From his rural home near Lodi, Calif., Cory Burnell keeps close watch over the news from South Carolina, and he likes what he sees. Turning the state into a promised land for conservative Christians will be easier than he had thought, he says.
The state was a logical choice. It already is conservative, having played a major role in the rise of the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan. And it's home to 750,000 Southern Baptists and Bob Jones University, a fundamentalist Christian institution.
Edwin Gaustad, professor emeritus of history and religious studies at the University of California-Riverside, on the other hand, said, "I would think it would have little chance of going anywhere unless there was a secession of South Carolina from the union."
That's an option Burnell and his followers would consider, although they say it would be a last resort.
I see...They'd consider secession if they don't get their way. Sounds pretty damned un-American to me. Why do these christians hate America so much? Why isn't shill o'lielly calling them on their hatred? Why isn't faux news asking the question, "Does the christian right hate America?" like they did with their "Do liberals hate America?" before the invasion of Iraq.
