Oh, but they're not like those pesky Christians--"shoving their religion down your throat"--this is just being fair:
Gregoire, a Democrat, applied public pressure to the Pharmacy Board, warning that she would replace board members who didn't follow her wishes on the issue. She later worked out the compromise rule that was approved by the Pharmacy Board.
So let's see:
- Christians MUST pay taxes that go towards what we consider to be murder, i.e., state funded abortions.
- Christians may also end up having to fund embryonic stem cell research.
- Christians MUST also allow "safe sex" to be taught in public elementary schools where their children attend (but must fight tooth-and-nail to keep abstinence in the curriculum). And in some public schools they also must "tolerate" detailed explanations of gay "safe sex."
- And if the "tolerant" left had their way, Christian pharmacists would also be forced to participate in what some of them consider a form of abortion. (Still curious why folks can't go to a pharmacy that does carry what they want instead of forcing someone else to violate their conscience.)
This is the same Left that forced ALL restaurants in WA state to become non-smoking establishments, regardless of what the owners of those establishments might have wanted. (Indians are excepted; apparently, "fairness" is only skin deep.)
Seeing a pattern here?
The Left has a vision--a salvific vision--that is just as absolute in its reach as any "fundamentalist" religion. There is no neutrality: you are either on board with them or you are against them. They have a vision for the world and it will be implemented whether you agree or not and the favored tool for implementation is government. Besides, if you disagree it's because you are ignorant, mentally ill, or just plain evil. All else failing, they mean well and they are smarter than you anyway so shut up and sit down.
Americans, behold your future! A coercive, all-knowing, all-powerful entity in the State that will ultimately set all to rights and wring every last bit of compliance out of each of its subjects--for your own good.
Funny, that sounds an awful lot like the caricature of the "right-wing God" the Left so vigorously opposes...
