    They are merely different sides of the same coin

    "Every now and then, it is worth noting that substantial portions of the right-wing political movement in the United States -- the Pajamas Media/right-wing-blogosphere/Fox News/Michelle Malkin/Rush-Limbaugh-listener strain -- actually believe that Islamists are going to take over the U.S. and impose sharia law on all of us."

    And in their haste to stop such a pressing catastrophe, these same folks are more than happy to attempt to establish a right-wing, religious totalitarian state. Neither, I'm afraid, are acceptable to me. Nor should the choice between Sharia law and the law of the Right be the only 2 options.
