In Ohio and across the country, leaders of a political movement opposed to basic principles of American democracy seek to create a "Christian nation." While claiming up and down they do not want a theocracy, their acts, associations and the words used among themselves prove otherwise. They have spent the past thirty years developing an elaborate grassroots infrastructure while the rest of us moderate Ohioans and Americans have functioned in a "business as usual" manner.. . .
Back in 1989, when founding the Christian Coalition Pat Robertson said:
The mission of the Christian Coalition is simple. It is to mobilize Christians -- one precinct at a time, one community at a time -- until once again we are the head and not the tail, and at the top rather than the bottom of our political system.
I've been saying it for a while.
People just don't seem to get it that the anti-gay and anti-choice initiatives are just the opening wedge. (And, in the larger context, "anti-choice" is just what this movement is about, across the board.)
