Getting unbiased information is problematic, because Christian Reconstructionists believe in getting power through stealth, and conservatives are loathe to criticize those who help them. Especially fellow travelers. This brings up a central point: the similarity of Christian Reconstructionists to Communists. I have been around Communists and worked with them, and it amazes me how similar they are in their methods.
Working in the background
Stealth
Belief in a highly disciplined elite
work in coalitions through a variety of "fronts"
poised to take power
educate and indoctrinate young people
frighten critics by a combination of carrot (work in your campaign and give you money) and stick (threats, ostracism, ad hominem attacks) Techniques quite similar, I might note, to what Arthur Silber describes here.
