The bitter enemies of intellectual and indeed, physical freedoms yet lurk among us like the scaberous parasites that they are. They got swatted right smartly in this election, but not nearly hard enough. Election 2008 is over and the Religious Right is facing a new political reality.
This analysis is also available as a PDF document.
After eight years of unprecedented access to the White House and (until 2006) in the halls of Congress, Religious Right organizations are about to lose a lot of clout with much of official Washington and could see their influence at the national level diminished.
But it's unlikely any of these organizations will close down. Rather, they will organize to defeat individual-freedom initiatives put forward by President Barack Obama, and they will place more emphasis on state and local governments as a way to press their agenda forward. (Religious Right groups enjoyed some success on Tuesday night with state ballot referenda.)

And piss all over a cracker today!
