Chris Hedges and his crusade to expose the facism is American evangelicalism

Carl Olsen 


Chris Hedges goes after facist Christians highlighting some of the crazy leaders that can be found mostly through fly over lands in the middle of America. Hedges is a writer who grew up among the backwards rural people as his father was a pastor and he knows firsthand the neurotics of peoples of the book. The Christian rights hatred has multiplied since primarily the sexual revolution and acceptance of many groups that these right-wing Christians will never accept hiding their disgust under guise of religious liberties. This latest wave if Christian fundlementalism is toning new as Chris points out in this book as this country has gone trough many of these transformations. The Christian concept holds little regards for human rights outside what is defined as Christian values and principles they feel it is their duty to force on all. Anyway you look at it this is facism and it is primarily through this social condemnation and damnation to why we still have to deal with these crazed book worship perks of both the Koran and bible. Chris Hesges book called "American Facists" looks at how these people are trying to spend their way to alter this country into a theocratic state and are attempting to hijack the country to fit their ultra-conservative social thoughts. Extreme Christian fascism has existed throughout most of the history of the religion often being used by Kings and nobles to keep the masses toiled and into a feudal system of exploitation that offered little opportunities aside from farming and creating wealth for others. Christianity would not have prospered or had growth without this consideration and justification for a small class to hoard all of the food and coinage.

    Hedges shows how these people in this evil movement are continually  locked into a closed system of indoctrination that fosters to serve and nurture their hatred as they rely mostly of Christian propaganda news broadcasts. They attend and hang around only people of their churches in their remote outlets away from urban society and this movement seeks to expand their world beliefs. The hopeful apocalyptic ending is promised by leaders of this intolerance spreading preaching around this country and Hedges worries the direction the rural poor sections of this country is headed towards as these billionaires use their money to spread doom and despair towards their followers.
