Evangelicals vs. Neocons

Bush has split his base by following his Jesus-filled heart and nominating evangelical Miers. Following Chief Justice Roberts could be a one-two punch against Roe v. Wade. One of the duties of the Chief Justice is to guide the selection process of which cases will be considered ( last year 80 of 7600 were heard) . So with a Roe v. Wade-type case selected, it could be overturned.But these Neocons are largely pro-choice and also favor a fascistic-type legal system which the evangelicals at their core oppose.

The Project for the New American Century is funded by the New Citizen Project, a non-profit 501c3 org. that in turn is funded by the Bradly Foundation of Milwaukee, Wis. These Bradly people are the ones that funded the controversial book " The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life". It was coauthored by Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein. The book claims to have scientific evidence to support racism. Reportedly much of the data collected was provided by the Pioneer Fund which is characterized by some as a neo-Nazi orginzation associated with eugenicist research.

The lessons for America from the Bush presidency is that the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government should not be composed of caricatures of divisive policies. Send them all packing.
