It has long been my opinion that Chiistianity is easily adapted to and coopted into Marxism/socialism. It preaches a type of social servitude that can be gathered, institutionalized and eventually imposed by government. In the "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" business it instigates class hatred and resentment of those who prosper through effort. In its exhortation for unconditional love and not being judgmental it pushs people toward a condition of dangerous denial in which the basic corruption beneath the surface slogans of socialism are not recognized.
In my opinion George Bush exhibits a strong component of Christian Marxism. He is determined, for instance, to love Islam as a peaceful religion, when it is not. He issues statements that the wealth of the United States must be shared with other nations. He bears the mark of successful implementation of the theories here attributed to Gramsci.

I won't go "Howlin" in protest. What you said was dead on right.
I believe you're mistaken. I suspect that our president knows Islam for what it is, but is determined to pursue a foreign policy inoffensive to Islam-dominated foreign powers, so as to isolate our present enemies. The alternative is to face open war against a coalition of Islamic states... a quite likely scenario for a hypothetical WWIII.
It's best to not go there, if we can help it.
