Religion controlling Government - It is happening here in the USA

Audrey Russo, billed as a singer and dancer, as well as, apparently, an expert on Islam, did a real song and dance at BarbWire on Halloween, comparing “leftists” and Islam to Dracula, saying all are control freaks.

This, mind you, is from a representative of the party that wants to regulate and control vaginas, marriage, contraception, workers’ rights, religion, education, and too many other things to count.

Russo says, “[T]hat blood-sucking, hypnotist Dracula [is] always busy controlling his followers one bite at a time”:

They have, she says, (About Islam and Saudi Arabia in particular)

• No individual freedom.
• No free speech rights.
• No religious freedom (Bibles, Crosses and Stars of David are all confiscated and destroyed on entry to the Saudi Kingdom).
• No independence for women.
• Barbaric punishment for ‘crimes’.

The ideology of Islam and its adherents…rather than Dracula and current-day Leftists, are by far the scariest control freaks on earth today.

How is this different than the agenda being pushed on Americans by the Republican Party’s theocrats?

• No individual freedom (all must follow Ten Commandments)
• No free speech rights (gays and atheists “exclude” themselves)
• No religious freedom (Muslims must convert or die, and here; Muslims must be deported or sterilized; Only Christians can build places of worship; and only Christians can hold office. There is a reason James Madison felt compelled to write the Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments, and Thomas Jefferson the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and it was not to establish the Christian religion).
• No independence for women (government ban on abortions; women must be denied contraception; should not be allowed to vote or serve on juries; should not be allowed to serve in combat; clothing regulated, etc).
• Barbaric punishment for ‘crimes’ (women punished for miscarriages; women punished for being raped; girls humiliated for violating dress codes, etc.).

She concludes with, “If you doubt that…try moving to the Saudi Kingdom…”

The problem is, if Russo and the Religious Right get their way, we won’t have to move to the Saudi Kingdom, because the Saudi Kingdom is coming to us. The only difference is the name of the god to whom we must all bow down and do obeisance.
