Second, when all those dreaded Christian evangelicals take to the polls and vote people like Pat Robertson into power, then you will have a case. Politicians can get up and spew whatever they want to, and fundraisers can do the same. It makes the news, and little else. When Christian evangelicals become presidents of public universities and begin doing to secularists what the secularists are now doing to Christians, then you will have a case. The "Christian Right" is largely a bogey man, a fundraiser for leftists. There is significant diversity of political views among evangelicals, and even the Southern Baptist convention is frequently on the brink of schism. The experience of Clinton and Gore, two Southern Baptists in the White House for eight years, should give you some idea of whether we are monolithically theocratic. What many evangelicals do feel is that there is a significant amount of official hostility to public expressions of faith, where it is protected by the First Amendment. Some overreact to this, and may hoot and holler in a moment of emotion (like at a rally). But given the time to make a voting decision, they are not going to put a theocrat into office.

First, I forgot to mention that liberals are evil incarnate, responsible for all the suffering in the world ![]()
