Moyers description of religious whack-jobs who want to set US foreign policy to fit (and accelerate) their view of end times events is so completely out of touch and describes precisely no-one within the mainstream conservative movement (paleo, neo, Reagan-ite, whomever).

Is he suggesting that the President and his team are making policy decisions based on considerations of what will spur the return of Jesus Christ?

If so, wow. Talk about delusional. It's almost disturbing how little a prominent leftist like Moyers understands the philosophical roots and pragmatic aims of the current republican (and marginally conservative) leadership of our country. Pathetic.

Bill Moyers is over the edge if he thinks this. What is going on today isn't about "bringing on the end times," it's about preserving our freedom, and spreading it where despots ruled and plotted against us. It's about protecting our citizens here and abroad (like the Federal Government is supposed to do.)

If anything, from the description above, I'd have to say this is about preventing the end, not bringing it on. Of course, the "end times" are not in our control so it would be pretty arrogant to think we could affect it.
