You should all read both articles. And if you aren't seeing Nehemiah Scudder when you are done, maybe you need to read Revolt in 2100 (buy it here, or find it in the library).

And to those who will say, "So what, the President doesn't have the power to change the Constitution", I suggest you research the The Yoo position on the "Unitary Executive", and also martial law.

So the Republicans are apparently on track to nominate an avowed Rapturist, who will certainly further taint church state separation, and continue the failed policies of the Bush regime in the Middle East.

If Huckabee doesn't scare you, you don't know enough about him. Same goes for Rick Scarborough. Believe me. I moved away from Pearland just over a year ago. I've seen Scarborough's influence up close and personal.

Huckabee makes strong showing at Value Voter's Summit

Time: Huckabee's Bid for the Christian Right

The conflict has been brewing underneath the surface, but the results of the straw poll at Saturday's Values Voters Summit made it official: the real struggle in the 2008 Republican primaries will be not between Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney or social conservatives and fiscal conservatives but between Christian Right leaders and the conservatives in the pews.

They have the usual Dom trick of painting their ideological foes as being the sort they themselves are, and their taste for overheated language about Green policies is also cute -- to wit, "Greens Economic Policies would cause a Stockmarket Crash" (Goddess, it's good to see people with their priorities in order!); "Greens to reintroduce death tax"; "Banning Pet Ownership -- Bizarre Greens Policy" -- but the best part has to be the pages about "Creepy Greens", which includes ~gasp!~ a *witch*, and "Freaks", where you'll find a witch who ~whisper~ believes in fairies! ~/Mrs. Grundy~

McCain says Christian president better than a Muslim one

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]exotic_princess)

Hooo boy LOL


NYDailyNews article here

"I admire the Islam. There's a lot of good principles in it," he said. "But I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith."

*I LOL'd at this*

In the interview, the senator also said the "Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation."
There is no mention of God, Jesus or Christ in that entirely secular document.

Louisiana Senator earmarks money for creationists

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]exotic_princess)

http://blog.nola.com/times-picayune/2007/09/vitter_earmarked_federal_money.html

WASHINGTON -- Sen. David Vitter, R-La., earmarked $100,000 in a spending bill for a Louisiana Christian group that has challenged the teaching of Darwinian evolution in the public school system and to which he has political ties.

The money is included in the labor, health and education financing bill for fiscal 2008 and specifies payment to the Louisiana Family Forum "to develop a plan to promote better science education."

The earmark appears to be the latest salvo in a decades-long battle over science education in Louisiana, in which some Christian groups have opposed the teaching of evolution and, more recently, have pushed to have it prominently labeled as a theory with other alternatives presented. Educators and others have decried the movement as a backdoor effort to inject religious teachings into the classroom.

The nonprofit Louisiana Family Forum, launched in Baton Rouge in 1999 by former state Rep. Tony Perkins, has in recent years taken the lead in promoting "origins science," which includes the possibility of divine intervention in the creation of the universe.

Dommie Presidential Sweepstakes...

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]vanmojo)

At first I was going leave this as a comment in the thread on the Dobson v. Thompson dust-up, but found I had a bit too much to say

Originally, the Dommie guy was going to be Chuck Hegel. Even a crank like Mike Huckabee was a "fall back" candidate for these guys. Since Hegel isn't running there has been a lot of rudderless wandering about.

I think out in the hinterlands of Redneckistan Ron Paul is going to get a lot play with the rank and file Dommie lumpenproles. He won't get the love from the institutional cranks, because they still have enough of their base reality matrix to know that the rest of Republican party will not back an candidate so firmly against the Bush Administration's foreign policy.

However, there is a possibility that most people are not even thinking at the moment...

Jeb

Yes, I see your eyes rolling even now, as you read that. However, the front loading of primaries means that if no clear front runner emerges quickly with the momentum and enough of them stay in the race, then the party can start to look for a "White Knight" candidate to draft late.

There are couple of points to ponder:

p1. Jeb has been staying out of it for now. Not building a record that can be used against him. I know it's little like inferring an object's presence by it's absence, but this is American politics...

p2. He still has access to a fund raising network that could generate enough cash overnight to make him a player at any moment he chooses to fire it up.

p3. If his smirking chimp of a brother starts bringing home troops, any troops, that could ameliorate some of the Bush Fatigue factor, not to mention if the stock market continues up and the U.S. Economy can avoid a complete meltdown in the next 9 to 15 months.

The thing to remember about Jeb, is that he's the smart one. He's every bit the orator as Bill Clinton and as sharp on his feet. He's more telegenic than any one else in the race right now.

W is a piker when it comes to Dommie politics; a dilettante who uses the appropriate words to bilk the masses, but who really lacks the belief and the intellect to connect that belief to a policy to be much more than a cheap grifter...

Jeb is the real thing. The guy is smart, disciplined and as Dommie-crazy as your darkest imaginings can make him.

Now, I run this past my friends and they usually humor me with a "we'll see..." or "I don't know..." Yeah, I know this is something a far-fetched idea. Yet, I still believe it is firmly within the realm of possibility. This is how the Bush family comes at you, when and where you least expect it; you're looking one way and then look down only to see one of them crawling up your leg with a knife in its teeth...

A rather curious chain letter...

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]theogrin) A friend recently forwarded a chain letter to me which seems to have rather obvious dominionist overtones, not to mention a very large degree of rather disturbing references and speech patterns.  I figured I'd place it here, because it seems to be the sort of 'demonstration of Dominionism' that you guys might want to take a look at.

I realize that the entire article isn't necessarily an impression of such thought patterns, but it does carry with it a lot of the imagery that the 'Church and State are inextricably joined' mode of thought has...so, without further ado.  I've not added any bold or italics to the sections that I think are notable, but if there's any call for them, I'll edit the post.


So, yeah...I'm disturbed, frankly speaking.  I'm sure it may be an innocent letter, but it rings a lot of warning bells...any thoughts there?

Another country struggles over religious issues during elections

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]idragosani)

This is tangential to main topic of Dominionist Christianity, but may be of interest here.

ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) - A general election on Sunday in this mostly Muslim nation might help answer a divisive question: whether women should be allowed to wear head scarves in official settings and state institutions.

It was a tempest over a head scarf that helped trigger the elections in the first place. Secularists reacted with outrage when the Islamic-oriented ruling party proposed a presidential candidate whose wife covered her head.

Pagan prayer may draw God's wrath, says AFA.

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]shapeshft)

As a follow-up to the post on the anti-Hindu AFA action alert, the latest on this issue on the One News Now website is a fearmongering article claiming that Thursday's Senate prayer will "start the countdown to judgment". AFA spokesman Buddy Smith says that he hopes that senators will, "for conscience sake," choose not to enter the room until the prayers are over.
