Was listening to some crazy talk from Repubican Marilyn Musgrave, Rep. for Colorado about how the most critical issues facing America are winning the "culture war", following God and banning Gay marriage. Reminds me of another movement that was very similar in tone:
"Today Christians ? stand at the head of [this country]? I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit ? We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the *poison of immorality* which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of *liberal excess* during the past ? (few) years."
Adolf Hitler: [The Speeches of Adolph Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942), pg. 871-872]
When are Americans going to wake up to what the Religious Right has done to the country?
