An article recently published in AlterNet:
The Family: Secretive Christian Group of Conservative Lawmakers Building a ‘God-Led’ Government
Jeff Sharlet, the journalist who helped expose a cohort of powerful lawmakers promoting a Christian Agenda at home and abroad, discusses his new book.
The Family, also known as the Fellowship, is a cohort of powerful lawmakers seeking to create a “God-led government” at home and abroad. Chief among the journalists who brought the Family to light is Jeff Sharlet, author of the new book, C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy. (The title of the book refers to the Washington townhouse that serves as the gathering place and sometime residence of Family members.)

I object to allowing nefarious groups to co-opt common words and thereby destroy their meanings. By calling these freaks “the Family” you are doing the work of evil. Refuse them the name they desire.
