If we had to take an IQ test to vote, most Demonrats would lose the right to vote.

Good piece. I've said this before, I'll say it again:

The US government is filled with Christians, since the population on the whole is majority Christian. So why haven't the Christians imposed this supposed theocracy already--how big a majority are they waiting for?

Now imagine all the Christians in government--including both houses, and I'm guessing the SCOTUS, and the White House--were overnight replaced by Muslims. How long do you think before we have a real theocracy?

The smaller the example, the greater its significance. And that trick is the intellectual class's gift to America.

NAILED IT!

But, truth is, lots of otherwise normal people believe this stuff.



"Stuff" isn't the word I would use.

could be seen as the democratization of intellectual dementia. Criticisms of President Bush, Christians, the right wing, the Patriot Act, whatever:

Well, I do agree that most of those examples are phantasms, except the Patriot Act and RICO statute abuses. Those are real and ongoing.
When those laws are perverted to prosecute prayer meetings and to punish "un-PC" conduct, the line has been crossed big time.

He doesn't get it. These leftist projections onto Christianity are made as a prospective excuse to justify visiting the equivalent upon Christians.

Worse, it is lefitsts who hold protected jobs in government agencies, wielding the same police power they supposedy fear, while imagining it in the hands of those who will never wield it!

Sometimes I think if Christians became the totalitarian monsters the left is afraid of, Western Civilization could be saved from decay and Islamism.

But instead, it is Christians that have nurtured liberal (in the traditional sense, not the current political sense, kids.) orthodoxy. Pluralism, tolerance, secularism, and free speech are only found in traditionally Christian dominated societies.

Where would the Jews, for instance, be right now without Christians? Exterminated.

Lots of wisdom in this brief piece, and a great last paragraph. A subject this large though, deserves an entire book. My take on it would have to include my perception that a great deal of this "paranoia" is just that, an ACT that deserves to be put inside quotation marks, because it is so trumped-up and bogus. The Left have become very skilled ACTORS, who can feign moral outrage at the drop of a hat.They can also, without blinking an eye, or dropping a stitch, project all their own shortcomings , sins of omission, and failures onto the opposition. And the oppositon couldn't seem to care less.
