Religious right, please leave this free country
It's almost impossible for me to think about anything else these days other than the immoral, unethical, obnoxious, arrogant, irrational, violent, anti-intellectual, anti-cultural, misogynistic, homophobic, base, and corrupt conservative right wingers in this country.
These people (illegally) came into power several years ago promising to bring 'honor' and 'dignity' to the presidency and its administration. Instead, it put into place a moron, former cocaine addict and alcoholic who has the inability to speak a coherent sentence or to have an original thought. Instead, he leans on his invisible friend, whom he loves and allegedly entered his heart and changed his life. (My god these people sound homosexual - why can't they just admit it and just leave all the blessed homosexuals in this country alone?) These people - among them, Karl Rove, Tom Delay, Alan Keyes, Lewis Libby, Dick Cheney, Bill Frist, Pat Robertson, etc etc - are the basest, most shameful examples of life on the planet.
Many members of the administration supposedly belong to a certain sect of Christianity, a cult really, that believes that they are predestined to being saved and that their actions have no reflection on this truth; that is, no matter what they do here on earth, they're going to be with their man, Jesus, once it's over...so, they can expediently, stupidly, do whatever they wish here on earth and they'll still be wearing the white robes afterward.
And they do in fact do whatever they wish without regard to anyone or anything but their little adolescent endeavors. Really, I think they're all developmentally stuck at about age 13, and are reliving the times when all the pretty girls rightfully shunned them and called them names. It's over guys. Go to therapy if it still haunts you - stop attempting to destroy the quality of life of the people who want to remain free in this country.
Abortion will be illegal soon in this so-called first world country. This is my official prediction. These people are barbaric and repulsive. They will put me and my friends in jail for taking adult responsibilities over our bodies, for expressing free will and intellect. This country is the least progressive, most violent, least intellectual so-called first world country on the planet, and it's all because of these bozos.
Listen guys, some of us here actually like people, and think they're pretty cool, and enjoy cultural differences and really don't like it when you make it impossible for the good people of this country to travel and have intellectual exchanges with other cultures. I always say I'm Canadian when I travel, because, in part, the fanatics in power have made being American overseas an impossibly dangerous thing. In part, I am so ashamed of being American right now.
And some people - um, the sane people in the country - actually have respect for life right here and now, and don't follow your little fantasy story line about this life not mattering. So please get the hell away from here and go establish a little island far far away where you can all go beat each other up, sleep with each other (you're doing it now after all), take your illegal drugs, and make believe your fantasy friend really matters. And leave this (albeit diminishingly) free country to those who actually want to live in a free country, where religion has nothing to do with being a decent, caring, loving person, where art and intellect are respected and nourished, where women are seen as people, where homosexuals are left alone to be the normal, healthy (perhaps more evolved) people that they are, where life is actually a thing to respect and treat kindly.
As one literary critic said recently: my holy book is any book that is written with gorgeous, deliberate artistic attention; literature.

It's less a matter of religion, and more a matter of believing that one person knows what is better for everyone else and acts on those whims, hypocritical though they may be. It's an embedded psychological disorder that comes from working in conservative think tanks, serving in the military, attending elite schools, and being born into money.
Nevertheless, I too wish they would leave. More than that, I wish that our pathetically impressionable voting populous would engage in critical thinking and invest in collective memory so that legislators would be held accountable for their actions instead of being voted into office based on charm, clever tag-lines, and sophistry. Of course living in a very educated, liberal Northern California, I can at least seek refuge in my local community and pray for a day when people learn to think again.
