A minister in Mississippi has referred to the majority of churches in this country as social clubs for losers.

Although I think that this is too severe to be credible--especially considering the overall Paleocon tone of the source article--I suspect that there is at least some truth in this. (A lot of preaching is mealy-mouthed junk [as prophesied for the endtimes in the New Testament].)

I don't think our present political climate is socialist in ideology. I KNOW it is. Even a lot of the conservative groups just argue over the speed in which we want to march to the world socialist goal. Any free trader, UN supporter, or mega-corp supporter is allied with the socialst movement.

The last administration and our present administration are dedicated to the ideal of world government. The disparity comes on the means to reach the end. The label of conservative is used to lull the public into more government control. With the threat of terror, the public is willing to give up any infringement on their Constitutional protections for supposed security.
