My Problem With Andrew Sullivan
The Patriot Post Blog ^ | 25 Jan, 2011 | B.P. Terpstra

Posted on 01/25/2011 2:08:03 PM PST by AustralianConservative

As things now stand, Christians who hope to overthrow prostitute-killing Islamism, support a baby's right to a full birth, and defend time-honored marriage are Christianists.

But there's more. Tea Party members are also Christianists even if they're self-identified atheists, according to Andrew Sullivan. Appearing on NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" last week, The Daily Dish blogger, inveighed: "The Tea Party, of course is not about fiscal issues at all. They have no plans to balance the budget now or any time in the future. They are radical Christianist, right-wing group..."

I have my doubts.

Indeed, Andrew Sullivan is so obsessed with Christianists (the unicorns of American political life) that some theorize he is one -- or am I just spreading a hate joke planted by the Protestant Ann Coulter?

To be balanced, though, in 2006 (May 7, to be precise) Sullivan did admit he had a problem in one confessional piece, "My Problem with Christianism." In his case against Big Christian, the self-professed Christian even gave examples of Christianism's evil reach, minus the hooked nosed Baptist cartoons.

Sullivan - just another girly boy who is obsessed with Sarah Palin’s uterus (I think he wishes he were in there). He is also an snti-Semite.

My problems? Besides him being a fraudulent pseudo-conservative, an atheist and homosexual?

The Tea Party, of course is not about fiscal issues at all. They have no plans to balance the budget now or any time in the future. They are radical Christianist, right-wing group.

Hey NAMBLA member, why don't you ask Paul Ryan about no plans for balancing the budget. Your incoherent ramblings make no sense and that is why no one reads or listens to you. Enjoy irrelevancy, Nancy.

P.S.: Take your "Christianist" slur and stuff it up your @$$ next time you hit the bath houses.

I really don’t care about bad things befalling prostitutes, but enough about politicians.

No the Islamicists think that any women peeking out from under the veil is a prostitute to be killed. Meanwhile sodomizing infants and little boys is apparently okay (for the inhuman scum at least) if no love is involved.

Islam is one big crazy murderous cult.

The Taxed Enough Already movement is not about fiscal issues at all??

Is he sure about that?

Yeah he does have an obsession with Sarah Palin too (good point). Is it because she is a “Christianist”? And I can’t work out why he seems to hate Israel either.

Right it is hard to see his Catholicism in all of this. He needs to come out as atheist (my guess).

I suspect he hasn’t read one Tea Party protest sign. Or he is making things up.

Jesus saved one prostitute from stoning after telling her to sin no more. Islamists prefer to stone them. We are so more advanced than that.

He should be excommunicated.

What is the difference between a Christianist and a Christian?

A to Q: As Joe Carter says a Christianist is a Christian who disagrees with Andrew Sullivan.

A Christian is someone who agrees with Jesus, among other things.

The big picture: There’s no Islamist-like Christian movement so Sullivan had to invent one.

I understood Catholics have standards – not in Andrew Sullivan’s case. But I think you’re right. According to Catholic values, he should have been excommunicated years ago. Instead, Sullivan sees himself as an excommunicator. The whole thing is bizarre.
