Katherine Harris in heaven? It's more likely than the U.S. Senate The candidate speaks on the importance of her election.
  • She is a run-of-the-mill fundamentalist...

    All the things Katherine Harris said are standard fundamentalist positions in standard fundamentalist jargon. You can hear the same ideas in the same words every day on "Christian" radio talk shows, plus a lot more.

    Please tune in your local Christianist on the radio, and listen for a week or so. And maybe send the radio host a few mild, reasoning e-mails. Try to build a bridge, and get rejected, and realize how odd and fierce these people are.

    Please listen to these Pharisees, and realize that they are all around us, all around the USA.

    It appears, though, that they may have peaked. They cannot get anybody elected just by themselves. And they hate everybody else, so they will not make many more political alliances. Perhaps we can survive them.
