#1 So one third of the nation are evangelicals???

#2 Sounds like the guy is confusing Evangelicals with general religious conservatism: The 30% sounds high, and probably lumps in Pentacostals and Charismatics. Some church leaders, not all necessarily Evangelical, use regular church attendance figures to arrive at an estimate of 20%.

The core of this movement is tiny, but you only need a tiny, disciplined, well-funded and well-organized group, and then you count on the sympathy of 80 million to 100 million evangelicals.

Ahem, let's swap a few nouns here:

The core of the Islamist terrorists is small, but they only need a tiny, disciplined, well-funded, and well organized group, and then you count on the sympathy of one billion fellow Muslims.

Especially if you have ankle biting liberals like these assholes that make sure you don't hit back.

It takes time to acculturate a society to a radical agenda, but that acculturation has clearly begun here, and I don't see people standing up and trying to stop them.

Ahem, swapping a few adjective some more:

It takes time to acculturate a society to a radical agenda, but that acculturation has clearly been taking place for 1400 years, and I don't see people standing up and trying to stop them.

Instead, we see THESE idiots standing up and trying to stop all efforts to stop the Islamists.

Doesn't it make sense for the Democrats to reach out to the huge number of evangelicals who aren't necessarily part of the religious right, but who may be sympathetic to some of its rhetoric? Couldn't those people be up for grabs?

A bit more noun swapping here:

Doesn't it make sense for the West to reach out to the huge number of Muslims who aren't necessarily part of the Islamist movement, but who may be sympathetic to some of its rhetoric? Couldn't those people be up for grabs?

I don't think they are up for grabs because they have been ushered into a non-reality-based belief system. . . .

Don't need to change a thing...

#3 One last note I forgot to mention. All the Libs are aware that they did not as much win the last election as much as that the Republicans lost: I saw a lot of books and articles attempting to suppress the voter turnout from the religous right. If the dems pull off a big boner between now and the next election, the religious right will be back, and they'll lose the house and senate given the razor-thin majority they won.

They're probably reacting to a recent novel in which a small group of government leaders below the presidency leads some sort of revolution that ideologically cleanses a significant number of states in the union. Remember, the more realistic a nightmare appears, the scarier it is as a dream. Of course its still just a dream, but the body reacts all the same.

#5 "Non-reality-based belief" > whom decides what is reality - the Failed-Angry Left who want America to adopt the Socialism that can't care or feed itself, andor OWG without having to explain why, etc. to the Amer people/voter??? REALITY WITHOUT TRUTH-HONOR IS JUST A LIE, AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SO. In any case, CLINTONISM > FASCISM IS THE "NEW COMMUNISM", at least until the day something(s) weirdly and mysteriously but only PC/Deniably Co-incidentally occurs in Socialist Amerika to change Fascist Authoritarianism to Commie Totalitarianism, from Western DemoSocie to Eastern/Asian Communism. "REALITY" = NATIONAL-GLOBAL ANARCHY/MAFIA/NEPOTIST STATE??? Unless Hollyweird + University Liberalists have lied to America, MAFIOSI [or BULK OF THEM] DOESN'T MAKE $$$ UNDER TOTALITARIANISM.
