They are trying to pull off FORCING their religion down everyone else's throat.
Perhaps you are unaware of the SC decision that Corporations can give as much money as they want to political figures' campaigns? Because, you know - corporations are "people."
If you work for a publically held company like McD's or WalMart ... you have nothing to worry about.
They are not a privately held business which is then considered the private property of the family who owns it.
Well, in democracy, the majority (however much you may disagree with them) rules.
I see anti-gay and birth control as your main points so is that it?
There would be no gay bars, no Hooters, no headshops and no liquor stores open on Sunday. Stem cell research and abortion would both be forbidden. Church would be a mandatory part of public education, and if you weren't a self-professed Christian with a history of attending services, you wouldn't get to vote either.
So no, we're not a theocracy.

Yes, and Obama's most important legislation - Obamacare - is fascist bill. Fascism is where the government controls the private businesses so tightly through regulation or other means that they might as well be government controlled. The means of "saving" the auto industry also saw government taking ownership stakes in two of the big three with union labor getting significant ownership stakes also. So, BUSINESS as tightly controlled by the state is a very big part of this administration. Are you contending that this administration is really a RIGHT WING THEOCRATIC one?

the MAIN POINT is that those people want to force everyone else (via government, business, media, arts & entertainment, religion, family, and EDUCATION) to go along with their beliefs.
It's not acceptable.
Why wouldn't Christians fight politically to maintain their position in our society/culture against an adversary that is trying to at best marginalize them? Why would they want to put someone with views like your own in public office or a position of authority/power?

So how is lobbying the Christian Right's fault? There are thousands of lobbyists, and groups that lobby for a voice in Congress, how are you pinning all that on the Christian Right?

Everything you write or you quote, I could take out Christian right and put in Leftists and it would apply just as much.

I think it could possibly be higher; I'm thinking there would be reduced costs due to basically getting rid of the bull# systems that handle claims currently, and replcaing them with something that is far simpler.
