Re: When did the GOP lose touch with Reality?
I would agree with bluegrasscat that a theocracy in the US is not really likely - but a deeply conservative and repressive government really is possible. You've only got to recall the worst excesses of the McCarthy era to see how these things can spiral out of control. There are ugly attitudes just below the surface on many issues in a large part of the population- an the people who gather in this forum, these boards, would certainly suffer if someone like Santorum became President.
And the hard won fight of the civil rights movement is still in living memory for most of us over the age of 40. That's a mere blip.

Re: When did the GOP lose touch with Reality?
It matters not whether he's allowed to have the power or not. An attempt to create a theocracy will take years to straighten out in the courts. I'm not the least bit worried about the US becoming a theocracy. The trend has been in the opposite direction since the end of the Eisenmower administration. That trend has slowed, or even stopped, from time to time, depending on the virulence of the rhetoric. This is one of those times. The object of the God zanies is to reverse the trend, & while they're quoting the Bible or talking shit about the Constitution, they're willing to tell any lie to reach that objective. Of course it must be everybody else who's practicing hypocracy. The whole world is marching out of step.
