A good resource on the Christian Right

Radical cleric John Hagee, marching with the Maverick to the 100 Years War

Since that bold Maverick McCain is seeking and embracing the support of radical clerics like John Hagee in his campaign to become President and make the Iraq War a 100-year event, I thought I would mention one of the best blogs I've come across dealing with religion and politics in the US, Talk to Action. Some of their recent offerings:

Chris Rodda catches Ron Paul, darling of the white supremacist set, embracing theocratic pseudohistory in saying that the Constitution is "replete with references to God". Rodda points out that there is, count them - or, rather count it - one reference to the Almighty in the Constitution, contained in the phrase "in the Year of our Lord". (It's in Article VII.)

Bruce Wilson looks into the wild and whacky world of the End Times theology of the Maverick's buddy John Hagee. Hagee's views, he tells us, "veer far to the right, lie along the extreme end of the theocratic spectrum and espouse an intransigent and radically bellicose approach to Mideast politics." Just what we need. No wonder Mr. 100 Years War sought out his support.

Frederick Clarkson reports that Maverick McCain Courted Hagee for at Least a Year.

Frank Cocozzelli reports on how the obnoxious rightwinger Bill Donahue of the Catholic League managed to at least get something "half right" in his criticism of Hagee and his pal the Maverick. Cocozzelli also tacks on about a bizillion links to his posts on the Catholic Right.
