There is, in fact, a fringe Christian group of “Dominionists” or “Reconstructionists,” who really would like to see an American theocracy, and a return to the death penalty for blasphemy, adultery, sodomy, and witchcraft. The dystopian political program of this utterly marginal, extremist sect has absolutely no traction with anyone of significance.

Nor does it have any traction with those of us who are not of a whole lot of significance. Man oh man, this is pretty funny, unless you harken back to the days, and I'm talking about the 60s, when there were Protestants who believed we Catholics were amassing guns in our basements to take over the country.

Shocking as it seems, Dominionists have gained extensive control of the Republican party, and the apparatus of government throughout the United States. Yet Dominionists continue to operate in secrecy. It is estimated that 35 million Americans who call themselves Christian adhere to Dominionism, although most of them are unaware of the true nature of their own beliefs and goals. Dominionism has met its timetable for the complete takeover of the American government. It would be a mistake, by the way, to think of Dominionists as fundamentalist Protestants alone. Dominionism has stealthily swept over America, incorporating conservative Roman Catholics and Episcopalians within its ranks. And of course, Dominionists are allied with the neoconservative followers of the political philosopher, Leo Strauss. The quest of these neoconservatives for power and world domination is a self-conscious program of pure, unmitigated evil.

BWA HAHAHAHA

Among other things, this is what biblical illiteracy leads to.

The fact that this is being deliberately spread by the left to create fear and that it will actually be BELIEVED is truly scary.

Looks like Stan the man Kurtz never lets a little thing like the truth get in the way of his argument. He's also a lousy student of history.

The most disturbing part of the Harper’s cover story (the one by Chris Hedges) was the attempt to link Christian conservatives with Hitler and fascism.

Would that be the same NYT war correspondent Chris Hedges that was told to STFU when he started ranting and raving anti-war/anti-US rhetoric at a college commencement several years ago?

I place my vote for Ann Coulter as the Dominatrix of the Dominionists (obligatory AC photo must be inserted later in thread).

The Lefties have really gone down into the fever swamps. The rage and hate is of a pitch I've never seen. You think it couldn't get any worse and then fruitcake rantings like a fascist Christian takeover emerges in what passes for the Leftist mainstream shows these people have really lost grip on reality. They're nuttier than the ol' John Birchers ever were. At least there was a basis for a world-wide Communist conspiracy. There is none for the notion of a Christian Dominionist conspiracy.
