Conservatism is dead. The GOP have been conquered. Their party has been taken over by the corporatist, in a pact with the theocrats, and the objectivists. 

The theocratic wing of the Republican Party, "The Anti-Christians", or "The American Taliban", seek to force the American People, with the legislative and judicial process, to live within the confines of their twisted sense of morality. They do not believe in compromise, and nothing short of total control can satisfy their insatiable desire to see the world forced into their narrow and limited world view.

They have fought, and will continue to fight, to turn back the clock on women's rights. They seek to; make abortion a felony, to outlaw contraception, to strike down equal pay for women, to strike down the domestic violence laws, and even to revoke the right of women to vote.

What is so prepostero­us about what we mistakenly refer to as the christian right, is it's alleged foundation in Christiani­ty. This is actually an anti-christ­ian ideology, that should in no way be confused with Christiani­ty. Their policies are clearly un-Christ like in letter, and in effect. It is quite simply, the control of a portion of the population by a Machiavelli­an, anti-chris­tian, political and business machine. That is what the antichrist is - antichrist in the name of Christ. If Christiani­ty still carried the death sentence, as it did pre-Edict of Milan, the pious politician­s and '' religiou­s leaders'' of today would be throwing Christians to the lions. Their overt piety is the practice of a christiani­ty of political expedience­, and business convenience. Their anti-chris­tic behavior is glaringly exemplifie­d by their disseminat­ion of fear and lies for manipulati­on, and their devious quest for material wealth and the earthly powers they buy with it. If Jesus came back today they would seek to kill him again. The anti-chris­tian right are the money changers in the Temple. We must stop referring to them as Christians and call them what they are, ''anti-chri­stians'', or "The American Taliban".

Ironically, arch conservative Senator Barry Goldwater (R) warned us about these theocrats, and the divisive and destructive force the represent within our government.

"Well, I've spent quite a number of years carrying the flag of the 'Old Conservatism.' And I can say with conviction that the religious issues of these groups have little or nothing to do with conservative or liberal politics. The uncompromising position of these groups is a divisive element that could tear apart the very spirit of our representative system, if they gain sufficient strength. By maintaining the separation of church and state, the United States has avoided the intolerance which has so divided the rest of the world with religious wars . . . Can any of us refute the wisdom of Madison and the other framers? Can anyone look at the carnage in Iran, the bloodshed in Northern Ireland, or the bombs bursting in Lebanon and yet question the dangers of injecting religious issues into the affairs of state?"  Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona), Sept. 15, 1981

"The religious factions will go on imposing their will on others, unless the decent people connected to them recognize that religion has no place in public policy. They must learn to make their views known without trying to make their views the only alternatives. . . We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn't stop now. To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic. I don't have any respect for the Religious Right. There is no place in this country for practicing religion in politics. That goes for Falwell, Robertson and all the rest of these political preachers. They are a detriment to the country."
Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona) August 1998
