The quest for the supernatural and the desire for Big Government both spring from the same source: A desire to be taken care of and controlled by others. Supernaturalism is one unhealthy manifestation of this desire; and Big Government is another. The supernaturalist yearns to be cared for by “God” or “Jesus” or “Allah.” The socialist yearns to be cared for by Barack, by Mr. Roosevelt or by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Recently I was talking with someone who said, "Can't I be against Islam without being a racist?"

It told her she'd get no argument from me. We agreed that the problem with Islam is that, as a religion, it's committed to the destruction of liberty and freedom. Islam's apologists will be quick to hysterically scream, "But that's not true of the moderate Muslims!"
