   I find that a comparison with the islamic fundamentalist "Twelvers" works better with the whole 9/12 Project and all.
   
   hence "9-Twelvers"

   Some people are going to fall over and faint when I say this, but is the religious right a monolithic bloc?

      By religious right we mean the Moral Majority type Christian Right voters. I am a Christian libertarian who believes, and can quote many bible verses to support my point, that tyranny is an abomination and earthly power should be kept only to it's practical purpose and the handful of things it has to do.

   The religious right are not the Republican Party. It just seems that way because they shout the loudest and use language that gets picked up by the media.
   
   W Bush scraped into office in the most contentious election in US history having heavily courted the evangelical right wing.
   
   It is highly unlikely that W Bush would have had a second term if it were not for events and the way he capitalised on them. Lets not forget the declarations of victory, in particular his landing in a twin seater on an aircraft carrier.
   
   In fact it was pretty much odds on for a McCain victory until the unprecedented failure of the US economy caused a world wide collapse.
   
   Unfortunately for the Republican Party it's Christian right wing think they are still in power, or at least Ought to be.

      What's more it's a wing of the party that probably won't grow, as the groups that they supposedly could expand in to have other priorities. In general, the populist right are probably the strongest wing of the party right now, as a near victory in borderline liberal Albany, NY (US congress) and a gradual shift of Minnesota towards the Republican spread not long ago proved.

      Nothing very Christian about that coalition.

      Maybe my eyes aren't open wide enough, but this would seem to be on an altogether different level than the CC birther link. Or is there something that caught your eye? I ask, because while I oppose those kinds of politics, it is still rooted in something like reality (and faith), instead of mere paranoia and conspiracy theory. What am I missing? What makes this "Scarytown"?

      Didn't God make Texas and give Texas oilmen oil to further the Lord's good work of destroying the Lord's creation?
