 Christian Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Democracy is a political ideology, born at the end of the 19th century, largely as a result of the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII, in which the Vatican recognizes workers' misery and agrees that something should be done about it, in reaction to the rise of the socialist and trade-union movements.
The position of the Roman Catholic Church on this matter was further clarified in a subsequent encyclical, Quadragesimo Anno, by Pope Pius XI in 1931.
The duty of the State to care for its citizens is of some importance for Christian Democrats, but they generally do not support Christian socialism, and, in recent decades, Christian Democratic Parties in Europe have shifted more towards the conservative position of reducing the role of the State in the economy.

 The History of Freedom in Christianity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Christianity, which in earlier times had addressed itself to the masses, and relied on the principle of liberty, now made its appeal to the rulers, and threw its mighty influence into the scale of authority.
The political produce of the middle ages was a system of states in which authority was restricted by the representation of powerful classes, by privileged associations, and by the acknowledgment of duties superior to those which are imposed by man.
But the dread of revolution was the deepest of his political sentiments; and the gloss by which the Guelphic divines had got over the passive obedience of the apostolic age, was characteristic of that mediaeval method of interpretation which he rejected.

 CHRISTIAN ZIONISM - THE LAND OF ISRAEL -A Christian Zionist View
It is, therefore, not a political movement, but since it has to do with a land and a particular people it may, from time to time, agree with a certain political perspective.
Christian Zionists are determined to proclaim the truth of the New Testament, namely that God is not finished with Israel and that, in fact, she will yet become a "cornerstone" of His plan for the world.
Christian Zionists believe that in seeking her peace they are in the long run working for the world's peace (Isaiah 2:1-4).

 Program of the Socio-political Movement EURASIA
The eurasist political model must be founded on the imperative of participation of the society in adopting the founding historical decisions, on genuine people’s government.
Hence, choosing the political system of the «third path» as fundamental shall be the thoughtful, responsible, fatal step toward the definitive adoption by Russia of its leading role as the most general, universal and all-inclusive alternative world-view in the political field.
Hence, narrow political dissent must retreat in second plan before the grandiosity of this project, and political-social conflicts — objectively inevitable in any society — must not extend in any case to the sphere of the general strategic course, which under no circumstances can be held hostage by interparty struggles or social frictions.

 Christian Identity
Christian Identity's origins can be traced back to the nineteenth century in Great Britain, where a small circle of religious thinkers advanced the idea, known as British-Israelism or Anglo-Israelism, that modern Europeans were biologically descended from the ancient Israelites of the Old Testament-specifically, from the "Lost Tribes" scattered by invasions of Hittites, Assyrians and Babylonians.
European (Ashkenazic) Jews were thus "false" Israelites who further obscured the fact that it was really white Europeans who were the "true" Israelites.
Christian Identity also found a welcome home in extreme anti-government activism, notably the tax protest movement, the sovereign citizen movement (descended from Gale's Posse Comitatus) and the militia movement.
