It is the end of the nutball Christian right. Here is your proof. To go


By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist


Hey, remember the angry evangelicals? The quivering clan of militant Christoholics who propelled Bush into office and seized the national narrative for a few terrifying moments about five years back, ran deep into the woods with it and rubbed it all over their naughty bits in a frenzy of fear and confusion and lust for all things homophobic and saccharine and spiritually denigrating?

Dying. Nearly dead. Gasping their last. Very soon to be a footnote, a caricature, a gag, a punch line, blasted to the dustbin of history like dried housefly limbs after a sneeze. You should know this now.

<snip>

Rejoice, won't you? For their time is over.

Did you know the AFA recently boycotted McDonald's? That's right, this once semi-powerful tub of right-wing brain-caulk recently declared a comestible fatwa against America's foremost purveyor of toxic foodstuffs because, apparently, some high-ranking McD's VP just joined the board of directors of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, which, to the AFA, somehow translates directly into free pink condoms and mind-controlling rainbow flags in every toxic God-fearing Happy Meal.

8. So, who does the M$M put on TV when they want "the religious viewpoint"?
I generally agree with Morford, but not in this case. The M$M always puts some Christofascist on when they want to get "the religious viewpoint", the amount of free publicity they get is mind boggling.

These people are worse than vampires, you can drive a stake through their hearts and they just keep on coming, empty an AK47 with silver bullets into them and it doesn't slow them down.

10. There are no replacements
Young people are either secular or if they are evangelical they care about progressive issues like poverty and justice as much as gay marriage or abortion.

There is nobody to replace the christian right, thank god. As they wither out nobody will come in to replace them.

11. Not to piss in your punchbowl, but
Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 08:03 AM by old mark
I am convinced we have a certain number of these jerks always with us, and they are just waiting for the next prophet to lead them anywhere they won't need to think.
They will turn up again, later in our narrative.

But they won't be running the nation again for a long time, I hope.

16. They'll always be with us
There are always going to be fascists in the US, but hopefully they will not have the strength to overtake the nation like they do now.
