agenda, agenda...?

Let's talk about who has an agenda.

The christianists constantly employ the use of amorphous phrases such as the liberal agenda, a homosexual agenda, and an anti-christian agenda as a tactic to incite fear, and they hide behind the conservative agenda. But who has the the biggest agenda?

Yeah, right, the christitanist agenda. And what is that agenda?

The infiltration of the federal government by large numbers of people seeking to impose a religious agenda — which is very different from simply being people of faith — is one of the most important stories of the last six years. It’s also a story that tends to go underreported, perhaps because journalists are afraid of sounding like conspiracy theorists.

But this conspiracy is no theory. The official platform of the Texas Republican Party pledges to “dispel the myth of the separation of church and state.” And the Texas Republicans now running the country are doing their best to fulfill that pledge. For God’s Sake, Paul Krugman, New York Times op ed, Friday, April 13, 2007

Please, read the entire op ed by Krugman by clicking on the link. It succinctly puts into perspective what's been going on not just for the last 6 years but for the last 26 years.

Can anyone say that no one hasn't seen it coming? How did it get this far? AND, though it hasn't been widely spotlighted to date, as Krugman points out, do people realize that the US is in the midst of possibly not only its biggest constitutional crisis but also in a civil war? One that is splitting this country not just apart but into many different segments? A war based in words rather than organized bloodshed?

A religious civil war...

I don't usually take on the role of alarmist, but I think I have referred to this in at least one previous post. If you are not familiar with Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, now, more than ever, people should be aware of it. It scared the sh*t out of me in 1985, again with the movie in 1990, and even more so today. It's been transforming into a possible reality, one step at a time. Could armed camps become a reality?

just asking...
