Perhaps I didn't emphasize indirectly enough. They sparked a fundamental shift in the mentality of the government and the nation. "Give me liberty or give me death" is a thing of the past. They haven't done anything directly since 2001 because they haven't had to; we've taken care of it for them. Genius. Portraying Christians like this is akin to saying all Muslims are terrorists. I'm also interested as to where you got that definition. Not that I support fundamentalist whackjobs, by any means.
