Thansk for the link, Azizi.
Right you are, BillD, er...I mean correct!LOL
Here's a bit more from this month's issue of Mother Jones:
...Christian Reconstruction—an obscure but increasingly potent theology whose top exponents hold that Christian crusaders must conquer and convert the world, by the sword if necessary, before Jesus will return.
And, from the same article (my emphasis):
George W. Bush has called Reconstruction-influenced theoretician Marvin Olasky "compassionate conservatism's leading thinker," and Olasky served as one of the president's key advisers on the creation of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. Bush also invited Reconstructionist Jack Hayford, a key figure in the Promise Keepers men's group, to give the benediction at his first inaugural. Deposed House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, though his office won't comment on his religious views, governs with what he calls a "biblical worldview"—one of Reconstruction's signature phrases.
