THIS IS THE problem with treating the religious right as though it were just another political pressure group.
It is, in fact, a thinly disguised movement toward establishing a Christian theocracy in this country.
A theocracy is not the same thing as a democracy. It gets its authority from God and not from the people.

This is not exactly a secret. One has only to listen to the broadcasts and read the literature. With love in its heart for the sinners -- that would be people who fail to accept Jesus as their personal savior and even some who do - -
and a calm conviction that they can be converted and saved, the Christian right wants to bring the kingdom of God to the United States, plus Guam, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

It believes it is doing us a favor. When we are singing laud all day and basking in the heavenly radiance, we will finally be grateful. John Ashcroft only wants the good to be happy.
He will smite evil in the name of God. "Enforce the laws as written?" Maybe he had his fingers crossed.
