Kevin Philips (former Republican strategist) has written a new book that
proves, through surveys and public statements, what has been apparent for 20

"American Theocracy" displays the sad fact that the Republican Party has

fundamentalist Hindu and Islamic parties . That a large segment, if not
majority , believe we are living in the End Times, and that belief drives
things like MidEast policy, fiscal policy, etc....
