I know.
I'm reading his book at the moment. IMO he's a little too tin-foily when he writes about the role of Big Oil in promoting the Iraq war, but so far his analysis of the influence of the fringe of the fundamentalist movement seems to be reasonably accurate.
So you believe that participation by traditional Christian believers in politics and their exercising their civic rights under our constitution constitutes a "threat"? So, was America a theocracy for the two centuries of its constitutional existence because almost all political officials have been believing Christians? Do you believe that Christians should somehow be excluded from the judiciary by religious tests such as that proposed by Senator Schumer (i.e., one who has "deep personal beliefs" that abortion is immoral should on that basis be excluded from the judiciary)? In any event, please cite one major traditional Christian public speaker who remotely says anything about overthrowing our constitutional system and imposing a theocracy. Please cite one scintilla of evidence that Christian believers in this country want to outlaw the practice of other religions or no religions or "impose" their beliefs on others the way the mullahcracy in Iran does or that of the Taliban did. And why is it that it is perfectly fine when liberals use the government to impose their moral beliefs on the rest of society, e.g., on sexual activity through public school indoctrination and government promotion of homosexual activity through civil same sex "marriage"? Liberals essentially want to "establish" their own liberal social religion and enforce it using the government. Just look at the hate-filled anti-Catholic and anti-Christian statements of the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco in recent days.
Let me know if you recommend it as a read; I have so many things waiting for my attention at the moment, I was hoping it would be enough that I saw his interview on C-SPAN this weekend (with Grover Norquist interviewing him!).
Bought the book yesterday and looking forward to it. I too had to laugh at the claims on this thread that he is a "leftist".
