I like to thimk of myself as a Southern Baptist who by supporting Barry Goldwater and every conservative candidate available managed to rescue the Republican Party from the RINOs who ruled it. Along the way we also managed to rescue the South from the Democrats who had ruled it completely for over a century.
We also helped elect Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and the current President Bush. If that makes us "suspect" then I am proud of being just that. By the way, you might want to look in the mirror. There may be a religious bigot staring back at you.
I don't think you understand my point of view very well. I don't think Southern Baptists or other religious fundamentalists living on our shores, are a threat to this nation, at all - nada - the null set, indeed if anything I think they are a net benefit, although I am a near atheist agnostic. That was is one of my points of disagreement with my brother. I think on that score he is too paranoid.
