There's a pretty strong contradiction there, isn't there, when you're listening to the Right Wing?
Mostly I'm talking about the conservative U.S., but you get it in Canada too.
On the one hand, we should be out there bringing democracy to the unenlightened. On the other hand, we're supposed to obey the religious edicts of their particular creed: no sex before marriage; no contraception; no abortion; crosses everywhere; evangelization. The list could go on.
If you read those posters at the anti-Obama rallies (and I'm talking about the crazy tea-baggers) you see a combination of people demanding their rights and people demanding that Christianity come to the forefront.
Obama is a Marxist, Muslim, Fascist thug! That's anti-democractic! He's taking our freedom! He's taken our rights! (not that we could name one of the rights he's taken) Now let us pray to Jesus and obey the bible-god thingie instead!
They don't actually want freedom. Religion and especially religious obedience are the antithesis of freedom.
I didn't vote for their god.
I don't even remember having an election.
He seems to be running the show though, and in an extremely undemocratic fashion.
The guy sounds like a Marxist, Communist, Fascist thug to me.
