"Through an interview and an incredible documentary we take a comprehensive look at the radical Christian Far Right and its efforts to take over political power at all levels of society. Through information provided by undercover agents and by monitoring of Christian Coalition TV programs, the documentary shows the strategies, the deviousness, and the dangers which these religious fanatics pose to secular society and civil liberties. We also review the book "Holy Terror."

"In this book, Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman provide us with decades of United States government background and integrate that knowledge of the past with current fundamentalist influences that are tearing apart the United States. Powerful. Heart-wrenching. Infuriating to watch the religious right threaten and intimidate our public servants. The authors offer solutions for us to head off this assault, but will anyone listen?"
"Alternative Views was one of the longest running Public-access television cable TV programs in the United States. Produced in Austin, Texas in 1978, it produced 563 hour-long programs featuring news, interviews and opinion pieces from a progressive political perspective. Show founders and on-air hosts, Douglas Kellner and Frank Morrow, produced the show on virtually no budget using facilities at Austin Community Television (ACTV) and the University of Texas at Austin.[1] They also pioneered an innovative syndication system that placed the program in almost 80 television markets around the country."

It's not big government and statism that the Far-Right in America has a problem with. It's democratic socialism or social democracy and communism that they're not fans of.

If you're familiar with the Islamic Republic of Iran or the Islamic Kingdom of Saudi, you have a pretty good idea of what the so-called Christian-Right believes in. Just replace a warped view of Islam, with a warped view of fundamentalist Anglo Protestantism. But the views when it comes to women's place in the world, homosexuality, certain music and entertainment in general, ethnic, racial, and religious minorities, are the same views that Islamists have in the Middle East. Again, just replace a warped view of Islam, with a warped views of fundamentalist Anglo Protestantism.
