From Jeff Sharlet on "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power"
All the following folks are part of this fundamentalist Christian organization. It's noteworthy that the stated goal of the organization is to accumulate as much power as possible in the name of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, from their actions it's clear that Christian morality has little to do with their methods. The Machiavellian ends-justify-the-means method tends to dominate their practices.
