Eventually one of these "private communities" would come to dominate the rest of the body politic

A Christian Reconstructionist, which seems to be the ideology you are advocating, would have to come to power violently and in our country the military, the intelligence agencies or the federal law enforcement agencies would kill him within 24 hours. American culture is still very anglo. We have a natural hatred for extremists and christian reconstruction is very much an extremist ideology.

Being, a monarchist doesn't neccessitate being a Christian Reconstructionist. "Christian reconstruction is very much an extremist ideology."

So, you say. You don't even know what it is about apparently. I haven't be converted over to their creed, but I know some who are... And the accusations you say could not be further from the truth.

They are very much akin to the covenant origins of the American polity and America's Christian heritage... They simply want the state they live under to acknowledge the divinity of Christ similar to Ireland's Constitution. They don't want the state to secularize education. They don't believe so much in unity of church and state as they believe that the state should acknowledge the proper sphere of the church's influence. The modern welfare state has displace civil society's intermediary associations between individual and state. Natural institutions in a civil society like community, family, church, charity and other voluntary associations have been displaced by state intervention and supremacy over all affairs and have reduced our society to amoral hyperatomized individuals... See the conservative sociologist Robert Nisbet's book, The Quest for Community.

And it is downright dishonest for you to say "the intelligence agencies or the federal law enforcement agencies would kill him within 24 hours. American culture is still very anglo. We have a natural hatred for extremists and christian reconstruction is very much an extremist ideology."

First, they wouldn't have the federal police state... the would localize powers commensurate with the Constitution.
See the National Reform Association's book Explicitly Christian Politics for more information.

Okay, Neal Boortz. You seem to think Christians in power is equivalent to Jacobin French Revolutionaries who are all to eager to guillotine people.

You irritate me... Go to some leftist forum and spout your anti-Christian rhetoric.
