From she with the guts of puppy, [livejournal.com profile] kitblonde, another great column from St. Pete. Emphasis mine.

But the last election demonstrates that a core of Americans want the very concept of church-state separation back on the table and they are now firmly in charge of two branches of the federal government and a majority of the states. To see what this side is thinking, I recently spent a day watching Christian broadcasting. What struck me most was the emphasis the preachers and talk show hosts placed on the need to get religion into government. They were positively obsessed with it.

Similarly, check this Christian Science Monitor article.

I tend to agree with the point that if the radicals are too gung-ho they'll harm their agenda, but that Specter's chairmanship may be saved only because he owes Bush too much isn't that comforting.

But, at this point, I'll take what I can get.

(On the other hand, Joe Lieberman's point -- basically "If the Republicans are prepared to ignore their own succession rules over a pro-choicer, they'd better not complain if we were to force a pro-life Democrat out of the way when we control the Senate in the future..." is also a good one.)

My guts do wiggle. And I am quite oogie about this whole thing. Why, oh why, does no one look out for the interests of we quiet, law-abiding atheists?
