Reply #61: SECULARISM with a capital S [View All]

[nine23]

It's just not in our political culture to LET 'EM IN. That's not to say we don't have conservatives - of course we do...they're just not RW Christian wackos, or if they are, we insist they keep it to themselves.

Here's what the public response would be like if a conservative Christian basket case hit the campaign trail and SERIOUSLY tried to bring hardcore fundy "values" into the mix:

Public response,

Campaign week one: "Aw, isn't that special. He sure does like his religion, doesn't he?"

Campaign week two: "Gee, he REALLY likes that 'ol time religion."

Campaign week three: "What's with this guy? He's not dealing with the issues, and he seems obsessed with hating everybody and everything in sight."

Campaign week four: "Nice try, freak. Get outa' here." (Entire campaign and political career goes crashing down in flames; removed to the dustbin of history)


I don't know how else to put it - it just can't happen here.



RE: "how long before our own RW Christians start to target Canada as being in need of some Christian Nation Building?"

Put it this way: You guys are currently "looking inward" and having a good hard look at yourselves and where you stand at home and in the world - and so are we. ONLY WE LIKE WHAT WE SEE.

It'll never happen.
