Perry,
The problem with the so-called "Christian Right" is that they are neither.
I think that anyone who bombs and kills people in an abortion clinic are terrorists. Just the same as al-Qaida.
The problem is that some have the feeling that the United States is a Christian or Christian-Juedo society. It is neither. It is, and was intended to be, a secular society.
Someone's faith is personal, just as a person's sexual preference. The government doesn't need to be involved in either.
