The Reconstruction Movement Unmasked

When I was a good evangelical, Francis Schaeffer was a Christian thought leader. In the sixties or seventies, I read at least one of Schaeffer's books: True Spirituality, for sure. 

I lost track of him, but he became a key figure in the Reconstructionist movement to return Western Society to a more biblical orientation. His son, Frank Schaeffer, worked along with him and knows all about the movement and people in it.

Frank is appalled at how the movement has regressed into such a right-wing, anti-democratic belief system, and for what it is wroth, I am pretty well convinced that it is not exactly what his father, Francis Schaeffer, had in mind.

Frank exposes much of this Christian Nationalism in this video clip, and it is more extreme than one might think and, particularly, focuses on Mike Johnson.

It's scary stuff. He does not mention Project 2025 in the video, but that is the same thing as what he discusses here, written by the perpetrators themselves. They wrote most of it down, but seem to still hid the most extreme parts of their platform. As extreme as it seems, I don't think Schaeffer is a crackpot, and I think the 900 page document proves that.

Whatever your religious or political beliefs, I doubt that an Old Testament Theocracy is what people have in mind for the USA.  I know that we quickly move from blog post to blog post, or at least I tend to do this, but I think it is worth taking 19 minutes to watch this video.
