Theocon Politics

Theoconservatism is a political label referring to members of the Christian right, particularly those whose ideology is a synthesis of elements of American conservatism, Conservative Christianity and social conservatism, expressed through political means. This term first appeared in 1996 in a The New Republic article entitled "Neocon v. Theocon" by Jacob Heilbrunn, where he wrote that "[T]he neoconservatives believe that America is special because it was founded on an idea—a commitment to the rights of man embodied in the Declaration of Independence—not in ethnic or religious affiliations. The theocons, too, argue that America is rooted in an idea, but they believe that idea is Christianity.

I remember this woman who was hounded by some guy who insisted that God had told him they were to marry. The experience made her suspicious of both him and God.
We have reason to be suspicious of anyone claiming to speak on God’s behalf whenever it is to their own advantage.
If Theocon politics (theoconversatism) were about those having two coats giving to those having none, an immigration policy that welcomes strangers, the elevating the interests of other nations above one’s own, and the response to acts of terrorism by turning the other cheek; they’d sound like Theo, a political Amen to the Sermon on the Mount.
But Theocon politics are the very opposite of the Sermon on the Mount. So much so that one has good reason to be suspicious not only of the politics but of its god.
