I no sooner say that thing about the pretty picture out front and the kicks and blows behind the curtain when I read another example via Ed Brayton. The Reconstructionists are saying why the Dominionists are so scary while they (the Recons) are thoroughly reassuring.
There is no doubt, however, that the 7MDs do have a goal of top-down control of society. This is explicit in their literature in many places. The exception to this is when they are in PR mode: then they downplay and even completely deny that they believe in dominion….
Riiiiight – as so many control freaks do when they are in PR mode. The pope do, theocracies that sign up to CEDAW do, Michele Bachmann do. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Reconstructionists do.
Meanwhile, as Ed says, there’s a good deal of hilarity in one bunch of theocrats calling another bunch of theocrats “theocrats.” Back here on planet earth they all look like dangerous lunatics who would make life hell if they could.
Pot. Kettle.
Ever notice how very similar the Domionists’ “Seven Mountains” are to Vladimir Lenin’s “Command Heights”?
So, the Neocons were Trotskyites reborn, and the Domionists are (in spirit, if not goals) of Lenin. And the Teabaggers have mastered Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, but it’s big business who are the power behind the radicals.
How will we get out of this itact?
