Oh, too much fodder here....

Falwell (a leader of conservatives and the right - and a founder of one of the biggest Universities for the right) says:
"God had allowed the United States to be attacked because "the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians" had tried to transform America into a secular society.

Is that anti-intellectual? That reminds me of ancient times, when rulers subjugated people by saying they created the weather and fates.
