BRONSON: A list of lesser gods we can control
Bronson's column is a humorous attempt at a passive aggressive form of religious bigotry. He slanders pagans. He props up his "god" with his pious ire. Bronson’s diatribe is just a veiled attack on independent thought and a secular way of life. Peter prefers a theocratic form of government. Now to be fair, he wants one were every Christian can worship the same god in any "reasonable" form they wish, but no other religion will be guaranteed. He will tolerate the Jews and some Muslims, but that is about it. I would surmise Bronson considers Atheists to be "godless communists" as well, not even American citizens. I sound like a broken record when I have to constantly point out the religious bigotry Bronson regularly professes, but I cannot let his crusade go unchecked. I have to laugh most though that he had to put in quotes the phrase - right-wing fundamentalist Christians. He can disagree with the claims put at the feet of the that group, but he cannot claim that group does not exist and is not best described with those words. I would bet he shares most of the ideas and beliefs with others who are not so quick to distance themselves with that description. He should not be so timid to embrace his ideological brethren. Wear your badge of bigotry proudly Mr. Bronson. If you can’t do anything else, then at least be honest about where you stand. The fence between right-wing nuts and paleo-conservatives is a very weak fence. It can’t stand your weight very much longer.
