I admit that I started to see red while reading this article but I stuck it out till the end and found out it was a joke.

And its implications for the rest of the world are not baleful. All the world has to fear now is four more years of an America doing its damnedest to export the value that is at the heart of all of its people’s beliefs: that people should be as free to choose their own direction as the American people so joyously were this week.

"America is not about to embark on a biblically-mandated CRUSADE against the enemies of evangelical Christianity around the world. American soldiers will not be enforcing Washington’s imperium on your towns and villages any time soon. "

Well, at least not any time soon. LOL

The question is WHY have people come to fear Christian evangelicals??

They have been subjected to 40 years of anti-Christian braiwashing by the world socialists.

the last time protestant evangelicals took 100% control over a nation they created the US Constitution and the greatest, most free nation on earth.

Europeans are free today thanks to American Christians.

What the heck was that? Sounds like someone put a quarter in to buy a clue, but forgot to turn the knob, and is now shaking the machine viciously to see if something will fall out.

One country at a time.

My favorite part:

"They have come up with this: Mr Bush did not win because he convinced the majority of mainstream, sensible Americans that his policies were the right ones and that his values were their values. He won because his campaign orchestrated a massive turnout by evangelical Christians (read: fundamentalist bigots) who were motivated by their myopic moral outlook, especially opposition to gay marriage, to return one of their own to the White House. Mr Bush’s election, therefore, is discredited, not because of its reliance on the Supreme Court, but because of its dependence on religious freaks."


This is exactly the spin the MSM and Dems are putting on this. Good, the longer it takes them to admit their problems, the more we win.

Of course not. America has been embarked on a "Crusade" motivated by self-defense and a desire to see middle easterners quit strapping suicide bombs to their children.

As if such a thing as a "biblically-mandated jihad" existed.

This from a country whose greastest political agony of the month was about spanking.

for a country run by religious nuts, No, that would be Iran.

America has surprisingly liberal laws on abortion

I heard Michael Medved say that within a decade Roe v. Wade will be overturned, and abortion matters will be returned to individual states. May I live to see that. The federal government has no business in this one way or the other.
