I think you and Jen are both correct. The ?right? seems to have no problem interfering when it suits their own agenda. I am afraid that if things continue as they are the United States will eventually become a right-wing Christian ?theocracy? beholden to gigantic multinational corporate interests and the top 1% of wealth holders. Science and inquiry as well as individual expression will be suppressed. This, at least to me, is not what I believe our ?founding fathers? had in mind over 200 years ago.
