Immer: American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America

During the tenure of George W Bush, after a group cycling effort, a conservative friend (I am liberal) asked me if I knew why we went to war in Iraq. I muttered something about muddled intelligence to which he replied, “no, your wrong.” He said we were in Iraq because of abortion. Incredulous, I asked how. He replied that Bush received the evangelical vote because he was pro-life rather than the Pro-choice of Gore. In that contested election, it was all that mattered.

We have just had another contested election where the winner received the electoral vote majority, but not the popular, with the evangelical block and the forgotten remnants of much of middle America voting for the current occupant of the Oval Office.

MaximumG: I found this book to quite frightening because while being a christian myself I have often found the hard line views of the christian right to be not only repugnant but a violation of democratic ideals.

They propose returning to what they call is a christian nation and yet fail to misunderstand that the founding fathers of America put a barrier between church and state for the very protection of the nation itself for hat I believe was to ensure that all human being irregardless of their race or religion would be treated equally and if one religion organisation was running of the country it would automatically see those a not of their own religion as a threat to there authority just like the catholic church saw the Cathars and the idea of living in a world run by these christian fundamentalists is quite scary considering what some of them propose.

The book begins with the author stating out by talking about his early life and about how his father was a priest who supported the civil-rights movement which was highly unpopular in his rural area and who then worked a gay-rights activist and who found out when his son's college had no gay and lesbian organization he got...

Johnny B: Democracy is something you either participate in, value and defend, or you will find one day that you don't have it anymore. This book provides a comprehensive description and insight into the organisations presently active in the determined attempts to obliterate the Democracy you take for granted.

This is a war that the Christian Fundamentalists are hoping to win by stealth. In this war the application of knowledge is power and they are depending on your ignorance that their ultimate objective that one day you will wake up and find that you are in a totalitarian state governed under the rule of a book of magic.

David Young: An interesting analysis of the mutual interests of the religious right,big business and right wing politics in the US.It also examines the hidden anti-democratic agenda of the religious right as well as the alleged subterfuge used in attempting to realize its vision for setting up a christian theocracy in America and what it might mean for those who do not share its values.
