“It’s enough to make one take a breath and wonder at the point of struggling. It’s one thing to, say, beat John McCain in the presidential election. It’s one thing to defeat a bad bit of legislation. It’s also good to, say, win marriage rights for gays and lesbians…but of course, we can’t seem to do that, can we? But all these things happen in the public, democratic arena, so it’s something else entirely when one finds that regardless of elections, regardless of law, constitutions, ideals, or simple decency, an enormous shadow organization of religious elitist zealots is making policy without accountability to anyone. How do you fight what hardly acknowledges its own existence?”
