1. Great interview, Matthew. Thanks.

[blm]

2. I wish MSM would feature Sharlet more.

But...we all know why they won't.

3. Didn't Jeff expose the RW Prayer Group in DC that allowed RW Fundamentalists

to gather and get their policy decisions in sync?

4. Yes. The Family

offers members of the legislature places to stay, as well, when they're in DC.

They talk about using "Hitler or Stalin-like tactics" to establish a theocracy, basically. They take the position that the ends justify the means.

5. That was an excellent article/read. From the DU "Way Back Machine."

I wondered what happened to him. "Harpers Magazine" was it? If you remember.

[RainDog]

6. Yes. It was originally in Harpers

he wrote a book by the name "The Family."

The Harper's article was called "Jesus Plus Nothing."
