America acquires a large disaffected minority

I AM sorry if I and many others are an embarrassment to Terry Prone (Irish Examiner, Nov 8) for expressing an oppinion on the recent US election.

However, we live in a liberal democracy where freedom of expression is an inalienable right. Surely this is exactly why I and many others have articulated concerns over the increasing sway Christian fundamentalism is exerting on public policy in the US.

Ms Prone’s indignation at so-called mass stereotyping ignores the fact that Karl Rove, US President George W Bush’s chief strategist, targeted up to four million evangelical Christian votes.
