13. The thought of the Christian Taliban taking over our government scares the crap out of me.

It's why I will *NEVER* in a million years ever approve of the idea of a new constitutional convention. You think the OWS people are the ones who are going to change it? Hell no - the Christian right will be the ones getting their hands on it. And that's how Taliban style governments are created. Our constitution isn't perfect but it's the best we've got and I'll be damned if we let insane fundamentalists like Bryan Fischer and Pat Robertson enact Biblical law. If we're gonna ban Sharia law we should ban all hardcore religious based laws. Our founding fathers would not want our country becoming a totalitarian theocracy.
