Yesterday I read an article on NPR about a judge in Alabama who was eventually censured for having a sort of display case of the ten commandments in his court room, he finally lost his job. He's now running for Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, and is pretty much touting this to appeal to fundamentalist voters.

Here's the article: http://www.npr.org/2012/10/27/163725159/the-ten-commandments-judge-wants-his-seat-back


Here's the bit that really caught my eye. A woman attended one of Moore's rallies and said this to a reporter: "We're at a critical juncture in our nation," Roberts says. "We will either go back to our Christianity, and the faith, the doctrines that our nation was founded on or we will be a socialist, Marxist country."

I guess she doesn't realize that this is exactly what every totalitarian nation justifies themselves with. Islamic nation-states think the same thing, and we really like them for their religiosity, don't we?
