RW Evangelicals find social tables have turned. Crocodile tears ensue.

CNN has a story by Thomas Lake titled "Fear and voting on the Christian right" where he explores the way Republican politicians use the fear of government and homophobia to garner votes. The article in itself does not tell us anything new - the big clown-car of Republican politicians deluding themselves they are worthy to be president are chasing the votes of the ever dwindling ranks of the evangelical right wingers. And the only way to win the nomination is to see who cam outflank his opponents from the right, competing who can invoke god, Jesus and bible in a more hateful manner.
Lake's article meshes the grand political struggle with a personal story of Richard and Betty Odgaard that closed their wedding chapel bushiness after refusing to allow a gay wedding to take place. The public backlash was swift and fierce, their revenue fell and even their children told them they are wrong.

It is an interesting story about paranoia,self righteousness, hypocrisy and the bitchiness of karma.

much more ...worth the read

2. I've seen it happen to two friends I never thought could be brainwashed like that.

Family and friends are stepping in to try to deprogram them, but they continue to believe the likes of Beck, Hannity, Rush, et al. These are intelligent people, but it is going to take a long time (or, an eye-opening event) to finally convince them that these clowns cannot be believed. By promoting this garbage, FOX is also a major contributor. I can't imagine how those commentators can sleep at night when they see their propaganda being sucked in by so much of the general public. And, yes! There are more people buying their lies than I ever imagined. If I'm seeing it in my circle of friends/relatives, imagine how many there are across the US.
