Beware the Crazy Christians!!!!!

Yesterday, BG warned us that crazy christians were about to start killing you. It's true. They've become the biggest threat to normal Americans since Communists (you know... those reds!). Let's call this the WHITE scare... after all, these crazy Christians are probably all disaffected white kids. If you thought the RED scare was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. Maybe BG can be our modern day McCarthy and help us smoke out these ticking time bombs.
Don't believe me? Just read the balanced article on the issue BG linked us to yesterday. Someone named "Sara," whom I must assume has impeccable credibility on the issue, tells us to be afraid, be very afraid. How do I know she is so balanced? Well it's clear from her clever use of the word "fundies" to describe religious fundamentalists. She also has this gem, "American people (including many of their own followers) are finally getting a bellyful of the religious right's increasingly whackadoodle behavior." It's clear that BG has given us a very even look at Christian fundamentalism in America. Why anyone would dismiss "Sara's" claims are beyond me.
Why else should we accept this? Because "Sara" is a self-described Futurist. This means she is not a fortune-teller, instead she "often use[s] a storytelling approach that posits a variety of scenarios -- typically three to seven -- that cover the widest possible range for how given situation might play out." And these multiple scenarios all tell us that crazy Christians will begin killing you any day now.
After all, BG tells me, "What about Eric Rudolph?" And well... he mentioned someone else by a last name only, and, frankly, I can't find a whole lot more. Besides, Eric Rudolph is a great example. He was a white supremacist (member of Christian Identity) and anti-abortion militant (member of Army of God). If Eric Rudolph (who killed 3 and injured 150 in a series of bombings in the mid-90s) is killing people, then others will, too!
Of course, the evidence that a sub-culture of the religious right is creating a dangerous group of "Christian Soldiers" is virtually non-existant. "Sara's" conclusions are based on her own negative opinions of Christians, nothing more. And those on the left lap it up like a parched dog by a rain puddle.
You see, the left wants to create an equivalency between the real dangerous religous fundamentalists (you know, Islamic fundamentalists) and the Christian right. It helps them to paint their opponents as evil. It doesn't matter to them that the Islamic fundamentalists are the ones who have murdered more than 3000 innocent Americans. All that matters is that you believe those white people are just as scary as the brown ones (skin color reference taken from BG, who so enjoys using it).
