"The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power"


New book probably goes over the top

Note to my readers: Because of the conversation that I am having with Jeff Sharlet in comments for this thread, this will stay the top entry for a while.

Jason Pitzl-Waters has a pretty good interview with Jeff Sharlet about his new book.

Now I don't think that there really is a Christian conspiracy to take over the country. There are some very misguided people, including certain evangelicals at the Air Force Academy, that I keep tripping over here and there. There is the Dominist movement, but I don't think it is really all that organized.

Anymore than the progressive movement to defend against the theocrats is organized.

Frankly the idea of a generations-long secret plan isn't all that likely. People don't keep secrets all that well.

Still, this is a book I think I will buy.

There are some people and groups I keep on a Watch List.
