What JohninKS said, with emphasis on what Charley Noble's neice termed Christian Nationalists. They started out with an extreme, but very canny, agenda many years ago, starting out small by going after positions on school boards, town councils, etc. They continued on, hand in hand with the likes of Cheney, Rove, et al and have achieved one of their ultimate goals by placing the puppet shrub in the White House.

I find that to be one of best analysis I've read in his six years in office. Another interesting read might be the first few "Bushwhacked" threads, right here,where many predicted, accurately it seems, that we would come to such as now, esp. in regards to Iraq.

I think our main hope lies in how the people feel/percieve Iraq. Folks are not happy about it. It is the top thing folks say they are concerned about and Congresss is not listening. A couple of weeks ago they wasted time on the gay marriage dead horse; today they debated flag-burning. May the god/goddess/reason/consciousness/etc. of each person's heart bring them to realise the importance of doing all they can to effect a change, before it comes to a revolution.DUMP THE RED HERRING CONGRESS!
