What the 'Left Behind' Series Really Means
Link borrowed from aravensane. Thanks!
Joe Bageant's rant is not as much focused on the Left Behind series of books so much as on the underlying meaning for American culture: that fundamentalists, people who believe in the foundational material for these poorly-written novels, hold a ridiculous political sway. He also includes opinions on how the Democrats are a bunch of pussies, and that if progressives are to get anywhere, they need to begin to seriously rethink political strategies in the face of the Juggernaut that is Heartland America.
