I didn't say it was happening said they talked about a group of extremely right conservatives who wanted to.....Big difference. If you don't believe there are people that are willing to go that far you are sadly mistaken. Ever hear of scandals where people use religion to take advantage of others and their money? Not really any different.

Christians only make up about 1/3 of the world population. So you mean to say 2 out of 3 people you meet are crazy nuts?

That's common knowledge about Ralph Reed and the NC smear campaign against McCain.

The rest of it... sounds great but I doubt she puts in stuff like the Ari Fleischer thing.

A few years ago there was that woman who took down the Christian televangelist guy, that he'd been paying off, dont remember the details... but that's the kind of thing that does damage, things they'd pay you off not to tell.

Linn uses the Christian Right's own words and actions to show the extent to which it is trying to reshape both American politics and Christianity into its own image.
And of course the loony left would never think of doing anything at all like that...

Either way I liked this book.

Do you feel the same about re-writing history books? Because a lot of that is going on and it's being taught to your children or I should say not taught since much of the problem is omission...

In case you may have missed it.."any narrow viewpoint" dontcha know! I invite you to read a few pages and respond if you think Linn's book is a "loony left" point of view.
