On the one hand we have fanatics (or fanatic movements) we must worry about. Then, on the other hand however, we must have some morals. I don’t believe morals should be legislated; but, there are a number of ways of limiting the influence of those that do try to change/ruin our American way of life. Any fanatic minority will not get my vote even if they disguise their movement that “it won’t hurt anyone” or “what happens in the bedroom is no one’s business”.

I would hate to compromise on any subject that has made us great over the years. For example, I am with the Clinton administration’s policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell”, or, “what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom”. If homosexuals want to live that way fine I say. But don’t tell me or any of my children about it. Keep it all to yourself and in your own bedroom. And I don’t want to know about their sexual preferences either in any public venue.

Families, believe it or not is how you and I got here–never mind whether or not disfunctional.

I agree with your concerns. I listened to the author on Fresh Air on public radio. It isn’t news but it is scary. Religion is the most used reason to go to war. Too bad so many miss the point of both freedom and religion.
