It's more subtle but quite present here, the Jesus weasel stations at the bottom of the FM dial are part of this steady drumbeat.
Dunno if you caught the article link on our dominionists in another thread.

"Being criticized for my views comes with the territory (and to be honest, I like attention so I enjoy this.) Although this was the first time a so-called progressive came after me. Typically, it’s people on the right like Pamela Geller, the people at Breitbart.com, or the Fox News types."

Steve, according to Mikey Weinstein, the Dominionist takeover of the military was already well under way when he was at the USAFA in the '70s. This would have been considerably before you enlisted. Did you personally see any evidence of this and, if so, did you also see an increase in the influence of these radicals during your career?
