Also, if you go about three minutes into this video, Morgan Spurlock interviews the preacher kid in 2013.
Just interesting stuff

These people seek the overthrow of our secular form of a Republic and replacing it with a fascist theocratic Christian state.

These wackadoodles exist. Theocracy Watch I think you overstate their threat, though. They would need to pass a number of constitutional amendments to come close to accomplishing their goals and that simply isn't going to happen. The bar to pass an amendment is high enough that nothing controversial will get through. The biggest thing we have to worry about is some weakening of church-state separation as a result of a Republican President replacing liberal judges with conservative ones.
You forget one thing. They are in the military too. You...better...take...them...seriously.
