Ohio Governor John Kasich placed 2nd in the New Hampshire Republican primary and bills himself as some kind of moderate, small government Republican, but a proposal he made proves he is just another typical Republican extremist and a hypocrite. Kasich’s plan to create a new federal government agency informs, besides his hypocrisy and extremism, that he subscribes to the typical Republican mindset that has only created death, destruction and Islamic extremists across the world. In fact, that Republican mindset is the primary reason Middle East Muslims really “hate us;” it is not now or never has been because of our freedoms.

As much as Kasich loves to tout his “small government” bona fides, it is hypocrisy that he proposed a bright idea to use Americans’ tax dollars to create a new federal agency, but not to help Americans. Kasich’s plan is to help the evangelical movement “export and ‘push’ America’s Judeo-Christian belief system across the world.” Seriously, a federal department to proselytize and push Muslims into the Judeo-Christian religion(s) so they can be “exceptional” just like Americans.

Forget that such an agency is in violation of the Separation of Church and State, his plan is a continuation of the George W. Bush “crusade and conquer” ideology that destabilized the Middle East and created the Islamic State. It is also likely that Kasich’s theocratic plan is, among other things, a conservative Christian response to Saudi Arabia’s theocracy that “exports and pushes Saudi Wahhabi Islamic ideology across the Middle East.” For the uninformed, the Saudi Wahhabi ideology is the founding belief system of extremist Islamic groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIL, Daesh, ISIS).

It is apparent that like George W. Bush’s neo-conservative Christian administration, Kasich subscribes to the Republican delusion that the road to peace (read American dominance) in the world is predicated on forcing the religious rights’ particular brand of extremist Christianity down Islamic populations’ throats.
