Thanks, Yawny. My original objection to MT's article was that his description of the current situation as a simple swap of roles dismisses the real danger. The new McCarthyites don't just challenge the institutions built on Enlightenment principles, they now own and run them. That's the sea change.

BTW, happy to discuss with you why I think atheists don't get elected in this country (and it has nothing to do with politics), maybe another time...
