Remaking America in Falwell’s Image
Found this at Right Wing Watch...

Besides taking a full load of classes, Ayendi has been putting in 40-hour weeks on behalf of McCain. She makes phone calls, canvasses, operates a database of student volunteers, uses Facebook as her bully pulpit and will talk to anyone about how she thinks that Obama's promise to redistribute wealth is an affront to the Constitution. The campaign has galvanized her friends and served as an excellent primer on what lies ahead in their adult lives.

Ayendi and Allen playfully dog one of their Liberty friends for wanting to go into the seminary.

"If you want to get anything changed around here, you have to go through the courts," Ayendi says. "You gotta be a lawyer."

Totally, Allen agrees. "My goal is not to make laws Christian but to make government as small as possible so you can be as biblically Christian as you so choose," she says.

Both plan on spring internships abroad and then law school. But an Obama victory would not send these them into the wilderness. To the contrary, the fight would begin anew.

1. "so you can be as biblically Christian as you choose"
So much for America being a free country where the rest of us can choose what we want to be.

3. Thanks for the offer cynatnite,
but I think I'll pass. LOL I lost my suite of armor the last time I voted.

Besides, I thought they were going to use the guillotine in front of the library and stoning in front of colleges, especially in front of the Science Departments. But I guess it's all the same in end unless you can provide your "Biblically correct" ID card. Damn! Well, I better try and buy a fake card because I'm rather fond of my head. ;-)
