I usually avoid politics here — it so easily stirs people up and too easily lends itself to people carrying on about things they don’t really know about. But I just read an article this evening that astounds me. A man named Chris Hedges has written a book titled American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America. He asserts that “Those arrayed against American democracy [i.e., evangelical Christians] are waiting for a moment to strike, a national crisis that will allow them to shred the Constitution in the name of national security and strength” (pp. 201–202).

Since when are Christians arrayed against democracy and just waiting to shred the Constitution???

For a review of the ridiculousness and inconsistencies of this book, see this article.
