1. AU.org (Americans United for Separation of Church and State)...
and PFAW.org (People for the American Way) have more stuff if you're interested. I enjoy learning about the RR (Religious right) orgs. Also, any of David Brock's books really go into the funding, origin, etc. Rob Boston's books go into the various shennanigans of the RR orgs.

3. Fascism dons a clerical collar.
Compare the points made at theocracywatch.org with "The 14 Defining Characteristics Of Fascism" at < http://dontflameme.com/freedom/The_14_characteristics_of_fascism.htm >. The Theocracy Watch article notes that "the dominionist movement ... believes there is only one truth, and they want to impose that truth on the rest of the country." While this is true, it doesn't go quite as far as dominionists themselves in stating their goals. In the same article, dominionist author George Grant is quoted thusly:
"World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less...".
The dominionists are not only wreaking havoc in the United States. If they are not stopped, their excesses will lead to further attacks on the U.S. by people throughout the world who believe what we used to - namely that they have the right to worship in the manner of their own choosing; or for that matter, not to worship at all. Additionally, if America continues on this course it will alienate itself even more than it already has from its western European democratic allies who still believe in separation of church and state.

See also Chris Floyd's March 2004 article "Dominionists & the Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" at < http://www.thementalmilitia.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=251&mode=thread >. The Constitution Restoration Act is real. You can find it at the Thomas Legislative Information site at < http://thomas.loc.gov/ >. Search for H.R. 3799. This law 'would "acknowledge God as the sovereign source of law, liberty and government" in the United States. What's more, it would forbid all legal challenges to government officials who use the power of the state to enforce their own view of "God's sovereign authority." Any judge who dared even hear such a challenge could be removed from office.'
