This summit coming up in September is proof about what I have been saying.The influence of religion on our political process is scary to me. These right wing religious zombies cannot be allowed to make policy for me or my family.Look at the sponsors for this event:Family Research Council (religious)
American Family Association(religous)
Focus on The Family (religious)
American Values (religious)
Now look at some of the key speakers:
Rep. Michelle Bachman
Ken Blackwell
Glen Beck
Rep. Roy Blount
Rep. John Boehner
Kirk Cameron
Rep. Eric Cantor
Sen. John Coryn
Gov. Mike Huckabee
Newt Gingrich
Sean Hannity
Gov. Bobby Jindal
Rush Limbaugh
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Gov. Sarah Palin
Rep. Mike Pence
Gov. Rick Perry
Gov. Mitt Romney
Gov. Mark Sanford
Gary Sinise
If events like this don't scare the crap out of you, you are not an american patriot. This kind of activity is why I am outspoken about religion and politics. The right wing religious right is like the modern day KKK. Beware of these zealots!

Zealots? Zombies? Ahhh, yet another example of great name-calling of those who have a different point of view. Perhaps you, like so many of us, should do a little fact-checking.

I checked out your blog and I stand by what I said. The bible and all of it's hypocrisy and religionists such as yourself are a dying breed.
If you want to belong to the biggest cult known to mankind, be my guest.
“Dogma voters” is the more fitting label. “Values voters” is a label invented by people who like to think of themselves as championing good human values. What many of them are pushing actually is dogma. “Values” are “the principles that help you to decide what is right and wrong, and how to act in various situations.” Cambridge Dictionary of American English. “Dogma” is “a fixed, esp. religious, belief or set of beliefs that people are expected to accept without any doubts.” Id. The two, we can only hope, overlap to some extent, but they are hardly the same. Some of what religious fundamentalists hold up as values others find plainly wrongheaded and even immoral. Labels count. Those pushing the “values voters” label hope it will help them pass off their dogma as values. If they want to push their dogma, that’s their right. But “dogma voters” they are, and that’s what I’ll call them.
