Ooooh Is that where that quote actually originates from? I do have to say it's even better with the rest of the quote there that has been left out when I've seen this quoted. It's such a perfect description of what we're dealing with that I'm dumbfounded.
"a plea for liberty and preservation of the US constitution". The religious right is an enemy of freedom and ignores parts of the constitution (and blatantly lies about the founding of the US), and yet falsely controls the narrative that they are for both. It's frustrating beyond words.
Interesting that this man got all of that from his time. I should really read the book to better understand the context, though. But nevertheless, he seems to have predicted that before many of the events I think brought us to where we are with the religious right today like the Cold War/Red Scare. Incredible.
