The Thin End of the Wedge

Well, know we know why Bill O'Reilly is concerned about the loss of "Merry Christmas" from the public vocabulary.

Several conservative groups, meanwhile, plan a major push beginning Monday to portray Alito's opponents as anti-God. Talking points for the effort, which will involve ads and grass-roots organizations, were laid out in a strategy memo by Grassfire.org, which opposes abortion and same-sex marriage. Alito's opponents are united by "an agenda to purge any and all references to religion from our public life," the memo says.

The coalition, which includes the Judicial Confirmation Network, plans to send 2.3 million e-mails on the subject and hopes to "flood Senate offices with letters, faxes and phone calls." It will be joined in the effort by Fidelis, a Roman Catholic organization that describes itself as "pro-life, pro-family and pro-religious liberty."
"Religious liberty," apparently, starts with insisting what words stores can use in their advertising, and extends to who is to be seated on the Supreme Court of the United States.

And it is clear what they expect from Alito, too, his disservations to the contrary.
