I wonder if voters understand what a McCain Presidency will be like.

We all know what will happen if McCain/Palin will win.

A White House COMPLETELY in debt to the likes of James Dobson and Tony Perkins and the rest of the extremist sects of the political spectrum.

Political appointees...Cabinet selections...that will reflect the same mindset of Sarah Palin and her ideology. Adminstration policy geared towards pleasing that base. And if you think federal judicial appointments...including the Supreme Court...are bad now, wait until a McCain/Palin White House is reality.

I hope that independents understand that in November.

The Establishment Clause will mean absolutely nothing.

I never ever thought I say such a thing, but if McCain/Palin are elected, the next four years will be exponentially worse than the last 8. Especially if McCain dies.

:tinfoilhat:

Yeah, I know, my tin foil hat might be a little tight, but what's a little murder to the fundies to get what they want? The fundies want the White House so bad they are drooling at the prospect. If McCain wins, this will be the closest they've ever gotten to it.

I just read "American Fascists: The Christian Right & the War on America" by Chris Hedges & these dominionist groups are terrifying! Here's a link to the non-fiction book forum discussion on the book. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=209&topic_id=5027

Every American, Christian & otherwise, believer & non-believer, should read this book. All of us need to stand up & speak out against these people. There is no reason for us to tolerate their lack of tolerance.

Hedges final plea:

"I do not deny the right of Christian radicals to be, to believe and worship as they choose. But I will not engage in a dialogue with those who deny my right to be, who deligitimize my faith & denounce my struggle before God as worthless. All dialog must include respect and tolerance for the beliefs, worth and dignity of others, including those outside the nation and the faith. When this respect is denied, this clash of ideologies ceases to be merely a difference of opinion and becomes a fight for survival. This movement seeks, in the name of Christianity and American democracy to destroy that which it claims to defend. I do not believe that America will inevitably become a fascist state or that the Christian Right is the Nazi Party. But I do believe that the radical Christian Right is a sworn and potent enemy of the open society. ... All Americans -- not only those of faith -- who care about our open society must learn to speak about this movement with a new vocabulary, to give up passivity, to challenge aggressively this movement's deluded appropriation of Christianity and to do everything possible to defend tolerance. The attacks by this movement on the right and beliefs of Muslims, Jews, immigrants, gays, lesbians, women, scholars, scientists, those they dismiss as 'nominal Christians,' and those they brand with the curse of 'secular humanist' are an attack on all of us, on our values, our freedoms and ultimately our democracy. Tolerance is a virtue, but tolerance coupled with passivity is a vice."
