Synopsis
'Something big, something really big is coming', the leader of extremist group Rescue America warns reporter Jerry Reiter. It is the first hint of new terror to come in Pensacola, Florida-already 'ground zero' for the nation's Culture War. As Reiter goes there to cover the murder trial of the first doctor slain in the holy war over abortion, he meets radicals from the Ku Klux Klan, Operation Rescue, and a militia man with duffel bags filled with semiautomatic weapons. Each person Reiter interviews offers up a different part of a frightening puzzle pointing to a plot with the potential to be the nation's worst act of domestic terrorism. The trail of blood that Reiter uncovers both takes him back to the mysterious circumstances of the first slaying, and down a road that will eventually lead him to become a reluctant informant for the FBI. With help from the FBI he will later witness a merger between militias and militant anti-abortionists that will send chills down your spine. Reiter's own life is changed forever by his experiences in the nation's culture war and his subsequent role as a leader in a movement called 'The Common Ground Network for Life and Choice'. Where he comes out at the end of the journey will surprise both pro-life and pro-choice people. Reiter, a founding member and activist in the Christian Coalition, shows that there are shockingly close (albeit indirect) ties between radicals and respectable conservatives, including such national figures as Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan and the 'compassionate conservative' philosophy of George W. Bush. For instance, the legal defence for anti-abortion assassin Paul Hill is provided by an attorney working full-time in Robertson's legal machine, the ACLJ, the religious right's version of the ACLU. And by the end of the book, the reader will know where the religious right went wrong., Shows that there are close ties between radicals and respectable conservatives, including such figures as Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan and the 'compassionate conservative' philosophy of George W Bush. This book attempts to show readers where the religious right went wrong., On the eve of the nation's first abortion-related murder trial, a journalist receives an ominous and frightening tip from an antiabortion leader: "Something big, something REALLY big, is coming."LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL is a bone-chilling first-person account that reads like a gripping murder mystery. Author Jerry Reiter's eye-opening journey takes you into the antiabortion underground--a journey set off by Rescue America leader Don Treshman's foreboding words. Each person he meets--from Klan members to Operation Rescue antiabortion radicals to militiamen--offers a piece to a puzzle that points to a deadly domestic terrorist plot to be carried out in the name of life. The most radical of these men and women are prepared to use any means necessary to impose a theocracy, based on the laws of the Old Testament, on all Americans. Their "ends-justify-the-means" mentality ensures that all bets are off in America's culture war--a struggle between those who seek to preserve our treasured ideals of freedom and individual liberty and those who are committed to making the one-size-fits-all rules of the Bible the law of the land--and who are ready, willing, and able to take up arms to force their ideology on others. Aided by a history of involvement in conservative Christian organizations, Reiter gains the confidence of many of the major players in this radical movement, first on his own, and later as a reluctant informer for the FBI. What he learns about the larger agenda of the radical Christian activists is sometimes more disturbing than the individual acts of violence he describes. This agenda is brought out in shocking details as he uncovers the ties that exist between them and "respectable" conservatives including Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan--and exposes the dangerous road ahead if this agenda is realized. LIVE FROM THE GATES OF HELL takes you inside the secret meetings and intrigues that set the stage for violence by radical antiabortion groups, militias, and other radicals from the Religious Right. It is a story with serious implications for the entire Christian conservative movement and, by extension, the Republican Party.

- t***m (574)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéThis sellers "two day" shipping policy is baloney - it took a over five days and repeated emails before this item shipped. I almost thought I would have to request a refund from eBay. That being said, when it did ship, it was nicely packaged and arrived undamaged. I would not buy from this person again because they don't honor their own policies! I can only leave positive feedback because 1) the item DID arrive, and 2) it was as described. The rest wasn't a great experience.(D) Talisman The Magical Quest Game 3rd Ed. (2003) Games Workshop FACTORY SEALED (n°196304646554)
