02/23/2004: "American Taliban far fetched?"

I've never seen anything like this before. Even God fearing Christians have to see this as a bad idea for America. I'm sorry that this article is a long read, but I think it's pretty important to see what the nut jobs are trying to do with our country.

Ever read "The Handmaid's Tale?"
*shudder*

In case anyone's wondering, here's the description of The Handmaid's Tale from Amazon.com:
In a startling departure from her previous novels ( Lady Oracle , Surfacing ), respected Canadian poet and novelist Atwood presents here a fable of the near future. In the Republic of Gilead, formerly the United States, far-right Schlafly/Falwell-type ideals have been carried to extremes in the monotheocratic government. The resulting society is a feminist's nightmare: women are strictly controlled, unable to have jobs or money and assigned to various classes: the chaste, childless Wives; the housekeeping Marthas; and the reproductive Handmaids, who turn their offspring over to the "morally fit" Wives. The tale is told by Offred (read: "of Fred" ), a Handmaid who recalls the past and tells how the chilling society came to be. This powerful, memorable novel is highly recommended for most libraries. BOMC featured alternate. Ann H. Fisher, Radford P.L., Va.

Sounds like a good one, I'll have to give it a go after I finish Christopher Moore's "Lamb - The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal"
