The Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party

[Kazak]

Theocracy is derived from the two Greek words Qeo/j(Theos) meaning "God" and kra/tein (cratein) meaning "to rule." Theocracy is the civil rule of God, or the belief in government by divine guidance.

The powerful Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, Tom DeLay (R-TX) embodies government by divine guidance:


He is using me, all the time, everywhere, to stand up for a biblical worldview in everything that I do and everywhere I am. He is training me.

Tom DeLay represents an ultraconservative religious movement seeking to impose a narrow theological agenda on secular society. Chip Berlet and Margaret Quigley, senior analysts at Political Research Associates, have named this movement the theocratic right:

The predominantly Christian leadership envisions a religiously-based authoritarian society; therefore we prefer to describe this movement as the "theocratic right."

2. Very good work, Joan Bokaer from Cornell U.

"Life and Liberty for All Who Believe" from the video page link at the top of the homepage or here

Is like home movies of when this crap was being put together. It's from a 1982 video done by PFAW. Check out the statement of James Robison at the end. Check out the belching "preachers" - hear them say that "it would be the state" that puts the gays to death. Also, you get to see Paul Weyrich as he's about to pop a fascist blood vessel yapping.

Might note that Falwell, LaHaye, and Viguerie, all with major roles in the process and all funded by Moon at one time or another. Moon is their Savior, their go to guy.

Have you ever read the letter LaHaye sent Moon's main political operative at the time?

Check it out.
