Christian dominionism, American fascism

chris hedges, in this video from canadian broadcasting, talks about the u.s. christian right, their fascist tendencies, his book, American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America, and the recent article in the toronto star...

Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer prize winning writer and author of "American Fascists." In his latest release, the former New York Times correspondent compares the U.S. Christian right to 20th Century fascism.

As a son of a preacher, Hedges has a deep knowledge of the Bible which he uses to openly blast the role of Christianity in politics.

Hedges believes the far right Christian believers have been manipulated by the high power, allowing for bigotry and intolerance.

again, nothing we don't already know...
