Subject: So... Where do we go from here???

I love the repartee and the ability to vent that this board gives me, but I can't watch the news anymore w/o heart palpitations kicking in. Religious fascism, people wanting women to be good little uterus slaves, chickenhawks whorng themselves to fundie zealots that want to march on Babylon, blood running up to the horses' bridles.

It's all well and good to joke about fundies and the Right Wing, But I feel that such joshing has brought about a lack of keeping an eye on the right as they have organized, so much so that the got the Supremes to play kingmaker.

Can anyone recommend books, websites, and organizations that are working to make sure that the USA holds on to what tattered shreds of The Enlightenment are left?

I heard an interview with Howard Bloom whose Lucifer Principle is an interesting investigation of memes and the societies that clash over them. In the interview he discussed The People for the American Way. I've checked them out, they seem to be into staunching the Red Tide. (Republicans -- Are they the new Red Menace??)

I can't possibly join every group out there, but I just need to feel that all of us on this board aren't the only folks in America that feel this way...
