Really? Cause I'm not seeing it.

In my experience through people I've talked with and things I've read, the evangelical far-right types basically want to take us back to the 1950's (you know, your hey day ), minus the oppression of black folk. They want abortion outlawed, prayer and the Bible in schools, and less porn. Maybe not what we want for this country, but it's certainly not Iranian style mullahcracy.

Maybe there are some on the far-far-far right who would want some sort of theocracy for the U.S., but their numbers are so miniscule that there's no chance of them "taking over".
