So finishing up with Kingdom Coming, The Rise of Christian
Nationalism, by Michelle Goldberg 2006
HTML https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F9QD7JK/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4
She gets into some of the things which really infuriated me
about these abstinence advocates.
First, around 1990 there was this contraceptive sponge which was
going through public testing. Billed as being the most ideal of
contraceptives ever invented.
And then more recently, a vaccine for the HPV viruses.
Well the Christian Right and the Abstinence Advocates fought
hard against these, and not because they might be ineffective or
have side effects, they fight against them precisely because
they might work exactly as intended.
So here I want to record some of Goldberg's more interesting
looking references:

so finishing up with Michelle Goldberg's Kingdom Coming.
She is saying what I have been trying to say about the Christian
Right for decades, only she has done the hard research to back
it up.
So let me try and record her a few of her remaining references:
Francis Schaeffer, "A Christian Manifesto" 1981
Roger Griffin, "The Nature of Fascism" 2003
Fritz Stern, The Politics of Cultural Despair: A Study In The
Rise Of The Germanic Ideology" 1989
David Frum, "The Right Man" 2003
Gary Wills, "Under God: Religion and American Politics" 1990
Marvin Olasky, crazy nut case.
Rick Santorum, nut case, Catholic, US Senator from PA
Karen Armstrong, "The Battle for God: A History of
Fundamentalism" 2001
Robert O. Paxton, "Anatomy of Fascism" 2005
page 210 "It makes no sense to fight religious authoritarianims
abroad wile letting it take over at home?"
page 209, Muslim Fundamentalist woman says at conference, "...
American culture and communism are *the same*, because both are
colonialist forces that assult traditional norms."
page 204, Fenton Communications, handles public relations for
MoveOn, put together Campaign to Defend the Constitution,
grassroots group devoted to raising awareness about the
Religious Right.
MoveOn is the closest thing liberals have to the Christian
Coalition.
page 201 "It's unfair to condemn anyone for seeking redress from
the Supreme Court -- African-Americans, gay people, and others
are entirely justified in not wanting to put their civil rights
up for popular vote."
"Ever since Brown v. Board, the left has turned to the Supreme
Court to defend civil liberties in the face of hostile
majorities."
page 199, she counts the most effective groups, ACLU, People for
the American Way, Americans United for Separation of Church and
State, and Southern Poverty Law Center. ( all have at times
received money from me. )
Redeemer Presbyterian Church, breakaway denomination, having Dr.
James Kennedy's Coral Ridge Ministries, part of the far right.
Presbyterian Church of America, another far right breakaway.
Another is Evangelical Preybeterian Church.
And then in recent years, Evangelical Covenant Order of
Presbyterians.
All breaking away from the sensible Presbyterian Church U.S.A.
Christian Reconstructionism, a crazy and frightening doctrine.
Lenin's famous essay, "Socialism and Religion"
World Harvest Church, far right mega church, Columbus Ohio, Rod
Parsley Pastor.
