From one of my more regular and hysterical lefy readers:

“This aggressive new strain of right-wing religious
zealotry is actually a throwback to the intolerance
that led to the creation of America in the first
place,”
He’s right of course, but don’t’ let that stop you
from claiming otherwise. What ever works for you. It
goes along with conservative attempts so somehow
attach morality to “the pursuit of happiness”.
Honestly, it’s hard to fathom how you manage to
re-invent our country’s past to fit your vision of
the present.
