Indeed. Been listening to Randi Rhodes radio talk show while waxing floors, and she encourages opposing voices to call in. She asks a fundamentalist caller, who professes that "God send Bush to lead us", what the Christian stand is on this new bill, legalized torture, and indefinite detainment due to suspension of habeas corpus--and the answer is the same one I keep hearing: "Well, you have nothing to worry about if you behave." Ghack! She just hung up on the caller with a, "well I guess its just not possible to have dialog with some people". :lol: :shock: In my secret little dream world, such a liberty hostile dominionist attitude would be punishable with public dunking...or somethin
