3. Somebody has got to.
The religious right cannot continue to call those who are not republicans "communists, traitors, unpatriotic, unamerican, trash, and other derogatory terms" with impugnity.

The religious right has to be made aware that this country is a democratic republic and never intended to be a theocracy.

The religious right, most of whom I believe to be decent people, need to remember the Christ was not a capitalist, nor did Christ hate the poor because of their need, and indeed, openly stated to his apostles to go from town to town as beggars.

The religious right has to be told that their faith is supporting a regime of greed, shallowness, hypocracy and armaments.

The religious right has to be told that the only thing having protected them from being told, until now, that they are being used as an unassailable front behind which really awful people are hiding, is that the rest of us respected and did not want to interfere with their beautiful beliefs.

Somebody has to do it. These hideous acts hidden behind the innocent Christian right cannot continue....
