The Democratic Community: Meet the Theocrats

I don't imagine any of us completely comprehends how dire a threat to our open society the Christian Right is: they are intent, they are disciplined, and most of all they are righteous. Below, for your convenience, are links to a series of posts called Blog Against Theocracy. At the last is a link to an essay that you must read about Christian "sleeper cells" discovered by a reporter for Harper's and reported in an article entitled, "Jesus Plus Nothing: Undercover among America’s secret theocrats." If you missed it, and I don't doubt most people did, it is truly terrifying, and if you read nothing else linked from this post, read that. As anyone who knows me will testify (on a bible, if required), I am the farthest thing from a conspiracy theorist, having been immunized by growing up in the hermetic embrace of Christian paranoia (as a Roman Catholic, for whom American history is one long conspiracy against Rome), but this is real. In the short run, we are lucky that Bush and Cheney have made a botch of things and set back the cause, but we are dealing with true believers; as Ahnold might say, they'll be back.
