Ursula: As to the fear of theocratic oppression, the Left is
certainly opposed to the home-grown (Christian) variety.
Eric: America is far too secularized to be much threatened
by the Christian theocrats. They may be annoying, but are
hardly serious shapers of the country. USA is much more
forged by global monoculture. (Sometimes I miss the old Time
Square area...)
Ursula: As for the Islamic variety, maybe other people's
business is other people's business.
Eric: If the Islamofascists kept their business to
themselves, it wouldn't be our business. Plus the implied
enemy-of-my-enemy strategy usually means that one falls when
the enemy-of-my-enemy falls.
