As I mentioned elsewhere, the May23rd edition of Business Week had a very interesting article regarding the evangelistic christians in the south, how they have propped up Bush in the last election, and how they now want to get paid back bigtime. Most of these groups (names like Orsteen, cerflo dollar and others) run mega churches, often preaching to tens of thousands of people each week. They have wide reaching television programs (Orsteen claims 7 million viewers a week) and the have best selling books. Their goal is a literal interpretation of the bible as directly what god said, and that makes porn a big no-no.
Their stated goal is to get enough seats in the senate to be able to get past the fillibuster, so they can install as many hyper conservative judges as possible into the federal courts - including 2 or even 3 potential supreme court seats in the next few years.
It would take probably 20 - 30 years to undo the damage this would cause.
The crusade isn't against us directly. It's against all things "non christian" in america, all the things they see as bad. We are but one of those things.
