Not to forget how the Calvinist New-Born-led religious alliance (Robertson, Weyrich, Falwell, Hagee and many other charismatic crooks and opportunists...) has infiltrated American national life, junking separation between church and state. They controlled the agenda. Montesquieu and the Founding Fathers of the republic must be howling in their graves.
How many thousands of civil servants have been sacked to make room for religious fanatics appointed to civil service jobs. For how long will the religious appointees imprint their wacko absurd agenda and sabotage reason and modern sense?
Even Time magazine used to schmooze about "Rapture" and the end of time.
Then the New-Born fanatics wanted to convert Irak to Christianity. They sent missionaries to Irak touted by Time magazine.
The result? Islamic fundamentalists are killing and are chasing out the Christians of Irak, who have lived there since early Christian times.
That'is what one gets when one allows the taking over of the state by religious intolerant fanatics.
Obama should ponder how to prevent the deleterious religious tide in the future.
