Washington state Rep. Matt Shea acknowledged Wednesday he had distributed a four-page manifesto titled “Biblical Basis for War,” which describes the Christian God as a “warrior,” details the composition and strategies of a “Holy Army” and condemns abortion and same-sex marriage.

The document is organized in 14 sections with multiple tiers of bullet points and a smattering of biblical citations. Under one heading, “Rules of War,” it makes a chilling prescription for enemies who flout “biblical law.”

Spokane is on the eastern side of the state - practically in Idaho.

Quickly reading through the document, it looks like “just war” theory stuff. The Progs think it is a call to action to overthrow the government. To me, it looks more like it could be about spiritual warfare. The article doesn’t give any real context.

As far east as you can get and still be in WA State. And Shea is a flat out psychopath.

I never thought so. I always kinda liked him. He was one of the first oathkeepers to head to the Bundy ranch.
