By "Executive Order", George W. Bush has created a Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives at the Department of Homeland Security.
Think about this for a minute - within what amounts to the most augmented spy agency in the world - with powers that make the former Soviet Union's state police agency, the KGB look like small time pikers by comparison.
Remember, this is the agency charged with "securing" the United States. What the hell does religion have to do with national security? (Oh wait - I'm being rational about this)
Coming soon - The Republic of Gilead - in all it's horrorifying stupidity.
[I'm really getting the cold, uneasy feeling that Atwood accidentally wrote prophecy rather than fiction when she wrote that book]
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
