Why do you have to ask why?

I read a blog post this morning about a particularly rabid christofascist opining that the US was being run by and for 'satanists'. Amongst the torrent of stupidity, there was a claim that this supposed 'hidden government' condoned 'paedophilia'. Why, the post author mused, do the religious right always use such claims? Well, it's fucking obvious, isn't it? Who could possibly be a softer target, a more convenient scapegoat, than a group of people no-one would ever dare defend publicly, even if they had reservations about the relentless demonisation of those attracted to younger people. How better than screaming 'they're coming for your children' to terrify the sheeple into bankrolling such idiocy?

Love & best wishes to all
