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 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.

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.
