What if the Liberals Win in November?

From the American Family Association:

Damn, they've found us out.

I think their biggest worry is if, I mean WHEN we make it illegal to be an idiot. They should be afraid. Very, very afraid...

And their point is ?

What?
No mention of mandatory fisting classes for kindergarteners?
No mention of outlawing Christmas?
No mention of confiscation of Bibles?
Not even one mention of bestiality?

Their losing their touch.

Quite a combination of (mostly) ridiculous straw men (that are, unfortunately, believed) with a few things that are in fact part of the "liberal agenda."

The fact that homosexual marriage is perhaps not scary enough is revealing in that they feel the need to directly associate it with polygamy.... I'm not aware of anybody realistically talking about the latter, and alas even the Democrats by and large aren't supporting the former. (I know that the Deomcratic candidate for the Senate in my state -- touted as a key race -- is opposed to homosexual marriage.)

The other one:

Liberals will give terrorists from other countries who try to kill Americans the same rights American citizens enjoy under our constitution.

I seem to remeber reading in one of our founding documents the principle that "all men are created equal." If we really believe that... then shouldn't suspects worldwide be given the same rights? I mean, we've got homegrown terrorists (Timothy McVeigh) and other random murderers and criminals, and yet we have a whole host of rights to protect them, but more significantly to protect the innocent from false accusations. So what's so bad about taking the same approach to everybody? But, of course, the real objection "liberals" (by which I think they mean anybody who isn't a Bush-loving extreme fundamentalist) have is that American citziens no longer have the rights that they're supposed to have; if the president asserts that they are suspected of terrorism, then their rights that they were supposed to have as American citizens all go away. Too bad that objection to that is framed as "giving terrorists rights."

The most common form of polygamy in the U.S. is the plural marriage system of "Fundamentalist Mormon" sects, which aren't exactly bastions of liberal thinking. (Yeah, I can just see the entire FLDS population of Colorado City, AZ voting for Hillary Clinton ....)

Politics makes bedfellows strange.

And impeachment. Wasn't that a big boogie a few months ago? Have they become so disillusioned with Bush that saving him is no longer a valid call to arms?

The list is remarkably toned down from what I expected to see on some subjects. Don't they believe that abortion and homosexual marriage will be mandated by law?

On another note, it's interesting that they've never understood the concept of "alleged" terrorists having the right to defend themselves in court.

If all of those things happen, then isn't it God's will? I mean, He meddles in everything. Anyway, that's what I hear.

That's a bold list, I almost consider it libel to suggest liberals are coordinated enough in this country to accomplish one of those.

Obviously, if they were innocent they would not have been arrested in the first place--so if you're not guilty of anything (including anything we might consider a sin), you have nothing to fear.
