The Christian Right in this country is getting more and more radical. Now they openly and unashamedly call for gay people to be put to death, entire religions to be banned, and their rigid, pre-1960s social structure to be forced on everyone by rule of law. Ten years ago all of this was completely unthinkable. George Bush, from a social conservative and Christian Reconstructionist perspective, looked pretty tame compared to what you see coming out of the GOP today. You have them stocking up on guns and ammo and making claims like the country will not survive just one more year of the Obama administration. They view Putin as righteous and Obama as working for the devil. Their hatred towards this President is unfathomable. The only time in this country's history I can think of where the hate and anger was worse than today was in 1860.
One of the more alarming things is they view America in 2015 as pure evil and when you view something as evil, you don't have any remorse for doing what you have to do to stop it. I really believe the anger and hatred among the fundamentalist Christian Right is nearing a tipping point in this country and something ugly may be about to happen.

We are talking about America so I meant the radical Christian Right. The Christianity represented and practiced by the likes of Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Theodore Shoebat, Steven Anderson, Kevin Swanson, Rick Wiles, Scott Lively, James Dobson, Tony Perkins, John Hagee, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, and Franklin Graham.

Rev. Wright 'God damn America' didn't make the list!

Sounds like a challenge! Your love of all things Obumma puts you in a special minority.
For your own safety, don't spout such garbage at work or in public.

A group that calls themselves a church went to Nigeria and stirred up things against gay people got some laws enacted and the result was some gay people getting murdered. Real Christians are that bunch.
People who for one reason or another don't fall in line with the "Moral Majority" in this country are justified to fear what might happen to them if these people seized power, especially if they came to power by coup or revolution and therefore wouldn't be subject to the Bill of Rights.
Some of the most extreme, like Theodore Shoebat, would be to America and Christianity what ISIS is to Syria and Islam. Don't believe me? Just do a quick Google search for some of the things he's said.
