Brown-shirted churches
Has everybody seen this?
The post is kind of difficult to get a handle on; it's a re-posted version of a narrative originally posted to fark.com (I think) and then taken down. In order to establish its veracity the person who re-posted it also included screen shots of the original location. Anyway, the original narrator tells the story of his time at a "men's night out" at his father's church, which morphed quickly into a military rally and finally a recruiting session. I wonder if this was always part of the right's strategy? Build up the network of fundamentalist churches, build up their members' blind loyalty, then use them all as cannon fodder.
Wow.
