		<description>If you look at all of the ideas the Texans want to push, you will find parallels in Biblical Reconstructionism theory.

What you label conservative inclination is something different: the wellspring of Biblical Reconstructionism, R. J. Rushdoony who lived and worked in Santa Barbara.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rousas_John_Rushdoony
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcedon_Foundation

Rushdoony is acknowledged as one of the fathers of home schooling of course, but you should also understand that Howard Ahmanson, the funding angel of the Discovery Institute is one of his great admirers. Eliminating evolution is a side issue for them.

The elimination of the Enlightenment is what they want since their aim is the establishment of a biblical legal system. Basically if you think of turning the clock in religious philosophy back to William of Ockham in 1300 when theologians began to consider what would happen when you take biblical literalism to the most ridiculous conclusions. Ockham apparently also examined the idea of separation of Church and state but I&#039;m not familiar with what he said on it.

We sometimes acknowledge Ockham and Duns Scotus as kind of proto-Enlightenment figures but often don&#039;t talk about what prompted them to put a stop to over-elaborate religious thought experiments. They required proof of anything that *could* be proven, and attempted to divide that from faith or Revelation in matters like the existence of God and immortality of the soul. (Collins Sociology of Philosophies)

Rushdoony was a Biblical literalist in the most dangerous way possible in that he believed the framers of the Constitution to be Christian and this to be a Christian nation in a &quot;Manifest Destiny&quot; sort of way. This allows his followers to see bringing Christ back into schools as normal.

How many of us have FaceBook requests to become fans of that ridiculous video?

You have to say at some point that ignorance is NOT a point of view.</description>
