This is more than a little scary

It's one thing to believe that business should win over the environment or that the war in Iraq was necessary to stop some then-believed weapons program.

I only read the first article you posted because everything Bill Moyers says is so jaded and leftist that it is not even possible to try and see his point of view.
Everything he says about the "Left Behind" series and the Bible is simply not true.

rerstad,
I read the articles. It's nothing new, and these are pre-election rethoric articles written by people with an agenda.
Sure there are ultra religious people. (I'm not) and sure, they believe that with all their heart. But that doesn't mean it drives the policy of the US to war. There were lots of reasons for the war, and if I remember correctly, they were all sounded out by about every politician that holds office on the news during the time, every night on every channel and in every newspaper.
These 2 articles are just some way to diminish and minimize the policymakers and a government they don't agree with. It makes them feel better to catagorize the other side as zealots and crackpots.
Bill Moyers and the publication the second article come from, salon.com and tompayne are all from the same perspective. These sob's must be crazy and here's why.
Bill is retired now. Salon and tompayne are out for the fringe to read. Bush won. We have work to do. We have to come together and finish the job at hand.

Bush thinks God chose him to be president. That doesn't prove it drives his policy on iraq, but it sure doesn't help when it proves he's a nutjob.
To me, it also tells me exactly what he thinks of Democracy.
