1. Why can't the U.S. be world class?
We need to run these weirdos back under their rock!

2. The Religious Reich is a VERY powerful movement
It's not like there are just "a few weirdos" that we can chase out of town. They are massive, organized, funded, and entrenched. They have a massive system of private schools where children are rigorously indoctrinated into their beliefs.

They have huge mailing lists, email lists, prayer lists, and all manner of deeply mature grassroots organizations. They have millions of followers who attend meetings they hold every single week! How many political organizations do you know that draw millions to meetings 52 times a year?

Fundamentalist Radical Clerics such as Falwell, Dobson, and Robertson are not merely medieval throwbacks or misguided religious hacks. They are part of a well organized subversionary movement known as "Dominionism".

Dominionism constitutes a serious threat to American Democracy. These Radical Clerics have developed and are executing a detailed plan to gradually replace the free, secular democratic society of the United States with a Theocracy.

It is critical that people become aware of the extreme agenda these people have for the United States and ultimately for the world. The results of the 2004 Presidential Election were not a fluke or something that was drummed up over a period of months. It has been in planning for over 20 years, and what we are seeing take place now is, in the words of Katherine Yurica, "the swift advance of a planned coup".

The articles below are critical for understanding the Dominionist movement; for realizing how real and how detailed their plans are; and to become aware of how far they have come toward achieving their goals.

3. Thank you for the links!
They'll make for great reading.

Earlier in another post, I did mention that a dangerous cult has taken over. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so flip about this. :(

4. American science/math education is dead. No one will study here anymore.
We may even have to start sending our kids overseas to be educated.
