TellsTruth- you are so correct. Like I have pontificated for years on Patriot Boards, the Patriot movement is filled with many types of people, but there are loathsome individuals that seem to want to create the same stuffy, uptight, closed minded world here, that exists on the Left. I speak of the constant preachiness of certain Christians. They even wear this distinction as something to be proud of - not getting that they are just as fucked up as those they persecute on the Left for being progenitors of group think, monoculture, etc. I cannot stand these people. They know very little about their own religion, its history, or the true esoteric foundations of human spirituality. They also conform their take on science to their extremely limiting Creation based worldview, and seem to be stuck in Newtownian Physics out of fear of the Quantum Field Theories that suggest and implicate a world that just does not lie within the ignorant, self limited view of many of the mostly small recent upstart Protestant sects, but found equally in the bigger Protestant and Orthodox and Catholic world views as well. I salute their love of country but their ignorance about religion, spirituality and other cultural views is astounding.
