O Lord

Jon Rowe dredges up an old post on Gary North, Christian Reconstructionist par... par... I want to say "par excellence," but can't muster up the weakness to do it.

North is a scary guy, but only if you take him seriously--which is no easy feat. I first became acquainted with North's paranoia when I discovered Fighting Chance: Ten Feet to Survival on the bookshelves of my college library. The book, now on DVD, is a guide to surviving and winning nuclear war. It includes all sorts of tips and tricks, a home curriculum to implement when the local school turns into so much rubble, prayers to utter while the bombs are dropping.

Gary North is the guy who watches Dr. Strangelove and thinks, yeah, that might work.
