April 12, 2005—On March 29, the Rev. Louis Sheldon and his Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) launched a $10 million campaign against "the anti-God Left" who, they claim, have "been using America's courts to impose an anti-religion, anti-family agenda on America." They have the ear, voice and the support of George W. Bush: "We need common sense judges who understand that our rights are derived from God. Those are the kind of judges I intend to put on the bench."
TVC's specific battle plans were outlined in a "personal" message—and rather hysterical plea for donations—from Louis Sheldon to those on TVC's email list. In the hysterical mendacious rhetoric the Rev. Sheldon does so well, he proclaimed, "TVC plans to launch a nationwide campaign to educate Americans about how the ACLU (with help from liberal Democrat politicians) have hijacked America's courts to impose an extremist anti-God agenda on America."

See what happens when you give a voice to radicals? I want to see the flip side of this coin.
I mean what's next? Who gave anyone the right to interpret what people's beliefs should be? IT is not an anti-God thing. It's a mind your own business thing. Hell, I say if we have to listen to these religious fanatics than they should pay fucking taxes like the rest of us do. I bet that would quiet them rather quickly when faced with that possibility.
