Oh a few here and there ranging from Dubya's persistent blocking of
the advancement of stem cell research for his own religious
considerations to the new post Janet Jackson Super Bowl crackdown on
"indecency" which is 100% being driven by the religious right via
kooks like Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas.

It's the religious kook in the Oval Office currently that really
scares me the most however.  The one who is constantly talking about
getting his Presidential guidance from God and who issued prayer cards
to the Marines that they could fill out and mail in to the White House
and read: "Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong and
courageous to do what is right regardless of critics."
