What do you get when you take a famous hardcore liberal and ask him to compare the theocratic philosophy of the American hardcore religious right wingers with the theocratic philosophy of the Taliban and Al Queda?

You get a harsh talking-points quality diatribe, on several contentious issues, where the American right wingers come off looking very much like the Taliban and Al Queda. The right wingers could rebut this comparison of course, by fleshing out their positions to draw contrasts between themselves and the Taliban and Al Queda.

• Schools
• Women
• Religious freedom
• Homosexuality
• Torture
• Medicine and Science
