General Discussion

Does it pertain to fundamentalist evangelical Protestants or radicalized (capital C) Catholics denominations or sects infiltrations to cause chaos politically and funnel dollars religiously?

Recently there were 8,000 immigrants from Nicaragua seeking entry at our borders for one reason or another. That is basically and culturally a Roman Catholic nation. Their constitution contains "freedom of religion." Politically, they've created many active political parties under a "democratic" government, yet their current leader acts more and more like a dictator making at the very least economic friends with Putin and his oligarchs. The nation's population is generally poor, wealth stratified, and expressive of their politics, all trying to keep what they had yesterday...and losing.

In trying to understand your question, I understand Wiki may not be the best place for other than general info; how does DU now view Al-Jezeera articles about Daniel Ortega's and his VP wife who seem to be playing both sides against the middle in their efforts to maintain political power and control?

Does the "fair trade" movement also have anything to do with the economic spinning/self-determinism, surrounding RW religious evangelical fundamentalism and the GQP?

Are there any signs that this administration's State Department can adequately vet or process immigrant access...while "red states" continue to worship TFG while we cross T's and dot I's. How can we continue to say that with our streets full of guns, our economy full of the celebration of debt and celebrity, our politics leaning on corrupt "corporate personhood", constitutional freedom dependent only on "gentleperson" civility of our Congressmembers, high Courts, and Executive agencies' oversight/protections are any better than that from whence they came, if we can't quell our very own domestic coup and conspirators who continue to incite the crazies in our local, national, global world without consequence?
