Why is BOR against Secular Progressives ?
I can understand why repubs or conservatives hate generic "liberals", but Secular Progresives is part of America and the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Secularism - calls for freedom of religion and religious expression from discrimination or intimidation.

I think most Americans respect other religions and their desire to worship other religions.

If BOR is going after only the Christian Conservative Fundy audience, that is a limited audience.

Progressives - led civil rights and women's rights, ended slavery. I don't know what he's got against progressives and it seems stupid.

1. Liberals hate God and you'll go to hell if you become one.
That's the point they want to get across in as many ways as possible. They want people to identify being liberal with being anti-religious so that everyone who goes to church will keep voting Republican.

2. Probably because
it's the secular progressives who call him on his bullshit. I don't hear any conservatives finding fault with his journalistic integrity, never mind the Christian Conservatives.

Billo wants to go unchallenged, no matter what he says. Look at how unhinged he came when Geraldo called him on his illegal immigrant BS. Usually, Geraldo is a willing participant in the festivities. Disagree with Billo on one thing and you are the enemy. Progressives disagree with him on just about everything so that makes us uber enemies.

3. My understanding is that BOR made up the term'secular progressive'
Or at least thinks he did. He just about wets his pants every time he says it. Then he mops up the mess with a falafel which gives him a sexual thrill.
