Commentary Tidbits

Wow! Today's commentary post is overflowing with essays on Christian dominionism, especially as it relates to some of the current GOP presidential contenders. I'm relieved that this alarming form of fundamentalism is making its way into the public consciousness, since people can't organize against something unless they know it exists.
