Gus, very interesting article. Thanks. It's clear that the fundamentalist/non-fundamentalist battle lines are being drawn and that all political views will be radicalized. As the article says, there will be no middle ground. That's certainly what W & Co are trying to do. It is also clear that Zionism is now a fundamentalist "religion" and that it has common cause with Christian fundamentalism. I have felt one can attribute this to the brilliant insight of the GOP management who were clearly able to persuade the Christian militias and other Christian fundamentalists to drop their Antisemitism and, in fact, throw their lot behind Jewish business interests and the Zionist cause. Or perhaps it was simply a function of the propaganda associated with 9-11. Indeed, it's also conceivable that Christian fundamentalist leaders like Robertson and Fallwell could have been manipulated by Zionist interests to stop their crusade against ZOG and replace it with one against Islam. I know Netanyahu "preached" to them and embraced them. Whatever has happened, it is clearly necessary to address the reasons behind the synthesis of the new quasi-religious monster, which you, correctly, call Judeofascism. I say quasi-religious because it is actually based on concepts which are anti-religious. Indeed, there are many who believe W is the Anti-Christ (whatever that is) -- and not without good reason. google.com

Thanks, great article. This rise of Christian fundamentalism/facism has been going on for decades. I have a feeling that it might have actually peaked over the past 10 years. Certainly, electing a Republican Congress was a major achievement for this christain movement. But, that Republican Congress really hasn't been able to get much done in the way of conservative social issues. Also, GWB was their man, and he might be going down in flames this fall. He's certainly bastardized the whole movement with this focus on a religious war with Islam, and a social agenda that is sometimes at odds with conservatives, like expanding Medicare and the scope of the federal government. I have no doubts, these people aren't done trying to intrude on our lives, but I have a feeling that they might have reached their high water mark in the 1990s, and will be a waning influence in coming years. Judge Roy Black's rebuke is another example of their waning influence, and that happened in a conservative Bible Belt state. They're still out there, but they won't be so influential in coming years, especially if the tide elects Democrats this fall.
