"Perhaps, but the Kingdom/Dominion/Reconstructionist doctrine is alive and well in thousands of congregations throughout the land. Remember the "Moral Majority" and other religio-political guerilla groups who would positively chortle to see the Constitution undercut (specifically, church and state) if it served their ends?"

Reconstructionists comprise a very small minority within Calvinism organized around the ideas of the late RJ Rushdoony. They had nothing to do with Falwell's Moral Majority, except perhaps in the fevered imaginations of those who see Thomas Torquemada hiding under every bed.

"The spirit of the thing is still alive today, and I have little doubt that the Kingdommies (sic!) would not flinch from instituting a theocracy as strict as any form of Sharia being practiced today."

Indicating that you should learn what Reconstructionists actually do think instead of letting your imagination run wild.
