A letter to my fellow (normal) Americans

Dear Fellow Normal People,

In case it hasn't hit you yet, the jig is up.

The Radical Religious Right now owns all three branches of America. Or they will in a few months, when Sam Alito gets his seat on the Supreme Court.

Bush's nomination of Alito is the whole enchilada. It's the Religious Right's quid pro quo for putting him in the White House. Bush owes them big-time, and their tab for services rendered is one Supreme Court.

And so Bush has given the ultraconservative Alito to the nut cases he's beholden to, thereby handing them the third branch, lock, stock and barrel.

Considering they already own the White House and Congress, we average, normal Americans should be quaking in our boots. And I'm talking about average, normal Republicans; average, normal Dems; average, normal people of faith; average, normal women and gays and immigrants and minorities and the disabled.
