>>Just Because You're Paranoid Doesn't Mean They Aren't Really Trying to Get You

Just as the Bush-Ashcroft-Falwell God Squad is striving mightily to batter down the door between church and state and invade the bedrooms and hard drives of law-abiding Americans, along comes New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof claiming the mainstream media has an "institutional bias" against the "46 percent of Americans" who are evangelical or born-again Christians.

Citing a December 2002 Gallup poll, Kristof writes that “Evangelicals have moved from the fringe to the mainstream, and that is particularly evident in this administration. It's impossible to understand President Bush without acknowledging the centrality of his faith.”

Evangelicals like Bush and Ashcroft and Falwell are narrow-minded bigots who believe the only path to a giant tailgate party in a literal place in the sky called heaven is through the complete acceptance of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the belief that the Protestant Bible is the infallible and only true word of God. All other Gods are false. All other religions are false. The only way a Jew, Muslim, or Catholic, for that matter, can attain heaven is by renouncing their false faith and accepting the gospel of Jesus. In short, like that of the Taliban and the mullahs of Iran, it is a faith built on intolerance and suspicion and even hatred of non-believers.

For months now, Bush has [been] stuffing scientific panels with religious quacks whose agenda is [to] set back reproductive and women’s rights by about 50 years. He has done everything in his power to limit choice and his Iraq obsession borders on religious fanaticism. He has said he does not believe in evolution and refuses to allow stem cell research that could help millions. <<

Most Americans may not be fundamentalists but (according to this one person's opinion) the president certainly is.
