 Rating:  - American FascistsThis book by Chris Hedges is an excellent explanation of the present United States internal and external agenda. It should be required reading for all educated people. Rating:  - Strong language, valid points, ironic evangelical approachChris Hedges, a former foreign correspondent for the New York Times and a graduate of the Harvard School of Divinity, takes his readers on an intelligent, well-cited, and frightening tour through the undeniable reasons every American should be wary of the Christian Right and its agenda to create and dominate a fascist regime.

This book is an expose on how good, conservative people have been hood-winked into supporting political positions that promote war, the very antithesis of Christ's "love thy enemy" message. It contains direct quotes and notes from fundamentalist's seminars that will shock most. Definitely worth the read.
