Every day, they are beaten down by the brutal, savage thuggery of shows like South Park, that hurt their feelings by suggesting that the things they hold sacred and dear may not in fact be sacred and dear.
And Mr. Donohue sees, quite clearly, that people like Trey Parker and Matt Stone-or as he calls them "The Man"-are keeping his people down oppressed, and by golly, he's angry about that. Or as he put it:
85 percent of the population is Christian in this country. Sometimes, I feel like we have an inverse situation here, somewhat analogous to what we had in South Africa, where the majority of the people who were black were dumped on by these white racists. Here, we have a small segment of the population, I call them the "secular supremacists," and they have it out against the 85 percent of the population who's Christian...
Yes. Catholics in America...blacks in Apartheid South Africa. That's roughly the same, yeah. Somebody call Little Steven!
Once again, I am absolutely not making this up.

I'm sorry, Bob, that doesn't jibe with the fact that it is an accepted truth that an agnostic or (God forbid) an atheist cannot be elected president in this country.
Right or left, *every* candidate for that (or lower) office at least mouths words of piety. They may be frauds like Bush, but at least they mouth them.
What more "respect" would you like?
We disagree on at least one or two central points. I think we need to separate an idea of "the left" from "the Democrats."
They are not the same thing, and the way you can tell the difference is that the left are the ones who have been proven right in almost every particular about George W. Bush's catastrophic presidency.
The Democrats are the ones who stood by and let him get away with it.
I also think many, perhaps most (but probably not all) religious believers *are* too easily fooled by those who say the right words no matter what their actions may be.
