The Fascist Agenda of the Republican Party

SusanG over at DailyKos found this disturbing blurb buried within the body of a Christian Science Monitor news piece:
GOP leaders are gearing up to bring a number of issues on the Christian conservative agenda to the floor of the House and Senate in the next few weeks, including gay marriage, broadcast decency, the 10 Commandments Act, a cloning ban, and laws protecting "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
A misguided, poorly planned, poorly executed war in Iraq has killed thousands of America's finest; gas prices are soaring for the wrong reasons (filling the bank accounts of oil company executives); and the "roaring economy" is being built on the back of a massive deficit that, when the chickens come home to roost, is going to break the backs of our children.

And the Fascist wing of the Republican-led Congress chooses to deal with gay marriage and the ten commandments?

God help us.
