I always wondered where Beck got his moral superiority. Now I know.

Regards,

That is truly scary! It's almost like they're twins separated at birth!

That's good stuff, never seen anything about his early days before. Kinda supports my personal belief that he was out of his mind on acid one day watching the movie Network when he came up with his current persona....of course he might have wandered out of the room before seeing how it ended, but i'm sure the fox execs can remind him.

Beck to Palin; "Do you think they (Liberals) oppose us----------because they fear God?"
Palin to Beck; "Yes, absolutely."

Oh, "God" is it? Now we think we're Gods personal envoy?

I think Timshelcaleb is right. It must be acid.

Well......my quote is a bit inaccurate, but that's how I take this. Your milage may vary.

I think you've got it very close if not exactly. I remember that conversation. I think it occurred when Palin was making the rounds of Fox shows after they signed her up as a commentator.

Yes.

The question, broken down to a basic level is this;

How do you govern under specific religious principles, with a bias toward a certain religion that is, without treading on the rights of others?

To my mind, you can't. I believe this is the problem that arises in every Theocracy.
They have Christins in Iran, but their lives are miserable, as they are forced to live under Sharia law right along with everone else. And this is what I fear, yes that's right I said fear, from the religious right in America. That they will say it's okay to hold other beliefs, but holding them will be "socially unacceptable". Kind of like what it must be like to be gay or involved in an interracial relationship in America. We are told we are free to choose our own path in life from the day we're born. But if you choose ceratin paths, you might "have a little problem". Put the muscle of the government behind it to make sure the courts look the other way and LOOK OUT. You choice is not illegal, but watch what happens when you choose it...............

See what I'm sayin'?
