I'm sure everyone here can agree that there's a culture war going on between hardcore Christians and... well, people who aren't. We talk about it here all the time. We fight over public education, especially science education. We fight over gay marriage. We fight over religious rights and privilege, etc... Well here's a lecture by a speaker who thinks he knows how to win the culture war for Christianity, entitled Rescuing America: Restore Normalcy & Win Culture War [sic]. His strategy is summarized in his video descriptions as the following steps:
The third and last point gives me pause. He wants to end judicial review?! I know the courts haven't always been "on their side" but that's going pretty damn far. Never mind that he has the audacity to claim that judicial review itself is "unconstitutional," but aren't they afraid of the day when they might want to challenge an act of government? Do they honestly believe that the government will never do anything against the interests of Christianity? Isn't the judiciary a part of their government?
How desperate do you have to be to "win the culture war" that you're willing to give up judicial review? Are they really losing this war? According to PZ Myers, we're the ones who are losing...
Who's winning this war? Is judicial review worth sacrificing? What else is?
Thank you...
- Get real news
- Privatize the public schools
