I would say that these same politicians also seek to even protect them from scrutiny.  This is more of the same coming from the politicians who severely cut taxes for the rich, and now are asking the ordinary people and the poor to take up the slack- while denying necessary services for those same poor and middle class people (and finding new and creative ways to increase taxes on them through fees and tolls).  These are the same politicians who tried to have the state officially solicit funds for Dobson's bunch.  The same politicians who tried to eliminate separation of church and state from the state constitution.

They are also trying to destroy the public schools system by eliminating tenure, tying pay to the outcome of standardized testing, and cutting funding to the point where schools have trouble functioning.  Of course, at the same time there is a constant rumble of "school vouchers" coming from Tallahassee.

What bothers me is that the people in this state don't see how all of this ties together- with Dominionism at the center.  They insist that all of the bad things happening in this state are separated and isolated- that there aren't ties between the destruction of public education and the funding of "faith-based" organizations, for instance.  When you try to point out the connections, you're called an anti-Christian or a "conspiracy nut".  Some people, such as academics I know, are aware of what is going on and are scared.  The "average citizen" doesn't have a clue (that is, if they aren't involved in dominionism in the first place) and the general attitude is still that dominionist groups are "a Church; they can't be THAT BAD!".  

I hoped that with the arrest of that "Christian Militia" group, people might start waking up to the threat living in their midst.  It doesn't look like it (and the dominionists in this area are screaming "PERSECUTION!")
