Rebirth of our nation...

Thanks to Dad for sending an excellent article today. Tom Engelhardt interviewed James Carroll about what happens when "American Exceptionalism meets Team Jesus". It is a lucid description of what's gone wrong in the last few years, but not without a few hopeful thoughts for the years to come.

The bit in the article about the forced proselytizing in the military is frightening. The Corps at A&M were very big into making sure everyone (whether officially or not, I don't know -- I just know the students in uniform were hell-bent, no pun intended, on getting as many people as possible) went to see "The Passion of the Christ."

This article from a few days ago talks about the whole Christianization of the military, too: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20922106/
