Subject: RE: BS: GB and the Rise of Christian Fascism..
The rise of Christian Nationalism, unlike the capitalist market economy, is a relatively new movement. You can trace some of the players back to the John Birch Society but as a movement it didn't really become part of an administration, in body and spirit, until George W. Bush et al took over in 1990.

Some of the players were appointed to the FDA, which is why people who would like access to the "morning after pill" still find it extremely difficult to procure it.

I find it encouraging that a young woman such as Michelle Goldberg has managed to bring together as much material on this movement as she has, and place it into context.

The founding fathers of this country were wise to uphold the right of religious freedom while at the same time prohibiting the establishment of a state religion.

Of course, some Christians Nationalists are even attempting to revise that interpretation of our nation's history.
