Back to Work

It's been eight months since I posted an entry on Fundagelical Watch. First, I was consumed with working on my book on Gerald B. Winrod (1900-1957), who founded the Chrstian Right in this country. It's a myth that fundagelicals withdrew from politics after the 1925 Scopes Trial, a myth perpetrated by a lazy media and an indifferent academia. Second, since July I have been struggling with the return of prostate cancer and then a heart attack seven weeks ago.

I'm still recovering, so I don't promise a new post every day, but I will be making frequent comments about the Christian Right, who continue to be a great source of humor as well as a serious threat to American democracy.
