America Wakes Up?

From Susan Page in USA Today about American perceptions of who calls the shots in the Bushit administration:

By more than 2-to-1, 39%-18%, Americans say the “religious right” has too much influence in the Bush administration. That's a change from when the question was asked in CBS News/New York Times polls taken from 2001 to 2003. Then, approximately equal numbers said conservative Christians had too much and too little influence.

When overworked, underattentive America begins to notice the extremist nutwad religious faction acting too brazenly in the public arena, then we know we're in trouble. And, gratefully, at what may be the brink of a religious fascist takeover, the people are going to wake up and slap the bastards down, back to their tentshow snake oil shows on the fringe of rube culture, right where they belong.
