If so, it is about time!
The crusading-crackpots have been complicit in changing our Democracy into something else; some horrble, twisted lie.
They have done the same thing to the message of the Christ.
It is high time they were challenged!
The Free Press -- Independent News Media - Election Issues:
"Right-wing church movements have been a staple of American politics since well before the 1692 witch trials at Salem. But only in the past few decades has the extremist church served as the grassroots base for a new breed of corporate totalitarianism. That unholy union has been nowhere more powerful than here in Ohio, and it has finally provoked a response from the state's mainstream churches.
With huge torrents of cash from Richard Mellon Scaife, the Ahmanson family and other super-rich ultra-rightists, the fundamentalist church has formed the popular network that has spawned the Bush catastrophe. The totalitarian alliance between pulpit, corporation and military is unique in U.S. history.
With contempt for the Constitution, and unholy opposition to separation of church and state, ultra-rich ultra-right preachers like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, self-proclaimed messiahs like Rev. Moon, and sanctimonious errand boys like Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist, have turned America into a 'Christo-fascist' empire whose twice-unelected executive claims Divine right to rule. When it comes to their views on violence, empire, greed and intolerance, these are the most un-Christian men in America. It's no accident that George W. Bush's first words about the war to follow 9/11 had to do with a 'Christian Crusade' against Islam. And, instead of consulting his father, a former President, W. chose to consult 'a higher father.' "
