"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

With Representative Michele Bachmann’s victory in the Ames, Iowa straw poll, and Texas Governor Rick Perry’s triumphal entrance into the GOP presidential primary, there’s been a sudden spike of attention drawn to the extremist religious beliefs both candidates have been associated with – up to and including their belief in Christian dominionism. (In the Texas Observer, the New Yorker, and the Daily Beast, for example.) The responses of denial from both the religious right itself and from the centrist Beltway press have been so incongruous as to be laughable – if only the subject matter weren’t so deadly serious. Those responses need to be answered, but more importantly, we need to have the serious discussion they want to prevent.

People who care about leaving a viable, functioning democracy for their children and grandchildren had better start paying attention to what Christian Reconstruction and Dominionism are all about and the people involved in it.

This article is a very good start at learning what they are all about:
