Dominionism Seeks To Undermine America's Freedoms in the Name of Religion

Christian Right Dominionist Movement Trying To Undermine America's Free, Representative System
(link to article, below)

Excerpt:
"Dominionists want to impose a form of Christian nationalism on the United States, a concept that was dismissed as eroding freedom and democracy by the founders of our country. Dominionism has become a major influence on the right-wing populist Tea Parties as Christian Right activists have flooded into the movement at the grassroots." 

Excerpt:
  • "Dominionists celebrate Christian nationalism, in that they believe the United States once was, and should again be, a Christian nation. In this way, they deny the Enlightenment roots of American democracy.
  • Dominionists promote religious supremacy, insofar as they generally do not respect the equality of other religions, or even other versions of Christianity.
  • Dominionists endorse theocratic visions, believing that the Ten Commandments, or "biblical law," should be the foundation of American law, and that the U.S. Constitution should be seen as a vehicle for implementing Biblical principle."

The Christian Right and Theocracy 

Ironically,  It is one of the supposed Icons of the American Right who unequivocally assures us Theocracy is not The American Way...

         Ironic food for thought, eh?
