Be wary of voting based on religion

If you like the way religion-run governments like Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan promote education, science, peace, freedom and happiness; you'll love living in a U.S. where the religious right has its way, is successful in removing the separation of church and state, and becomes a major influence in our national legislative process.

They can then apply their belief that we should all be free of unwanted governmental policies and be completely independent as long as we all embrace their brand of Christianity and agree that all other religious beliefs are nothing more than cults. That makes me one of the folks they can include in their definition of "infidel." When you go to the voting booth, be careful what you vote for, because you may get it.
