Anyone who's studied the religious right can't help but notice a pattern to how they've operated over the last three decades. They get a little bit of power, only to overreach and get smacked down hard. Then they slither back into the shadows and wait a few years to build back up again. Wash, rinse, repeat. Well, if a video captured by People for the American Way is any indication, the overreach is beginning in earnest.

You may remember that prominent New Apostolic Reformation "prophetess" Cindy Jacobs is spearheading a prayer initiative for this election called Fast Forward. Well, last week at a rally to launch the event held in Washington, the Family Research Council's national prayer director, Pierre Bynum, was on hand to represent his organization, and openly called for non-Christians to be banned from holding office. Watch for yourself.

Well, you can't say they didn't warn us.

The folks at PFAW's Right Wing Watch have dug up evidence that indicates Jacobs is working hand-in-glove with the FRC on this "Fast Forward" drive. The FRC has been in a sort of informal alliance with Jacobs, Peter Wagner and other prominent dominionists for some time, and it looks like this appearance by Bynum pretty much cements it.
