So Mullah Pat wants a new Supreme Court. Am I the only one to be worried about the fact that he wants an Iranian-styled theocracy in this country? Not just any theocracy mind you, but one in which he and his other "Christian" fundies rule.

Wouldn't that be lovely? How long would it take before women lost the vote? Or before the forced repatriation of all (non-white, non-European) foreigners? Mandatory prayer in school. No abortion, except for the rich who can still travel abroad to get theirs. An end to all those nasty little social programs for the poor (Jesus didn't really mean that we have to feed the poor . . . it was more of a metaphor). Gays in death camps . . . I mean "re-education centers." Separation of mosque and state; separation of temple and state, but full integration of church and state. Heck, Mullah Pat may get rid of that whole "state" thing completely.

Ah, the glorious future. I can almost hear the jackboots on the cobblestones and Mullah Pat whistling "Onward Christian Soldiers" as we march on to Gotterdammerung.

God save us from the pretenders to His throne.
