Subject: RE: BS: Another Fascist War in Europe?
There is a rising tide of religious extremism in the US by the Dominionist idea of a Nationalist Christianity. This is on a relatively small but active state. The Dominionists do not want Jewish or any other religion to reflect our country. This is what I would characterize as Christo-fascism. Remember please too about what happened to Matthew Shepherd in Wyoming, a young gay man who was brutalized by this Dominionist kind of thinking. Also, Fred Phelps who obstructed funerals in the US of gay servicepeople and pickets gay pride events as well. You don't think this is fascist?
There are enclaves of these people who are being shielded by the lack of reporting in the US press. I refer you to Chris Hedges and Michele Goldberg's account of this phenomenon.
