On to Glory...

Here's a story in the Guardian about how Fundamentalist Christians are actively driving us towards what they view as the rapture. Before you dismiss it, read it.

By the way, yes, I am a Christian. I return to this theme, and probably will do so again, because the separation of church and state is so central to America the idea. I do not believe that leaders in the evangelical christian movement, such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell or leaders such as John Ashcroft, Tom Delay and yes, George Bush, believe that the separation of church and state is a good idea. I do not believe that their first loyalty is to the Constitution. When they read the Declaration of Independence, they see Jesus all over it.

In her amazing piece, The Despoiling of America:
How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State, Katherine Yurica writes about the rise of the Christian Right to political power. It is a long, challenging read. But it is worth the effort.

This is one of the reasons I am attempting to become a candidate on American Candidate. The constitution isn't self-correcting. America lives in you and me. Action is incumbent upon each one of us.
