Well, folks, I've finally managed to finish the third installment in the Attack of the Fundamentalists series, and I do apologize for the delay. This one roughly spans the time period of the Cold War and touches, in a helter skelter fashion, upon a handful of road markers along Evangelical Christianity's rise to power: McCarthyism, rock and roll, the sexual revolution, feminism, Roe v. Wade, and the merger of the Christian Right with the Republican Party. The narrative here is a little looser than in the last couple of episodes, but several strands will be picked up again and hopefully tied together when I conclude this sequence next episode with a discussion of Christian Dominionism along with its objectives, strategies, and effects. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this latest installment. Look for the next one in about two weeks, after which I hope to be back on my originally intended weekly schedule.
