Christian extremism is a poorly understood and often neglected phenomenon. Although we are constantly hearing about Muslim extremists, America is plagued with a Christian extremist movement which we ignore at our peril. Christian extremism includes the components of Christian fundamentalism (i.e., biblical inerrancy, evangelism, premillenialism, separatism/sense of persecution, and biblical literalism with regard to creation) and adds some additional components (e.g., exclusivity, anti-intellectualism, social conservatism/anti-liberalism, intolerance, theocratic strivings, and militant opposition to modernism).

I have not written an Idiot of the Week post in awhile, but that doesn't mean that there has not been plenty of idiocy. I'm back this week with another "winner" from a crowded field. Props to Obama's inauguration speaker, Christian extremist Pastor Rick Warren, for picking up this week's honor.

Mike Huckabee is quickly becoming one of my least favorite public figures. I personally think that a Huckabee presidency would be worse for the U.S. than just about anyone else, including Palin. The man is an unapologetic Christian extremist and yet countless people are willing to look the other way simple because he has a certain gentle charm. This makes him plenty dangerous.It is widely known that Huckabee detests the fact that the U.S. was...
