Driving away the choir?

It's pretty clear that many folks on the left find today's "religious right" quite scary. However, it appears that some long-term fundamentalists find it scary as well.
Beyond that, the Religious Right is actively assisting those who would destroy our freedoms. On the whole, the Religious Right comports with those within the Bush administration and within the Republican Party who, in the name of "fighting terrorism," are actually terrorizing constitutional protections of our liberties.
. . .
Another disconcerting feature of today's Religious Right is its attempt to Christianize political entities which it supports and to demonize political entities which it opposes. This trend is especially scary.
. . .
I used to believe that liberals were paranoid for being fearful of conservative Christians gaining political power. Now, I share their trepidation.
All this from a guy whose pedigree is pure Moral Majority blueblood. Gives me hope that there will be opposing voices from directions that might get an ear. Only time will tell.
