Description

Twenty five years back, when Pat Robertson and other radio and televangelists first talked of america being a Christian country that will develop a global Christian empire, it had been difficult to consider such hyperbolic rhetoric significantly. Such vocabulary no further seems like hyperbole but poses, alternatively, nowadays, an extremely real danger to our life-style and the liberty. In American Fascists, Chris Hedges, experienced reporter and writer of the National Book Award finalist War Is just a Force That Gives Us Meaning, troubles the Christian Rightis spiritual authenticity and proposes that at its core it's a large activity motivated by unbridled nationalism and a hate for the open culture. Bushes, who spent my youth in rural parishes in upstate Ny where his father was a Presbyterian pastor, assaults the motion as somebody steeped in the Bible and Christian history.
