#10 is the beginning of the current Texas Constitution

I think, alas, I have figured Cultural Jihad out.

He seems to support making the US a theocracy, otherwise known as "obey we who speak for God...or else."

The idea that people might want to *choose* whether or not to follow God -- that is, that they may want to exercise their God-given Free Will -- seems repugnant to him. Otherwise, he would not react so...over-the-top to any hint that people might not like being told what to do all the time, even if it is for their own good.

An alternative view might be that he supports Tyranny of the Majority, but only if the Majority is religious in the way he supports. I *suppose* this is a slightly better form of government than a theocracy, as more people are involved in making decisions, but there is still no means of redress if the Majority errs and commits an injustice.

Oh well. He should be more happy with the future statist government than he is with the current one.

[Cultural Jihad]

It is understood that people have a right to determine what kind of a society they are to live in. Furthermore, people have a right to alter or change their government at will. That is freedom. But no one has a right to commit murder or insurrection against a lawful government. If the ideologues are trying to claim that because they got a speeding ticket last week or were forced to pay child support or were busted for drug trafficking and can't legally vote or own weapons and that they have a "Constitutional right" to drive, work, imbibe, or shoot unhindered by any so-called "jack-booted thug," then they are really just criminals trying to hide under the Constitution. Conservatives do not allow scoundrels and criminals to so seek shelter.
