Americans have lost more constitutional protections of personal freedoms under President George W. Bush than under any president in modern memory. And the Religious Right is either totally oblivious to this reality or a party to it.
Does not the Religious Right understand that without allegiance to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, all politicians, even those that profess to be Christians, become tyrants? Do our national Christian leaders not comprehend that when freedoms are lost to some, they are lost to all? Do they really not understand that when they allow politicians to dismantle constitutional government, they are forging the chains that will be placed around their own necks?
For the life of me, I cannot understand why the Religious Right ignores civil liberties issues! However, I do understand this: Americans are quickly losing their liberties, and, by its silence and inaction, the Religious Right is equally to blame.
