Ah, but you call for the execution of people who are in power and exercising control. The rightist bloggers just want a wholesale slaughter of anyone who doesn't think like them. For example, I've never heard you suggest that all the Christians who descend on Jackson Square each Mardi Gras should be mowed down in a hail of bullets, but it's perfectly acceptable for right-wing pundits to say that gays, Muslims, etc. should meet that fate merely for who the are or what they believe.

I would, however, like to see the Christians on Jackson Square forced to take a course in what the bible really sez.

"Stephen Prothero, chairman of the religion department at Boston University and author of "Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know -- and Doesn't" has a solution: Teach people in public schools what the Bible actually says. Lectures would be academic, not religious in nature."
