Who Are the Fascists?

I love it when I hear people, even some Christians, wringing their hands over the imminent danger of evangelicals establishing a THEOCRATIC FASCIST SOCIETY here in America. Given recent trends in society and politics, no doubt this is a real possibility, as illustrated in the MSN quote below:

“Since Obama announced that he would sign the orders, he's faced pressure from opposing flanks over whether he would include an exemption for religious organizations. He decided to maintain a provision that allows religious groups with federal contracts to hire and fire based upon religious identity, but not give them any exception to consider sexual orientation or gender identity. Churches also are able to hire ministers as they see fit.

Why, thank you for your generosity, Mr. President. So glad that the Federal Government has decreed that churches will still be able to hire ministers as they see fit. I feel more free already.
