Christocrats, the corporate-religious complex and the apocalyptic treeehouse

Commenter Sunfell on Daily Kos writes:

One promising and very telling word comes from Rev. Rod Parsley, a pastor of the World Harvest megachurch in Ohio. He declared, "We're not Democrats. We're not Republicans. We're Christocrats!"

That might also lead to another term that seems to be percolating under the surface of the metasphere: the idea-meme of the corporate-religious complex- that synergistic, and potentially fatal (to our country) blend of Gilded Age corporate greed and hard right religious fervor. The corporate-religious complex has replaced the military-industrial complex as the driving force behind our government. If we plan to keep our country, this complex must be derailed, the synergy spoiled and the perpetrators sent off chasing their own tails.

It's a tough nut to crack, but it is crackable. They're human beings, with a huge cross-shaped chip on their shoulder. If that wood could be used for something useful, to build a bridge, perhaps, we could find a way to talk them down from their Apocalyptic treehouse.

It isn't really a "complex" so much as it is an "axis."

I think it sounds more sinister that way, also.

The "corporate-religious axis"

On second thought, this is even better, because it distinguishes the particular brand of "religion" from the rest:

The "corporate-religious-right axis"
