Christian Right. It touches every aspect of life and culture in this, one of the most 
successful and powerful political movements in American history. The idea that America's supposed Christian 
identity has somehow been wrongly taken, and must somehow be restored, permeates the psychology and vision of 
the entire movement. No understanding of the Christian Right is remotely adequate without this foundational concept.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.publiceye.org/magazine/v21n2/history.html">But the Christian nationalist narrative has a fatal flaw: it is based on revisionist history that does not stand 
up under scrutiny. The bad news is that to true believers, it does not have to stand up to the facts of history 
to be a powerful and animating part of the once and future Christian nation. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.publiceye.org/magazine/v21n2/history.html">The contest for control of the narrative of American history is 
well underway.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BA4E9A05-01CF-4B18-8171-658623DF335C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
