for the American Taliban and Captain Gee Whiz to spin it like a scared cat on a merry-go-round.

The christian right has somehow convinced the people of Texas that the country is full of armies of Atheists, abortionists, and homosexuals trying to bring the country under the control of Satan. Though fighting this stupid law is tantamount to fighting segregation laws, I think also spending money on changing people's perception of the law in Texas is extremely important.

This is Bush's law. He gave the green light for this by his comments about gay marriage. Why can't this be used to show that the Republican party is the party that follows the belief of one man, GW Bush, and that Texas is the first stop for the rest of the country when it comes to molding the US into Bush's ideal?

Bush obviously by his actions is a homophobic bigot, has a cool disdain for black people, absolutely hates Muslims below the ranks of royalty, and displays an almost laughably backhanded attitude toward people of Latin American decent. That mirrors the attitude of a powerful contingent of Texans I imagine.

Perhaps if they were shown that this is how they are perceived and that an era of regression is bad for the whole country, the people of Texas will see the light beyond those on the stage of their flashy mega-churchs.

Or it could be an experiment in futility. I swear, my optimism is beginning to feel like a coelacanth swimming around in the pit of my stomach.
