Religious right is the New American Taliban
Under the code name code name "conservatives", the religious insane have capitalized on the 9/11 attack to impose their rule over our government.

Their claims to be the Christian foe to the evils of Osama Bin Laden are ironically driving us toward a form of government that the Taliban may eventually approve.

Here's an examination of this two-headed coin:

4. And the really sad thing is that the Jesus who they think would be on

Jesus was not political and even chided some of his followers on this very subject - He said to look unto God - not Ceaser (the governemnt at that time.)

After all, they're trying to overturn the Judical Branch of our government.
