See Danascot's OP "This is one of the most frightening articles I've read in a long time."

The GOP worked diligently, through many outlets and organizations, to build permanent control in government--not just at the fed level but in the local levels as well. School boards, city councils, mayors, governors. They created many propaganda institutions--talk radio, the CATO Institute, The Heritage Foundation, The Weekly Standard, and now Fox News. They enlisted the help of Fundamentalist churches (many of which are now mega-churches, some with tens of thousands of members) riling them up about abortion, evolution, and the "war on Christianity".

The Dem leadership ignored this for 60 years, and now we wonder why we're in the situation we're in...?
