		<description><![CDATA[Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, who is currently (one might say justifiably) running third in the state's Republican gubernatorial primary race, is apparently  not sure if the Constitution's guarantees of freedom of religion apply to Islam, which happens to be the world's second-largest religion - right after Ramsey's own religion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And here is where Barb White stands up and testifies to all, "I am a narrow-minded and intolerant bigot": “I’m here today to tell you that homosexuality and lesbian behavior is unhealthy,” claiming that gays and lesbians have higher rates of STDs than anyone else in the world, including, she asserts, “gay bowel disease,” an ailment the author of the article correctly points out that does not exist but which “is often used by religious right figures to paint gay men as diseased.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Especially since the election of Barack Obama, Republicans who do not object to every proposal the president makes are accused of not really being Republican. This once unofficial trend has become doctrinaire (the ranting of Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Hannity and others) and has now been codified as of Friday, January 29, 2010: A proposal for a “litmus test” which would have required candidates to affirm ten core conservative positions (Ten Commandments anyone?) did not materialize but what did still amounts to a creed:  GOP candidates must support the party's platform if they want gold for their war chests.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rest of us are trapped in this mythical world. And not only is ancient history mythologized but so is American history – the myth of a Christian Nation. And as rapidly as events happen in the real world, they are mythologized – re-interpreted to fit, to conform to the system. It is becoming difficult for the real world – and us – to keep up with the spin.]]></description>
