“Waiting for Armageddon” joins two other documentaries, “Jesus
Camp” and “Unborn in the USA”, in lifting up the rock and showing
the creepy, crawly things that have begun to play a larger and
larger role in American politics since Ronald Reagan’s presidency.
Indeed, there are grounds for dating the fundamentalist turn back
to Jimmy Carter who was the country’s first “born again”
President. After all, he was the first as well to open up an
attack on the working class and poor at the time of his “malaise”
speech, considered by some to be the opening salvo in a thirty
year war on the welfare state.
