It's Thanksgiving Day. Here's something I can be thankful for: that I have to work. That means I won't be at a dinner table somewhere and be informed that liberals are trying to ban the Declaration of Independece from school because of its reference to "the Creator".

I can sympathize with the fellow in the comments who said:

Passive-aggressive fascists. Now that I write it, it sounds weird but accurate - they always want to be the victims. Being a victim makes it easier to whip up more rage, more hate, more distortion of anything that might be good about Christianity.

I've always marveled at how deeply religions generally, and religious radicals especially, are able to embed themselves in a society's consciousness, and at how much control they are able to exert over people's thinking and their ways of life. I've always marveled at how this isn't enough for them, and that they will not be satisfied unless they are able to openly put the power of government under religious control. What's most amazing at all is that they, an overwhelmingly powerful super-majority, is expects to be (and usually are) taken seriously when they are playing "victim".
