What issues really concern the American people today? I would argue that they care and worry about much more than married gays, terrorists inside this country and heterosexuals who get pregnant and have abortions.
One issue that is growing in the minds of the American majority clearly is this: Just how far does the so-called conservative, religious right want to take this country? Different groups have different goals, of course, but zealous, self-anointed, "Christian" leaders really frighten me.

I am not a Christian, but I am getting really tired of all this leftwing anti-Christian bigotry.
This guy is really whistling past the graveyard.
He's more worried about Christian zealotry than Islamic terrorism. He's right in the middle of mainstream America alright. Not.
The saddest part is someone pays this guy for his opinion...
How do you know?
I sometimes find these kinds of articles in clipping files I use for my work and laugh and share them with friends. Amazing how many of these zetigeist columns are completely wrong.
Wanting Americans to be concerned with your interests doesn't make it so, chum.
He is just a communist.
Then you're (1) not very smart, and (2) a coward. "Oh, those zealous, self-anointed 'Christian' leaders ... they may look at me with disapproval! Run away, run away!"
Suggestion: Put Barf Alert or Left warning when posting title.
Yes, you WOULD argue that. And you'd lose. You have proven that repeatedly.

This is an issue that is growing in the minds of the American MAJORITY???? I think not. I think this is an "issue" the dwindling MINORITY is trying to inflate. In vain, I might add. But diligently.
... zealous, self-anointed, "Christian" leaders really frighten me.
Zealous, self-deluded, anti-Christian snobs really frighten me. Or more precisely, BORE me. They're as predictable as the tides.
Rmember all those elections you keep losing lefty? This is why......
I'm an atheist, and it's getting up my nose, too. The only group I hear constantly harping on religion is the Left, and they're trying to scare me with it. I see no evidence people on the right are trying to impose religion on anyone (though their opinions are informed by their religion, but that's not at all the same thing).
The author is not only stupid, he's ignorant as well.
I don't know why the Left seems to think that anybody who takes religion seriously must be disqualified from participating in politics. I guess the fact that most of these people seem to oppose them is enough.
The Left in this country will come to rue the day the Supreme Court handed down Roe vs. Wade. Absent that ruling, the religiously informed portion of society would never have united against them. Eventually, Roe vs. Wade will mean the the death of the Left in this country.
Barf Alert, was Right!
I would like to say this toi the buttwipe who wrote this story. The ACLU scares the hell out of me, That and people like the your fellow buttwipe in California who thinks he has the right to take "Under God" out of the Pledge.
The left needs their bogeyman and this is the best they can do? There is more religious freedom in this country than any other country in the world (even the freedom to be an atheist). And 99.9% of Republicans don't want to change that, and even if they wanted to, it would never happen anyway. So what is the left really worried about? They're worried about being swept completely from power.
I'm Unitarian and it's too much for me too. The left seems "oh so tolerant" of any religion other than Christianity. The left's eyes shut, brain closed bigotry is getting old...
"Our job is to reclaim for Christ, whatever the cost. As the vice regents of God, we are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors — in short, every aspect and institution of human society."
Substitute "Allah" for "Christ". Sounds like the Taliban. I don't want that.
I guess it's easier to go after groups that won't put a fatwa out on your sorry ass.
Such courage.
