Christian radicals seem incapable of reading the Sermon on the Mount with anything that passes for understanding. Where Jesus bade his followers to forgive, they preach holy war. Where Jesus bade his followers not to judge others, they run morality crusades. Where Jesus bade his followers to feed their enemies, their policy is to bomb the bejezus out of theirs. And, where Jesus asked his flock to feed and clothes the poor, their agenda is to oppress the needy for self-gain.
In other words, I think they are a bunch of hypocrites distorting the teachings of their "personal savior" to suit their personal ambitions. In other words, I think they wear the black hats in a Western and play the role of butler in a who-done-it.
PBS has analyzed the connection between Bush and Christian radicals (also called fundaMENTALists). You can watch the program here:
