Building a new talk radio as Air America is essential to reclaim the air waves from the foaming at the mouth right wingers.
The evangelicals have started a new type of protestants by capturing a word like BORN AGAIN, and making a whole to do around it.
The speaking in tongues/born again ideologies were not invented in the US or in England, these concept are taken directly from the bible, and exaggerated with "absolutism, and intolerance to anything different. To a great extent, this phenomenon resembles the Islamic fundamentalism/fanatic movement. As hate speeches in fundamentalist churches created extremist robots in this country, so are the hate preaching in fundamentalist Moslem mosques caused the fanatic Islamists to behave irrationally, and violently all over the world.
Knowing that our education system and the mainstream media are controlled by liberals, and the same thing in Europe; how these radical fanatic ideas did flourished and took roots so fast in the US much more than Europe. I am going to speculate here, and I hope for you to correct me if I am wrong. First the "Abortion Issue" was stressed and talked about in absolute unbending terms. This conveyed the idea that the whole world is hinging on that issue, and nothing else. As that issue kept bubbling hotter, and hotter on the right; and as the mainstream religious leaders lined up to back opposition to abortion, and not to "capital punishment", it was apparent that the feminist/liberal opposition are the bad guys. Enter the second factor that is TALK RADIO! The appearance of right wing talk show (Rush Limbaugh) on the radio was also a great factor. As people were talking among themselves about the tyranny of the left leaning media, and complaining about "killing babies" as their preacher or priest called it, here comes a new three hours diatribe that affirms such stupid absolutism. Many Muslims support cutting the throat of enemy infidels! That barbarism in our day and age some times is expressed by very rational college educated Muslim doctors, who have been brain washed with the fanatic absolutism.
First listening to Rush was mot a big deal as far as the left is concerned; it was only redneck type people who listened to that diatribe. Even good prestigious corporations did not advertise on such extremist show because they did not want to be known to support such divisive nonsense. Then, Rush managed to gain acceptance, and was followed by cadre of right wingers to the tune of 24x7 right wing propaganda that polluted and recruited millions of new radical right wingers. To give an example, Rush refused to say one negative word about big SUVs, consequently the Bush administration would never touch that subject, and the population, who are observing the dramatic jump from $1 gallon of gas to $2.5 are curiously silent too. Mind you, this is directly hitting their pocket book, but, they are programmed robots not say a bad word against anything that Rush says. Another example can be found in some poor workers who lost their jobs to India, and have listened to the Bush administration defending such policy, but yet went to vote for Bush.
It has been more than a decade of activism absolutism, foaming at the mouth preachers on TV, and no organized response from the liberals.
Invading another country under false pretense, and wasting several hundred billion dollars, and thousands of casualties could have been easily considered an abuse of power, and an impeachable offense. However, no one on the left could have said such a thing in fear of being called anti-America.
The right used god/country to be on their side, and consequently castrated all the opposition. Anti-Semitic was cultivated as the most evil label to throw at people, and the Republicans managed to snatch such vial hate-filled label to throw against their opposition too. Once your support is absolute, and your followers are programmed robots, then you can do no wrong. Prince Machiavelli is preaching to the Bush regime to lie to the people for their own good.
