I've been blogging since 2008, and a lot of my blogs have concerned the descent of the right wing into deeper and deeper stupidity. It just keeps getting deeper. Political movements like this seem to come on without rhyme or reason, build like hurricanes, and run their course, destroying everything in their path. One knows that this, too, shall pass, but how bad can it get before it's over?
My glum mood (and I'm really not glum all the time, honest) is occasioned, of course, by the decisions of the current Supreme Court session, especially the Hobby Lobby case. Now that corporations are people, I suppose we'll be hearing more and more cases with names like Important People vs. Little People. Or are people no longer people?
The Founding Fathers were so smart. They understood that the only guarantee of religious freedom is the separation of church and state. Today's fundamentalist Christians are so paranoid about losing their religious freedom to enemies such as Muslims and atheists, that they are trying to bring about the very conditions that would end religious freedom in this country; Christian rule.
