But it’s a valid comparison. The difference is that what the Taliban do with violence, the evangelicals do with lobbying power, intimidation, and money that buys them tremendous influence in areas they should never have been able to infiltrate, and infiltrate is the word best used to describe what they’ve been doing to the military. Remember what the article said about how the band wanted to bring the “armor of God” to the soldiers? They believe that. They believe that the soldiers are over there on a divine mission, as did Bush.

You’ve probably read a lot of the stuff here on LGF about the “Christian nation” meme that’s spread around in the US — That’s what the evangelicals are pushing for, and that’s not an exaggeration. In closing, the Taliban want the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and the American Taliban wants One Nation under God. By the way, it’s not just the evangelicals that are pushing this stuff, hence why I used the “One Nation under God” thing — The Catholics managed to crowbar that one right past the whole secularism thing that America had going on.
