real insight into the GOP. This is one of those cases, only he's missed the mark ever so slightly.

You see, imperial faith that one has a god given right to rule over the other peoples of the world assumes there will be a future in which to do so. Bush's Empire is not an end in itself, but a means to Armageddon, the end of all things.

It's very seductive for the fundies, this bringing on of disaster for the human race and for the whole planet, because they've been told over and over again that their faith will save them, that they'll be raptured up to paradise before the shit hits the fan. This is what they are fighting for, a ticket to Paradise, not an empire in and of itself.
