One of my favorite shows on cable is Bill Mahr's Real Time on HBO. Friday night he had a guest on his show I thought was very interesting. Author Kevin Phillips was on and is the author of American Theocracy. This man pulled no punches and had very straight forward comments about GW. This is a book I wil go buy. From his appearance on Mahr's show, I'm quite interested in this book. Below gives an insight on what's in the book.

We have had theocracies in North America before—in Puritan New England and later in Mormon Utah—but except in their earliest beginnings, they lacked the intensity of those in Europe, such as John Calvin’s Geneva or the Catholic Spain of the Inquisition. The United States is too big and too diverse to resemble the Massachusetts Bay Colony of John Winthrop or sixteenth-century Geneva or even nineteenth-century Utah. A leading world power such as the United States, with almost three hundred million people and huge international responsibilities, goes about as far in a theocratic direction as it can when it satisfies the unfortunate criteria on display in Washington circa 2005: an elected leader who believes himself in some way to speak for God, a ruling political party that represents religious true believers and seeks to mobilize the churches, the conviction of many voters in that Republican party that government should be guided by religion, and on top of it all, White House implementation of domestic and international political agendas that seem to be driven by religious motivations and biblical worldviews. -Kevin Phillips
