Thread Name: BS: History of US radical religious right
Subject: RE: BS: History of US radical religious right
Me thinks this a chicken and the egg arguement, Carol...

Now if Jerry Falwell had become a US Senator I might buy into that but to my knowledge we haven't had many of these folks who have actaully made it into eleted office...

But sure, radical or not is like splitting hairs... It doesn't take too much of a shove to get a religios right to become a radical religious right... Just a little more propaganda in the right, ahhhh, correct places and waalaa... Suicide bomber...

But I am concerned that the country is headed for another round of righties thinkin' that assasinating progressives is just peachy... They have been killing abortion doctors for a couple decades now but have fairly well had the federal governemnt locked up... Now that has changed and they are real pissed off... These folks don't like sharing power... And they hate progressives being in power... And they think that the 1st and 2nd Ammendments were written especially for them... Very bad combinations...
