Here is a deeply disturbing truth of our age—one American group, our most aggressive political ideology, is dangerously reactionary, exhibiting all the hallmarks of a fundamentalist movement. Is this the Conservatives? No. This group is, of course—modern liberalism. In fact, during a recent debate witnessed by this author, one party claimed that any person holding a literal belief in the Bible should be kept from public office by law. Why? Because such persons are generally assumed unfit as they are incapable of rational thought. Specifically, the left must keep a perennial eye peeled for the advent of a theocracy.

Sadly, this dismissive instinct towards forging a Conservative ghetto to “protect the countryâ€

Modern Liberals have so aligned themselves with radicals,socialist,communist they no longer know who they are, one thing in my mind is certain if they dominate the government little freedom will remain and America is in for a struggle similar to the civil war.

The Church of England's 18th Century Methodist movement advocated reforms that would now be considered in the progressive tradition. The union movement---and even its modern entities like SEIU----is one legacy of the Methodists. By the 20th Century the fundamentalists didn't think the progressives were doing enough for personal morality---conversely, the liberal branch of Christianity thought the fundamentalists were backwards in moving ahead with the general reform of society's institutions.

So we have inherited a major rift in defining what Christianity is and most "progressives" are simply following full speed ahead with the reforms of the Methodists and those whom they influenced. However, they do seem to be blind to innovations---like volunteer missions---that fundamentalists have inaugurated recently.
