POE's writeup wrote:"If we want to build a society without abortion, without homosexuality, with family values, and with godly schools, then we are wasting our time if we adopt any other strategy besides the standard of God's holy Word." Super-fundamentalists explain how Islam is a brainwashing cult, stoning rebellious children is good, and how everybody must adopt their strange Levitical moral code. NOW.
Fucking Christian-Taliban heretics...

And Yea, The Lord did speak thus...

"You're all fucked up in the head. Stop talking to people like we're together. I want a restraining order."

All hallowed be the Word...

Amen.

Unsurprisingly, this website criticizes neoconservatives for being liberals in disguise, and links to lewrockwell.com

And my respect for Rockwell plunges from zero to well into the negatives...

Heh it's very hard to have an numeric opinion of Rockwell without having to give up and use the letter "i" to express it.

*cough*
There is, however, an even scarier prospect. In the 1970s, a group known as Christian Reconstructionists emerged. Their basic premise was that belief that the moral laws of the Old Testament are still binding today. This idea states that only Old Testament laws specifically fulfilled in the New Testament are non-binding (such as sacrificial laws, ceremonial laws and dietary laws). The moral Law of God is still the ethical standard for governing individuals and society (Rogers, "What is Theonomy?"). The Reconstructionists are seeking to establish a form of government called a "theonomy," that is that society should be governed by Biblical law. William Martin describes how a reconstructed America might look:

The federal government would play no role in regulating business, public education, or welfare. Indeed, if it survived at all, its functions would likely be limited to delivering the mail and providing some measure of national defense. Some government would be visible at the level of counties, each of which would be protected by a fully armed militia, but citizens would be answerable to church authorities on most matters subject to regulation. Inheritance and gift taxes would be eliminated, income taxes would not exceed ten percent—the biblical tithe—and social security would disappear. Public schools would be abolished in favor of home-schooling arrangements, and families would operate on a strict patriarchal pattern. The only people permitted to vote would be members of "biblically correct" churches. Most notably, a theonomic order would make homosexuality, adultery, blasphemy, propagation of false doctrine, and incorrigible behavior by disobedient children subject to the death penalty, preferably administered by stoning (p. 353)

Have a very nice day.

I remember that, Yefim. In fact I read your essay to pass the time before my internet got hooked up again.

And yes, it appears our friends POE discovered and these Reconstructionists you've written of are indeed one and the same.
