The shadow of Theocracy (via BoingBoing)

Geek and new dad Glenn Fleishman tells BoingBoing,

"I've been Jewish, not very observant, my whole life. I'm one of the first generations of Jews to not fear assault as they went to school or lived their lives in secular or religious ways. To not worry about slaughter. I have only met a handful of concentration camp survivors, including a teacher in college. I don't know what it is to be oppressed or insulted for my ethnic and religious heritage.
Today is the first day I am afraid in America because I am Jewish. Today is the first day I fear for my new son, who is not, but has a Jewish father.
I'm lucky to live in Washington State, and specifically in Seattle. A haven of secular and broad-spectrum religious views in a sea of red. We went strongly, even among Republicans, to Kerry, and maybe I just won't leave this state much for the next four years." (Link)

I pray that Bush checks the dictionary and discovers this word called 'moderate'.
