we are so f'k'd......

From CBS News :

Religious leaders close to the Republicans have high hopes that the White House will press for the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, enact a constitutional ban on gay marriage and, if the opportunity arises, make conservative appointments to the Supreme Court.

Robertson said his first priority is for Congress to disable the ability of “obnoxious filibustering” Democrats who stand in the way of conservative judicial appointments. “What I want to see is the filibuster rule changed at the beginning of this new Congress,” Robertson insisted.


So now a TV evangelist believes that he can change the rules of Congress!

At the core of the effort, social conservatives believe that secular liberals are forcing their values on America. “We have watched an erosion of our basic religious freedoms,” Robertson said.

Incredible!!!! By separating church & state and not using religion as a basis for laws, we are taking away their religious freedoms! So, to get back at us, they want to take away gay rights, women's rights and scientific advancements and are going to threaten bush until he does this. Surprisingly, he has not been talking much about these issues, but that doesn't mean he's not going to institute them.
