No, we aren't the same guests. I don't agree that the Republicans are merely taking advantage of the religious right. The two most recent mass movements within Republican circles aren't just in bed together, they are married for life--and I don't believe it is a marriage of convenience. I believe it is a marriage of the minds. I know many greedy, mean, ruthless Christians. In the US, those people are all either Republicans or independents who never vote for Democrats, but would support a Ross Perot.

Religion is very much at the center of what the problems our nation and our world faces. The Christians have fucked things up so badly, they no longer deserve any power, anywhere in the world, whatsoever.

IMNSHO.
