Weird Tract Number 80: Chalcedon Report No. 351 (October 1994) by the Chalcedon Foundation

Troy Davis writes:

In the collection of The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts are a dozen copies of The Chalcedon Report from the 1990s.  It's the publication of The Chalcedon Foundation, the leading Christian Reconstructionist organization; Reconstructionism is a fundamentalist, theocratic dominionist movement founded by Rousas John Rushdoony (1916-2001); it's hardcore and anti-democratic. These people want to replace American democracy with its own buzzkill version of Biblical law: the death penalty for homosexual acts and incorrigible children, and women who had abortions. Back in the 90s, I wrote the group for general information and they assumed I was a live one and kept sending me their report until I moved.

One of the regular columnists at the time was conservative firebrand John Lofton (1941-2014) who previously wrote for Sun Myung Moon's Washington Times; Lofton was a gadfly on the talk show circuit (on CNN's Crossfire, an exasperated Frank Zappa told Lofton, ". . . kiss my ass!"; see the episode here). Rushdoony was a regular writer for the Report; like most wannabe autocrats, he was really longwinded and boring.
