"With God on Our Side: Bush"?????
Anyone ever see this documentary? Its on Sundance now. Its about the religious right's power and influence in politics. Starts with raygun and h.w. bush. Very scary!!!!

It really freaks me out how many simple-minded zealouts there are in this country. IMO, religious politics is the single-most destructive thing in America, and will be our downfall.

this PBS Frontline Special at:


http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jesus/

This PBS Frontline Special video may be obtained for a small cost, I believe, from PBS (see the above url hyperlink to obtain a copy), or free from your local public library (ask them to get it for you if it's not available).

2. And keep in mind the problems in the Middle East (according to repubs)
is radical fundamentalism. Without radical clerics in power, the Middle East would be another oasis like here in the US.

10. Speaking of radical fundamentalism...
I think Kerry, or one of his surrogates, ought to tell the people something like this, using the Bible:

While the Bushies claim to fight the danger of radical Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East, they conveniently ignore the danger of radical Christian fundamentalism right here at home. They're seeing the radical Islamic speck in their brother's eye, yet they don't see the radical Christian log in their own.

9. thanks for the heads-up w/ this program . . .
"With God on Our Side: George W. Bush and the Religious Right in America," now playing on the Sundance Channel . . . again here's the url at http://www.sho.com/site/schedules/product_page.do?seriesid=0&episodeid=122989

as for Jerry Falwell and his buddy Pat Robertson? May they suffer the consequences that they seek to bestow on others:

Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson
PLACING BLAME for 9-11-01
http://cronus.com/images/jerry_falwell_patty_robertson.mp3

Falwell: "I really believe that the pagans and
the abortionists and the feminists and the gays
and the lesbians . . . ACLU (and the) People for
the American Way, all of them who try to secularize
America -- I point the finger in their face and
say 'you helped this (9-11-01) happen.' "

Robertson: "I totally concur. . . . We have adopted that
agenda at the highest levels of our government . . .
and the top people is, of course, the court system ."

11. No prob....
I just think its important for people to learn how the evangelists and christians are taking control of this country, and how dangerous it is, for those of us who dont believe in religion. Its just very sad to see 2000 year old rules of the land make their way back into a society where they bare no relevance.
