I was responding to what you wrote...
"to my knowledge we haven't had many of these folks who have actaully made it into eleted office" - so now your are saying you agree that many radical religious right have been elected? Think of all the governors and state legislators and even school board members who have been elected and are radical religious right. We have a problem with school text books in this country because there are so many who want to have creationism taught instead of science.
