As I have said here before, I have begun fairly serious research into the subject of fascism. I am currently reading two books from my public library and have already completed one. I have one more to go. One of the books I am now reading is American Fascists by Chris Hedges, formerly of The New York Times and a seminary graduate.
My study is proving to be quite fascinating. It is also, I believe, an important one for these times. Although the far right has suffered some electoral defeats recently, there are movements in operation which are quite frightening and must be watched. One such movement I have only just become aware of is called BattleCry. You can read about this youth movement at the URL below. The article begins this way: If you’ve been waiting to get alarmed until the Christian fascist movement started filling stadiums with young people and hyping them up to do battle in “God’s army,” wait no longer. In reading about these events and the heavily militaristic content of the songs performed, everyone of sane mind should be alarmed. And the various attorneys general of these states should, likewise, be watchful.
