      Bush seems to think that he was ordained by God. Unfortunately, he's not the only person who thinks that. There are millions of people who think the Bush is God's agent on Earth. That scares me. It scares me a lot.

      But despite the growth and power of the Christian right, they aren't ready to do away with democracy . . . yet. Hopefully it will never come to that, but I expect the Republic of Gilead to appear in my lifetime, maybe in the next few decades.

          but religious pressure groups seem to have more leverage in the US than in most european countries.

            Dis :
            you think partial term abortion is okay


            So you think it's okay to ban it, even if it puts the mother's life at risk (the lack of that provision is what has shot down every such law that came to SCOTUS). Oh, and what exactly are you banning - there is NO such medical procedure.



            Main problem I suppose though is that this is not a simple yes/no question. It is more of a sliding scale. In that sense, USA will propably become more of a theocratic nation.

              Oregon made it legal in the last decade (and I gather is one of the few states where it is..)

                Long live our God Emperor Bush. May he smite the unbelievers and sacrifice their first-born children to Jeebus.

                          You got a problem with the concept of fate? Like the inevitable communist revolution perhaps?

                            The inevitiablity of socialism is propaganda, kinda like a football team saying "We will win!" before the game.
