The sad part is that it's pseudo-Christianity too.
Peace loving real Christians wouldn't advocate going to war illegally and having civilians slaughtered in the name of economic growth. But you'll find them backing these very policies.
But then again, that doesn't come as a surprise since Christianity as it's sold in the US is largely a business enterprise itself under the guise of faith.
Saying that God is on your side gives you all the justification you need to do anything you want, whether it's exploitation or worse.
This is the kind of radicalism that you're seeing in the Republican Party. It's part of the reason why the world essentially opposes what we're doing in Iraq but so many of us are unable to see it because the radicalal policies have been given mainstream currency thru yellow media.
