the following is from
url www.stormloader.com/thescorpion/18schmitt.html
Taking a leaf from the Spanish Catholic counter-revolutionary of the 1830s
and 1840s (Donoso), Schmitt goes after middle-class parliamentarians for
excessive reliance on legal arrangements. He ascribes this political
faith to the prevalent Deism of the European bourgeoisie, going back to
the eighteenth century Enlightenment. Bourgeois liberals had transferred
to the political realm the deistic belief in a self-regulating universe
overseen by a divine watchmaker, whence their lack of understanding for the
necessarily conflictual nature of political life and the need for
sovereigns to settle the otherwise widening disputes between classes and
interests.

re: Littleton, Colorado's shooting rampage
Much of that blame lies here in this room. Much of that blame lies behind
the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves.
I wrote a poem...
Your laws ignore our deepest needs
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage.
You've outlawed simple prayer.
etc.
What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in
doing so, we opened the doors to hatred and violence.
> what do you suppose this is about? schmitt's political theology?
We do not need more religion. We do not need more gaudy television
evangelists spewing out verbal religious garbage. We do not need more
million dollar church buildings built while people with basic needs are
being ignored.
what does all this have to do with the crisis?
