds, then all social programs should be abolished. Isn't it on the basis of morality that government forcibly takes one person's hard earned money and transfers it over to someone else?

Reich has never been the same since he was kicked out of the Lollipop League

“Democrats should call all this for what it is – a clear and present danger to religious liberty in America,” Reich writes. “For more than 300 years, the liberal tradition has sought to free people from the tyranny of religious doctrines that would otherwise be imposed on them. Today’s evangelical right detests that tradition and seeks nothing short of a state-sponsored religion. But maintaining the separation of church and state is a necessary precondition of liberty.”

Liberal midget trying to rewqrite history.

Until around 1830, well after the Constitution was written, both Massachusetts and Virginia required that tax money be used to support Christian churches, Baptists in Virgina and Congregationalists in Massachusetts.

It’s a war on all who adhere to Biblical morality regardless of where they pray, a war to radically remake America – to turn it into a nation hostile to traditional religion and a Judeo-Christian worldview – and a war to establish liberalism as our official, state-sponsored creed.

It all boils down to forcing everyone to worship the state. And that state is expected to be ruled forever by their tin gods, Bill and Hitlery klinton. The klintons aren't admired by those people, they're worshipped. This hostility towards any form of relgion (except islam, which must not be offended) is indicative of a form of statism that considers itself to be the official state religion that must silence every other form of worship.

[Gritty]

Robert Reich is just another nasty little totalitarian man who wants his twisted version of morality to prevail!

Like others of his ilk, rather than try and prevail in the various elected lawmaking bodies (where it cannot) he pursues it relentlessly in the Courts, where the Will Of The People is neither a consideration nor a deterrent.

Did he say all this while standing on a box behind a lecturn ?... If so... Bwahahahahaha....

[international american]

Reich is from the Begala School of Liars.He even lied about his teaching credentials. He was a "lecturer" at Harvard, NOT a professor.

As I have stated many times, the Judeo-Christian religions are anathema to the left because they will not tolerate and cannot subjugate a people who answer to a higher power than the state. The only difference between today's left and the left of the thirties is that the new left weltanschauung includes a world without borders and uses the cult of the environment as the amalgum to meld the diverse interest groups into a power generating force, instead of the extreme nationalism of the German left.

[SerpentDove]

Religion IS ALREADY taught in public schools.

The religion of tolerance, political correctness, and humanism.
