Facing the Religious Right

The American Prospect has posted an essay on "Fighting Right" about how to fight the religious right.

My suggestion is to begin by giving up the military rhetoric. The religious right does not need to be "fought," it needs to be "faced." Both involve conflict. One acknowledges that the the "other" is not an "enemy" but a "brother."

Well said; we need to step back from militaristic rhetoric. Interesting the way even the debate has been framed in those sorts of terms.
