Early warning shots-- the War against Religion...
...developing:
The Left's 'Dominionist' Demons -- As near as I can tell, "Dominionism" is the Left's version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. A big lie used to justify bigotry and irrational hatred.

It's been developing for some time- think back to the nearly-uniform hostility the Pop Culture shows towards anything religious in nature.

Thanks for assembling these links. I've been really puzzled by the references to "Dominionists" that I've started seeing in the press. I'm a Christian, and I had never heard of them until the left dug them up. And now it appears that we're all members!

Thank you both-- I've been sending this stuff in bits & pieces to religious groups in our community, and finally got it all together in one place-here.
People of Faith need to see this stuff for what it is- it's developing an ugly taint.

I think it's a useful concept. There are certain backlashes against secularism that are going too far. We on the right should be ready to identify them and know the best way to limit their impact on politics. There are implications in extreme
dominionism that bode seriously ill for a free republic.
A proper reaction to secularism will prevail; an extreme or misguided one will lead to chaos.

Only the Loons on the left could demonize Jesus Christ and his message of love, hope and caring, while at the same time promoting immoral behavior as "good".
To: Nathan Zachary
Anyone can utter religious words while meaning something else, or having himself and others convinced that he means well while really having a greed for power in mind.
There's no denying it.

Did you read George Will's article yesterday? He was touting that the attacks against Christians are being over-rated and that we are acting like Chicken Little. I guess if they ever start carting us off to concentration camps, when the UN becomes the workld body, he will be saying, "Don't worry, folks...it's just the most radical element that even they couldn't control. We'll all be better off now!"

I like George Will well enough, but I'm afraid his years of being among the more elite has made him tone-deaf to the concerns of us closer to everyday America.

IMO religious ideology doesn't belong in politics. Spirituality does.

There probably are overreacters everywhere, to everything, but I don't think they're anywhere near as significant as these articles make them sound. I live in the South, where they might be expected to be concentrated, and I'd never heard of them before. I would suspect that most of them keep away from secular society all together and probably belong to some fairly clannish little groups that do not actually engage in politics, or have very little following if they do.
But it's a useful concept for the left to use to attack religious people. It's like saying everybody opposed to abortion is a would-be Eric Rudolph.
