Crackdowns in reproductive rights to 'blue laws' keeping businesses from opening on Sunday (latter finally overturned in 1970s).

Just as we were finally breaking their grasp on the national character, St Ronnie allies with the radicals and a new, fully theocratic bulldozer starts plowing its way through long-fought for rights.

With their juggernaut of political allies, even the blatant unconstitutional, wholly religiously-based addition of 'under God' in the pledge and changing the inclusive motto 'e pluribus unum' into the divisive 'In God we trust' was allowed to stand for so long that courts accept them as legitimate due to tradition.

The 2016 field of GOP candidates is nothing more than a host of theocratic tyrants. And, worst of all, the supposed Christianity they bow down to bears virtually no relation to what Jesus taught.

The Second Coming of the Dark Ages is nigh. Keep those liberty torches handy. Be ready to hold them high.
