Man, this shit is really hitting critical mass. Studios hiring "Christian consultants" to make sure they aren't pissing off jeebus freaks while everything is getting blowdsed up on the screen? Dub has galvanized these folks for real. Yikes.
This is also the latest in a series of troubling articles I've recently read on the christianists return to prominence. GQ reported on a group of secessionists who are recruiting fundamentalist bible thumpers to move to South Carolina, so they can begin taking over the local government, county by county. Their goal is to establish a majority, overturn Roe V. Wade, outlaw gay marriage, etc. The New Yorker had a profile about a month ago on a conservative college not far from DC that courts home schoolers and grooms young politicos to lead tomorrow's Christian right.
Color me frightened.
