Tell us how you really feel, Leo
http://thenightwriterblog.powerblogs.com/posts/1195069719.shtml


   My friend Leo at [1]Psycmeistr's Ice Palace is often as pointed as an
   icicle in defending his religious and political convictions on his
   blog, especially when those convictions come together on a particular
   issue. He doesn't mince his words but will make mince of stories or
   arguments in favor of limiting our freedoms.
   Leo recently used an [2]advisory from American Family Associations --
   about a HUD-owned senior citizens building in Florida banning an
   85-year-old tenant from displaying religious Christmas decorations on
   her door (a policy that has now been rescinded) -- as the starting
   point for a [3]post raking evermore ambitious nanny state restrictions
   on our freedoms and our society's general willingness to put up with
   this.

     Ladies and gentlemen, the State, when held up as god, is a jealous
     god, and it shall have no other gods before it.
     Not even the Real One.
     I find it all the more oxymoronic that people on the left who call
     themselves Christians are so willing to sell their religious
     freedom to embrace the false promises and sour milk that flow from
     the golden calf that is the government teat.
     In the absence of the acceptance of God, man himself attempts to
     fill the void to become that which he rejects.
     With predictably disastrous consequences, I might add.
     And unfortunately, those who choose to ignore history are bound and
     determined to drag the rest of us along on their path toward its
     insidious repetition.

   Read the whole thing, including the links. But be careful you don't
   poke your eye out!
