I think at the current time, the Christian Right is unstoppable and this is something we are just going to have to accept.
LOL, I seriously doubt it. Oklahoma has been stopping the Christian Right most of the time ever since at least 1999 when they couldn't get Penthouse magazine and the movie the Tin Drum banned. Later in 2004 they couldn't put a stop to allowing Indians to own and run casinos. As a result, today, Oklahoma has the biggest casino in the nation. The beginnings to stopping the Christian Right in Oklahoma can be traced back to 1959 when they couldn't stop repeal of alcohol prohibition. A rare but noteworthy exception was their victory to ban same sex marriage in Oklahoma. Many Oklahomans don't appreciate the Christian Right telling them how to run or not run their lives or decide for them what individual personal liberties they can have. A recent head of the Oklahoma Republican Party got booted out, because he thought that personal liberties should be based on what you should do. I hope he's staying out of Republican politics.
I only seeing the Christian Right at the most getting abortion banned in some red states. And then it will be interesting to see how long that stands. As I've said before, the Chamber of Commerce lobby as well as other lobbies are likely to successfully stand up to the Christian Right.
Ahh, anecdotal tales replete with the straw man enemy.
In a very narrow world - focused solely on a state that represents barely more than 10% of the U.S. population, of which only 70% is adult age, flyover country no-less - which we all know does not count - .
Can't wait to hear the stories of people being thrown from buildings.

I just heard about these new 9th circuit court judges. That is more important than the Supreme Court in my opinion because of the history of obstruction and time wasting when they block everything this administration does which eventualy gets validated by the SC.
From Fox News website:
By contrast, President Barack Obama nominated a total of 55 circuit judges who were confirmed over eight years -- and Obama's nominees were, on average, approximately ten years older. The White House has dramatically transformed the 9th Circuit, a powerful court with jurisdiction over nine states and Guam that has long been a thorn in the president's side.
How is Ruth Bader Ginsberg's health, by the way? Flu season is always bad for the elderly. Just asking for a friend.
You guy’s track record is a LOT worse than simple beheadings. It would make the Musllm’s track record look tame by comparison.
The ethnic cleansing of the North and South American continents and the Holocaust alone puts Apostolics in an elite class of brutal nihilists (oh the irony) of their own.
The Christian Right has won the culture war. In just a few years, the "Moral Majority" has gone from being declared and assumed irrelevant to being the most powerful force this country has ever seen.
this guy is gay. You should be ecstatic.
