"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"

Judge for yourself if the sky is falling -- here's trailer for the new documentary from the Family Research Council, entitled The End of Religious Freedom in America? that's on the You Tubes:

    Video excerpt:

    Tony Perkins: Religious freedom. Freedom of speech. Often referred to as our first freedoms. How important are they to you as an American. What if they were taken away -- Would you miss them?

    Well, you may not have to wait long to find out. I'm holding in my hand the latest assault on our first freedoms -- It's called ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. I call it "the end of religious liberty and free speech in America."

It sure is funny how the people on the right are afraid of losing THUR FREE SPEECH AND RELIGION while the rest of us are terrified of being shot in our homes because of it....

It is ironic, isn't it?

So, exactly how many conservative Christian priests, pastors, and others on the religious right have been charged with federal hate crimes for their sermons or public statements since the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act was signed into law?  How much free speech of social conservatives of faith has been curtailed?

Try zero on both counts.

But that said, that doesn't stop the religious right from using the same arguments they used against the recent federal hate crime law against the passage of ENDA.

Now, now... they don't want to shoot you at home, they would much rather wait till you're in church to pull the trigger.

why would the sky fall? because the religious right said it would!! you know EVERYTHING they say is gospel!!
