They Won't Stand on Common Ground

To those who labor under the delusion that we heathens can make common cause with the conservative Christian Right on issues where we both agree, I offer the following. Here's where they're at on a key issue for us:

Religious liberty, as the group defines it, includes lifting the Internal Revenue Service ban on churches participating in politics. And it includes cheering judges who display the Ten Commandments in public places and championing courts that uphold the right of schoolchildren to say "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

The only way to work with these people is to surrender to them. And I, for one, have no plans in that direction at all.

Los Angeles Times - Among the droves of conservative Christian lobbyists arguing their points of view in Washington, one relatively little-known group has a simple formula for setting itself apart from the crowd: Don't give an inch.
