2. That is not at all surprising to me
I have followed the underlying intent of the Radical Right-wing Religious Right, who have a lot at stake and a very concrete and treasonous plan for America.

Ethnic cleansing is not out of the question if that mindset continues to grow and influence our media, politics, and culture. It is extremist, dogmatic, and zealous. They don't call it Reconstructionist and Dominionist for nothing.

Persecution of various scapegoats is often the historical outcome of fundamentalist uprisings and dominance. Currently, we see three groups in their sights: Muslims, (or anyone who resembles the stereotype) homosexuals, and liberals. Later, there will be others, boiling down to schisms involving the concept of "sufficiantly Christian". It is more about self-rightiousness and power than the intended religiousity.

I am sure some people will consider my apprehensions as alarmist or extreme in themselves. However, if you study the overall platform behind the Christo-fascist agenda, then it should be clear that their goals are not minor and trivial, nor will they back down until their views are made law. They will either face staunch and relentless opposition from people who wake up and begin to understand the implications, or they will succeed via constant barrages within the poltical arena and other spheres.

If they succeed, then America will eventually become a Theocracy with all the implications of such. Mosaic Law is harsh and primative, to say the least.

I also take into consideration, full well, the Neocon, secular side of the Republican coupe, so to speak. They are in bed with the Fundies and have found that their belief-oriented mindset is easily manipulated by the new, improved propaganda of the corporately owned mass media, etc.

We are still at a juncture where that is somewhat debatable and action can prevent or forestall this transformation.
