I’m very careful to address organizations and individuals en masse

Yeah, it would be convenient for the would-be ayahtollahs to keep the discussions broken down and separate. It’s no accident that a large number of the same people are anti-Choice AND anti-sex ed AND anti-birth control AND anti-gay rights. It’s all as much a part of imposing a wide-ranging fabric of narrow religious-based sectarian beliefs as public policy as the Virtue Police in Saudi Arabia, the Shiite enforcement squads in Iraq, or the mullahs of the Taliban in Afghanistan…the irony is profound and would be delicious if it weren’t so sad. The views are all interconnected…you see the same would-be ayahtollahs, the same organizations, the same politicians seeking and receiving support.



Yep, I’d say you were fair and balanced – you slam anyone and everyone who holds a different opinion.

Maybe I’m showing my age or my background, but I remember a time when people were very careful not to make disparaging comments about an entire group of people, whether based on gender, ethnic background or group affiliation. There are crazies everywhere – Code Pink, eco-terrorists, those who murder abortion doctors – but I don’t think they are representative of the vast majority of people.
