Post<\/em>. Phillips est un formidable politologue am\u00e9ricain, avec une exp\u00e9rience pratique (il fut le conseiller politique de la campagne Nixon en 1968) et une orientation politique nettement conservatrice. C’est lui qui identifia la nouvelle majorit\u00e9 conservatrice am\u00e9ricaine qui \u00e9lut Nixon et qui, plus tard, \u00e9lut Reagan, majorit\u00e9 regroupant les r\u00e9publicains et une partie des d\u00e9mocrates du Sud.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCette majorit\u00e9 s’est transform\u00e9e. Phillips pose son regard de politologue sur ce nouveau ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne, c’est-\u00e0-dire un regard rationnel, presque scientifique, sur un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne qu’on juge en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral trop irrationnel pour en bien tenir compte : la transformation du parti r\u00e9publicain en premier parti religieux dans l’histoire des \u00c9tats-Unis. Imagine-t-on ce que cela signifie? 40% de l’\u00e9lectorat de GW, en m\u00eame temps que GW lui-m\u00eame et nombre de ses acolytes, et un bon nombre d’\u00e9lus r\u00e9pondent \u00e0 cette d\u00e9finition : \u00ab Many millions believe that the Armageddon described in the Bible is coming soon. Chaos in the explosive Middle East, far from being a threat, actually heralds the second coming of Jesus Christ. Oil price spikes, murderous hurricanes, deadly tsunamis and melting polar ice caps lend further credence.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tDans l’article signal\u00e9 ici, Phillips pr\u00e9sente certains aspects d’une th\u00e8se analytique dont l’essentiel se trouve dans son nouveau livre American Theocracy: The Perils and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century<\/em>. Sa th\u00e8se g\u00e9n\u00e9rale est qu’on se trouve aujourd’hui devant une alliance explosive entre les chr\u00e9tiens extr\u00e9mistes, les p\u00e9troliers US et l’endettement national. \u00ab The potential interaction between the end-times electorate, inept pursuit of Persian Gulf oil, Washington’s multiple deceptions and the financial crisis that could follow a substantial liquidation by foreign holders of U.S. bonds is the stuff of nightmares. To watch U.S. voters enable such policies the GOP coalition is unlikely to turn back is depressing to someone who spent many years researching, watching and cheering those grass roots.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
