What’s a “dominionist”? It’s important that you ask that question first, or else you’ll have no way of analyzing what’s going on. According to Wikipedia: Dominionism is described by some contemporary scholars...

A followup to my post on Wednesday: 2007-09-26 What? Politeness Counts in Foreign Relations? And just imagine how we look to the REST of the world with our clueless and crapulous performance. Not that we care a fig for what the world thinks of us, right? Sphere: Related Content
