I've come to the conclusion that the current fad of the left of blaming
all the ills of the country on the Christian Right as an act of mental
masturbation of a group that lost contact with the mainstream in 1968
and never has caught up. Even in this election, the percentage of
"Christian" voters was nearly the same as in past elections. But it's
easier to blame the "Christians" than to admit that the party supported
unpopular social views while failing to articulate a clearly defined
alternative to the present administration.

I personally feel that mindless superstition and senseless rituals are
all that seperate us from the animals, but blaming the "Christians" for
the failure of the Democratic party and the percieved lack of
environmental concern of the present administration is laughable.


Larry,

Sadly, this agenda is real. It was first expounded by James Watt about
20 years ago, and there are individuals in Bush's cabinet who also hold
this view. Nobody said that this was a mainstream movement, nor that it
was the agenda of all protestent religions, just that it exists. Sadly,
these cultists are in positions of power in our government. Moyer is not
the only individual who has stated this, he is just one of many
competent journalists who have.
