GOPer Kevin Phillips on GOP Theocracy

TheNation: "As a great power, the US goes about as far in a theocratic direction as it can when it meets the unfortunate criteria on display in Bush: an elected leader who believes himself to be speaking for God; a ruling party that represents religious true believers and seeks to mobilize the nation's churches; the conviction of many Repubs that govt should be guided by religion and religious leaders; and WH implementation of domestic and internatl political agendas that seem to be driven by religious motivations and biblical worldviews. Is theocracy in the US (1) a legitimate fear (2) a joke, given the nation's rising secular population and moral laxity; (3) a worrisome bias of major GOP constituencies and pressure groups; or (4) all of the above? The last, I would argue." Read the entire article... but be prepared. It is bloodcurdling.
