For precisely this reason.

4. let's not forget

the atheists.

We're on the list, too.

5. Yeah, but you can easily "convert"

Appearances will mean everything in the America Under God.

6. Yep, atheists and Jews: we be the canaries in the coal mine...

When they come for us, you can be sure that all the non-Fundie religions are next.

"The day that this country ceases to be free for irreligion it will cease to be free for religion -- except for the sect that can win political power.."--Justice Robert Jackson, Zorach v. Clauson

<edited to fix quote!>

And a Bonus Jackson Quote:

"In our country are evangelists and zealots of many different political, economic and religious persuasions whose fanatical conviction is that all thought is divinely classified into two kinds -- that which is their own and that which is false and dangerous."

7. I wish I thought you were kidding, Walt.

The truth is, I'm scared to death.

Many months ago, when the whole same-sex marriage flap reached its peak frenzy, I posted a rant in which I tried to express just how hated I felt.

I had NO idea then how much more hated I would feel today.

Call me paranoid, folks, but my gut says our days (us queers') are numbered in these Dis-United States. It wouldn't be the first time in history a once-reasonable nation rounded up the homosexuals and sent them to death camps.

The climate is too eerily similar. And Hitler was a Christian who trumpeted a "moral values" platform, too.

8. we are scared too
