Christian conservatives in the U.S. are mobilizing to push voters in the upcoming mid-term elections to vote for Republicans. The anti-abortion, pro-marriage, anti-gay-marriage, anti-porn, anti-stem-cell-research bunch is terrified that the Democrats will win a majority in the House and the Senate. They are not satisfied with what the Republicans have achieved, but the message is “Hold your nose and vote”.
They are defending so-called unborn life, but don’t care about the murders of 650,000 formerly living Iraqis. They are pro-marriage, but only if the two partners can make babies so they can grow up to die in Iraq or anywhere else their president tells them to die. They are anti-porn because it depicts the act of love-making, but rejoice in the act of war. And according to them, stem cell research has to be banned because you should not try to heal yourself since God will decide about that.
It is this Christian fundamentalism which is a threat to the world. Bush is not the Devil, of course. He is only the war-criminal-in-chief. But voting for his Republican followers comes pretty close to voting for the Devil’s friends. God-fearing Christians beware! If – and only if – God exists, he will remember…
Let’s hope the American voters for once make the right choice and turn the coming two years into a living hell for George W.
