What's interesting is the populace movement of fundamentalism is starting to mirror that approach that elite fundamentalism has long had of trying to have influence across the political spectrum.

Fundamentalism is a 20th-century phenomenon, but that kind of religious fervor actually has not always been associated with conservative goals.

The Family in particular, but also other really **** conservatives come to call what is Biblical Capitalism. The idea that capitalism is ordained in the Bible and that inasmuch as we interfere with the market, we're interfering with God's literal and visible hand.

Whoever is holding the power says, Yeah, let's keep things civil and quiet. Whoever's outside say's, No, I'm not going to keep things civil and quiet, I'm going to bang on the door.

America is going to start happening outside of the parties.

The Family is the oldest and arguably most influential religious political organization in Washington.

The Cold War was really the great struggle of the 20th Century and it shaped American political life from top to bottom.
