Secularist reign of terror ... vs ID
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/21/AR2005122101959.html

'"This decision is a poster child for a half-century secularist reign of terror that's coming to a rapid end with Justice Roberts and soon-to-be Justice Alito," said Richard Land, who is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and is a political ally of White House adviser Karl Rove. "This was an extremely injudicious judge who went way, way beyond his boundaries -- if he had any eyes on advancing up the judicial ladder, he just sawed off the bottom rung."'

<sarcasm>And the evidence of this secularist reign of terror are the many mouldering bodies of Christians murdered by marauding secularists, the many churches in flames, and the mass bankruptcy of Christian businesses, that we see all around us. </sarcasm>

The problem of rhetorical hyperbola like this is that it encourages hyperbolic action. This is a call for a reign of terror AGAINST secularists. Be very afraid.

2. That would Make Secularists...
...Terrorists. And as such, subject to Jesus W. Smirk's unlimited powers of extra-constitutional imprisonment for "enemy combatants."

Lock up the scientists!

See how easy that was.

3. So typical
Similar to the war on christmas bullshit, the reich wing is once again claiming the opposite of a situation. Secularism is under attack in America, not Christianity. Yet, they victimize themselves and then will justify a backlash against secularists... Brilliant...evil, but brilliant.

4. Hey, a judge who is ruling on a case
with no regard to his future advancement "up the judicial ladder"...he must be an Activist Judge!! No, I'd say he's a man of principle and proper education. These ID and creationist lunatics are probably doomed to extinction. If only it could be sooner, than later.
