I was perusing the bibliography of Bob McDonnell's theocratic thesis and decided to use "teh Google" on the people he cites as his main sources. Pretty quickly, my computer screen started filling up with more right-wing craziness than I knew what to do with. For now, here's a small example of what you find when you look into the individuals who form the basis for Bob McDonnell's worldview. It's not a pretty picture.James Hitchcock: "Any politician who truly believes that the fetus is a person has an obligation to protect it, no matter how many voters may disagree."
Connaught Marshner: "Highly critical of the women’s movement’s growing influence on the culture and on public policy, and with the support of her male bosses, Marshner became a strategist for the anti-feminist backlash. She authored a series of issue pamphlets at Heritage on the conservative response to feminism, sharpening her arguments against women’s issues like child care and abortion. By 1979 she worked alongside Phyllis Schlafly, organizing women around traditional definitions of the family. Marshner created a network of evangelical women opposed to the ERA, abortion, gay rights and pornography, durable issues that live on in today’s Christian Right campaigns."
Lenore Weitzman: "Lenore Weitzman used inaccurate estimates in her book, 'The Divorce Revolution,' in arriving at the conclusion that women and children end up economically disadvantaged after divorce. This erroneous findings resulted in distortion of arguments and discussions over no-fault divorce. She failed to inform the public that the data she had relied upon cannot be replicated because of problems with archive records."
Allan C. Carlson: "Carlson has also criticized the impact of feminism on women's roles in society as disastrous and continuing to take its toll on the family. Conservative political scientist Paul Gottfried has cited this position as an example of the antifeminist position."
Peter J. Riga: "Our survival is more important than the Constitution because what good is a document of 'We the People' if we the people are no longer. It would be like the Jews fighting for survival from the holocaust. The Nazis had to be either killed or imprisoned forever."
