Here we have irrefutable evidence of the Conservative Right/Evangelical Christians drive to takeover the government and thus the country!! Maybe I should have titled this post Tin Foil Hat Alert. The article starts out with this fairly innocuous story about Patrick Henry College and since this is of course the BBC, they have to EXPOSE the true purpose of this college. Found this via Lucianne. BTW - Lucianne is having her fund drive so if you want her to stay in business better push the button!

Excerpt:

With President George W Bush in the White House and a Republican dominated
Congress, the time seems right for Mr Farris and Patrick Henry College. Patrick
Henry students can look forward to a career in politics. His students already have a level of access to Washington politics that few universities in the US can match. Also, some 22 conservative members of Congress have employed interns from Patrick Henry over the past few years.

Critics see the college's very close connections to Mr Bush's White House as evidence of a conservative conspiracy to take over the institutions of power. [my bolding]

Then there's this:
Jim Wallis, one of America's leading evangelical preachers, says it's time to end the Republican's stranglehold on faith-based politics: "Somehow Jesus has become pro-rich, pro-war and only pro-America," he says. "How did this ever happen? Our faith has been stolen and it's time to take it back.

There they go again. Get it? Conservatives don't care about anyone but the rich, war-mongering and America. Guess liberating 50 million people doesn't count!!|||110978671696132994|||Patrick Henry College - The Right's Conspiracy to takeover Institutions of Power
