2. The Christian Fascist army of young people which Pat Robertson
....Jerry Falwell and the other Dominionists have dreamed of installing in the nation's capital and in every other branch of federal, state and local governmental agencies.

<snip>
Dominionism is a trend in Protestant Christian evangelicalism and fundamentalism, primarily, though not exclusively, in the United States, that seeks to establish specific political policies based on religious beliefs.

It is most often used to describe politically active conservative Christians with a specific agenda. The term is rarely used as a self-description; many feel it is a loaded or pejorative term, and use of the term is primarily limited to critics of the Christian Right.

The term emerged in relation to the Christian Right in the mid-1990s, but became more widely known due in large part to the U.S. presidential election, 2004 where the media attributed Republican wins to Evangelical voters in Red states who voted for moral values.<1> A number of authors, among them Andrew Sullivan, use the terms Christianism or Christianist in place of Dominionism in an attempt to "take back the word Christian (from) the religious right."<2>

5. Shock and Awe
I am in shock over the many years of planning and execution of those plans that the Xtion right has been accomplishing in the fascist takeover of our country. I am in awe of their patience and unrelenting progress toward their goals.
We call Bush and his admin "dumb" and "incompetent" at our own peril. We just have not quite figured out what the goal of this admin is, or find it too abhorrent to even contemplate.
If, it was to drain the Treasury and give it to the rich, this admin is well on the way to accomplishing what Reagan set in motion. That is not being incompetent and one need not be a tinfoil hatter to figure this one out.
The Xtion right, which, of course, is neither, has penetrated every aspect of life in our country.
I would dearly love to see an in depth discussion on this board, with facts, of course, on the real goal of the Bush Admin and his fundie groupies.
After 6 years of this putrid partnership, why do we have trouble admitting that this hydra has totally outflanked us all. They did it with patience, indepth planning, a clear and concise black and white goal. They have put us in the position of playing whacka mole and we are not doing it well.

7. Ironic that so many who believe the Rapture is imminent
would spend that much time and effort on a political power grab.

Why did she take "an indefinite leave" from DOJ? I'm guessing, not a European vacation!!
