Pence & Moore Represent A Push & A Slide Toward Bible Based Government. [View all]

The radical right wing religionists are already in many parts of the government. When you have a radical pastor holding prayer vigils in the White House and you have some devout radical Christians in the Cabinet you already have strong influence that will have an impact.

Moore if anything represents a religious base that is serious about making America great again via Christian values. That movement means the end of women's civil rights as wall as LGBT and even minorities. They serious want to end any kind of secular government.

This radical agenda means turning over domestic programs like health care, food stamp money, unemployment and labor programs over to the churches. Such a domain is pre 20th century thinking where government had virtually no role in these areas. Churches and charities is where these responsibilities resided. Moore represents that belief system.
