You know, Osama bin Laden is opposed to gay marriage too. |

Why don't people make the connection between amending the constitution to enforce the Bible and having a government determined by the Koran?
What exactly is the difference?
Oh, wait. It's because Christians are right and Moslems are heretics.
Now its perfectly clear.
Seriously, I think any argument against the gay marriage amendment should include references to the Taliban and bin Laden. Let's make it all perfectly clear.

There are some very scary similarities between Taliban/Islamic Fundies and their Republican Kristian counterparts.

but it's a simplistic connection, mainly because it's no surprise - a fundie is a fundie. That is to say, all fundies are against everything not explicitly commanded centuries ago in a cave. All religious fundies (of the Abrahamic religions let's say) are explicitly male-dominating and sexually repressive.
The other problem, of course, is explaining irony to fundies. I think the part of the brain that detects irony is destroyed by fundamentalism.

I wonder if an ironectomy is covered under Blue Cross?
That the argument is simplistic is a given.
However, it is also accurate and may in fact be telling with some folks who've never really made the connection before.
And isn't it fun calling the GOPers terrorists?

give up the freedoms for which the terrorists supposedly hate us.
no freedom: no cause for hate: no terrorism. simple isn't it.
