Oh there wont be burkas but there will be Blue Laws, forced religious instruction, a limitation of the first amendment, Religion as state law. Those all happened here in the past and those are the things we are fighting against in the Islamic nations. If the religious right can demand that only candidates that meet their criteria are allowed to run for office how is this country going to be any different?

Once again, a veiled comparison between Christians and the Taliban.

Quite the opposite of forced religious instruction. We believe in separation of school and state. With all schools private--imagine!: no more debates about prayer in school, creation/evolution, sex ed, phonics/look-see, etc. etc. Parents, students, teachers and administrators will work things out on a local level, school by school, class by class. And what is best will win the competition in the end. That's as far from forced religion as you can get.
