While what Lee wrote was not initially intended for publication here, he graciously agreed to allow me to publish it. Lee wrote this in response to an article in the New York Times, linked below, and there is also a link to a writing on political ideology (not written by Lee). Hopefully there will be more from Lee in the future.
Have these folks ever read the Constitution or the Federalist Papers, the foundation which our Founding Fathers worked so hard to embed in our democracy? These anachronistic folks are simply such that they want to go back to the days of the crusades.

Hell, even the Catholic Hierarchy doesn't agree with this one.
What in the world is wrong with these people? I think they're an offshoot of the Taliban Republican Tea Party. If they want religion in politics they should move to Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Saudi Arabia. We sure as hell don't need these kind of idiots in the USA.
These folks have a severe mental handicap.

Those of you who legitimately know just a little bit about political ideology, look at the chart, check it out on the net [Political Ideology "spectrum" Chart] and see how far right the Republican Party has moved; one more step and they're in Nazi Land. Some of them are already there.
What used to be Right Wing politics is now mainstream Republicanism.
I've attached a writing on political ideology, somewhat lengthy but extremely informative. A lot of folks say they're liberal or they're conservative and, most of the time, they don't know what they're defining. The definitions used today are mostly false and taken out of the 1950s McCarthy era. Enjoy the read. It may drive you crazy but that's as close as I can get you to a legitimate poli-sci classroom.
Please take special note as to how much religion has played a force in political ideology, the very factor which our Founding Fathers tried to eliminate, but there are some very strong forces which today still try to inject into our every day political system. They prefer to have a theocracy rather than a democracy. Theocracy belongs in church, democracy belongs in the Halls of Congress.
