That's why fundamentalist like Bachman and Perry are dangerous. The absolutism demanded by that type of fundamentalist is a serious threat to the religious freedom of those who have a different vision of the Divine. It's not too much of a stretch to say elect Bachman or Perry and kiss freedom of religion goodbye.

Many people can separate the eccentric...from the norm. IMO they are appealing to the majority of voters who for one reason or other need to hear what they babble. Given the state of the economy...this is understandable.
I am a cafeteria Catholic ( pick and choose what I believe ) Don't attend mass regularly...but pray daily. I'd like to see ALL religious buildings be taxed AND the clergy as well. Just saying...

Not sure, the late '70's and early '80's are pretty much a blur.

Here's an interesting and relevant take on this issue from Richard Dawkins, with specific emphasis on Rick Perry's squirrelly views on evolution:
