NEOCONNED!
(How the plutocrats of big industry - mostly oil/gas, steel,
munitions, chemicals - subverted the reactionary religious and Libertarian
movements of the past century, in a calculated bid for political power)
When you read an editorial explaining why guns are good for society,
or why DDT is the most humanitarian gift that can be given to the tropics,
or how public education is an Abomination Unto the Lord, or that taxes
are against the will of Heaven/the Founding Fathers, or that Womanhood
belongs on the pedestal labeled Family & Faith, or that there is no
proof that smog and dioxin hurt the biosphere, or us, or that we will all
be overwhelmed by the Unassimilated Racial Menace of your choice, or how
War is good for the Manly Virtues of a civilization - check and see
if the author isn't getting a paycheck, indirectly, from someone who makes
bullets, or chemicals, or who got burnt by labour in the '20s or the '60s
and is still sore over having to pay women fair wages/hire blacks/offer
benefits, or who is in trouble for releasing toxins in the local water
supply, or who associated with Charles Lindbergh in the '30s, or stands
to gain significantly in continuing government contracts from A Strong
National Defense! or who is selling automobiles and their fuel.
If someone is preaching this, and turns out to be sponsored by outfits
with historical ties to repression, profit at all human costs, and an elitist
ideology of Exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny - well, if it looks, quacks,
and walks like a duck, perhaps it belongs in the Duck Pit, rather than
in the lecture hall.
This is meant as a starting point, by no means is it comprhensive.
Good hunting! (—Follow the money)

The Straussian Agenda Unveiled
Dame Agatha solves the mystery in 1951, in They
Came To Baghdad (excerpt)
"...the nearer any government approaches to Theocracy, the worse
it will be"
C.S. Lewis explains why "I
am a democrat," in very similar terms, in 1946.
