The Covert Kingdom:
Thy Will Be Done, On Earth as It Is in Texas
by Joe Bageant
Bageant, an editor and writer, who like Katherine Yurica,
writes from a Pentecostal and Fundamentalist background,

George W. Bush three to one and why their religious beliefs
are hurtling the USA backward to the new Middle Ages
where Dominionism and the Bible reign.
Hung Over in the End Times
If liberal society is to survive the rise
of the Godwacks, we need to start by
calling them what they are
By Joe Bageant “Since George Bush’s
reelection, the Christian nut-jobs have
mounted an assault on my block.” So
begins Bageant’s latest article on the
immoral religious right’s political takeover
of the American government. Hard hitting,
humorous, and filled with the saltiest language
we’ve published on this web site. But don’t
let that stop you! Hung Over in the End Times
is a soul searing essay. Joe Bageant calls
them as he sees them.

by Gregory Stephens.

be aided by their political participation.
A Turn to the (Religious) Right
By Dr. Robert Abele
If John Kerry has anything going for him that
separates him from George W. Bush, it is the
fact that he is not involved in the so-called

given by the media to a well-organized band
of fanatic biblical fundamentalists who are
hell-bent on turning our democracy over to
(their concept of) God.

Marriage On The Rocks By Chuck Muth.
The folks supporting the Federal Marriage Amendment want
people to think it's just a measure to protect marriage. But if
that's the case, why not a constitutional amendment banning
divorce and adultery, as well? Any reasonable person would
have to admit those two have been historically far more harmful
to the institution of marriage than gay unions ever could be, right?

House Passes HR 3313, the
“Marriage Protection Act”
With Two More Dominionist
Bills to Go By Katherine Yurica
By a vote of 233 to 194, the House of
Representatives took the first step in U.S.
history, to change the system of checks
and balances built into the U.S. Constitution.
And read the New York Times editorial that
calls the passage of this bill by even one
house of congress an "outrage."
Pointing out the different planks
in party platforms
By Phyllis Schlafly
Discusses HR 3313. President Bush is quoted by
Schlafly: "We will not stand for judges who undermine
democracy by legislating from the bench and try to
remake America by court order." The platform followed
up by asserting: "The Republican House of Representatives
has responded to this challenge by passing H.R. 3313, a
bill to withdraw jurisdiction from the federal courts over the
Defense of Marriage Act. We urge Congress to use its
Article III power to enact this into law, so that activist federal
judges cannot force 49 other states to approve and recognize
Massachusetts' attempt to redefine marriage."
On Being a Liberal:
The Bible says Christians must strive to be liberal,
so when Bush-Supporters call the Kerry/Edwards'
ticket 'liberal,' aren't they praising and blessing them?
