My idiot mother was quoting this Dominionism crap the other day. Was wondering where she got it. She was saying Rick Perry wants to institute the death penalty for blaphemy. Just goes to show—you can’t debate a liberal. They’re out of their minds crazy.

Liberalism is a mental disorder per Michael Savage and he’s absolutely correct.

The death penalty for Blasphemy? That would be Islam. Point that out to her.

A widely discussed article in the Texas Observer claimed that Dominionists -- a "little-known movement of radical Christians" -- are readying an "army of God" to "commandeer civilian government," with Perry the "vessel" for their ambitions. Finally, the New Yorker published a long article claiming that Bachmann believes "Christians, and Christians alone, are Biblically mandated to occupy all secular institutions until Christ returns."

The redneck's Opus Dei.

It may well be religious war. In my mind, Obozo is a Muslim in spirit, if not attendance. Point to whichever GOP candidate you wish, their religious stance is preferred over everything I see Obozo stand for.

Spoken from a point of blazing biblical ignorance.

If we stop to think about it, many things can be framed in the context of a religious war. Religion determines people’s decisions from debates to world events. Consider the Vietnam War, for instance. The French set up an infra-structure putting Catholics in charge. Buddhists didn’t like this and forced the French out leading to an all out religious war.

Reflect, if you will, on the Romney Debate. So many Mormon-haters would rather have someone other than a Mormon, without considering shared values, as a President, we end up with someone like Obama. Look, it was the Evangelicals in Iowa that took Romney out and the Huckster turned his supporters over to McCain as a result of the South Carolina primary leaving us with a tired old quasi-liberal McCain to run against Obama. Does anyone think that Romney could have been worse than Obama or McCain?

Many times we will trust someone, or distrust someone for that matter, simply because of our religious faith. Carter never would have made it past peanut farming if the Southern Baptists would not have propelled him past his level of competency.

I have an ex-Catholic now atheist associate who abhors the idea of any elected Christian proposing laws that would affect him. Tell him your religious faith and you’re done.

Like it or not, most debates are religious ones and the coming election will be no different unless it is more pronounced.

Well, they don’t have anything objective to offer. ~9% (real ~20%) unemployment for a decade, when we should be easing down to 4% by now? $2T deficits with no end? More wars? Tanking $? Time to switch to “my opponent is evil and will eat your children” mode.

Of course the lib anti religious zealots are absolutely correct. We are engaged in a religious war. The forces of evil are aligned against the light of the world. Their arguments have no merit because they oppose the dark imaginings of their own black souls.
Every Republican candidate save 1 is a devout Christian. Even Romney considers himself a Christian.
The Christian faith informs good government. It is the foundation of this nation’s morality and its laws. It is a guiding spirit in our Constitution.
Atheists are right in saying that we are engaged in a religious war. They are on the wrong side.

The liberal agenda revolves around three tools:

Racism
Envy and hatred of anyone who has more of anything
Fear mongering

Liberalism is a religion of nihilism. Liberals are not really for anything but are instead against whatever is.

As Reagan said, Liberalism has the goal of making everyone equally miserable. There is no hope in Liberalism.

Been there, done that (with a lib):
“Oh, but we must be tolerant of Islam, because they are oppressed.”

And no amount of further argument is possible, because they will never concede that Islam is NOT oppressed. And that somehow, oppressed victim status makes the target immune to criticism. (I guess this is a standard tenet of liberalism)

O.K., let’s bring it on. Let’s discuss Mr. Obama’s “church” before he ran for President.

...executive editor of the New York Times, Bill Keller, concludes that "an unusually large number" of Republican candidates "belong to churches that are mysterious or suspect to many Americans."

Yep, there's a strange religion that allows men to marry children as young as six - and men can have children with four women - and call all of those women 'wife'. Even more mysterious, the women must cover their faces to hide their sexual shame. Daughters who are caught with men are often killed by their fathers. And women who are raped without four witnesses are often raped again by a 'judge' before being put to death. OH WAIT - THAT'S ISLAM. The 'suspect' Christian groups have prayer meetings on Wednesday nights...

Bill Keller - you Christaphobe - you bigot - put up or shut up. Do a side by side comparison - Islam vs Christianity. Their 'normal' - our 'normal' - their 'extreme' our 'extreme' and the numbers of people in each group.

And for good measure Keller, here's the stats on terrorists in the last two years:

126 people were indicted for being terrorists in the last two years. NOT ONE of the 126 was Christian. Not one was a white middle class man. Not one was an upper class white woman ( as depicted in 'homeland security' PSA's). Not one was Republican. Not one was conservative. Every person indicted for terrorism in the United States in the past two years - (all 126 ) - was Muslim.

The Left paints the campaign as a religious war, and American leftists are usually campaigning and voting for their currently hoped-for savior, not for a mere president.

If they want to judge the candidates on whether the church they belong to is "radical" just ask them to find any pastor of a church they attended that preached as much hatred as Obama's Rev. Wright.

The left is framing the campaign in those terms to usurp the truth as they always have. When we're looking at the results of sixty years of fascist dedication to eugenics and humanism that has so far permitted the mass human sacrifice of over fifty million infants, we're in a moral war over the very soul of this nation. That's pretty much a religious war whether we like it or not. Either we accept the humanist gods provided in the form of fascist approved elected officials, bow to eugenics, humanism, and emperor worship, or we return to the Judeo-Christian values that built the country.

The fascists know that this election is a real threat to their pagan humanist gods of self and hedonism even if the great mass of numb skulls in the middle don't. Of course they're going to frame this as a religious war, only the religious beliefs of the majority can derail the fascist nobility system that Barry and his Congressional super-majority have finally managed put into law. Obamacare isn't about health, it's about the fascists eighty year struggle to establish a eugenics based nobility and plantation system to replace the plantation system they lost in our Civil War. The same mindset that ran the democrat fascist party prior to that War, established Jim Crow after that war, and created welfare plantations to take black folks out of their own communities under LBJ, still runs the fascist party in this country.

Ever since, "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" was the must read book among Federal and State employees the fascists have been quite open about their dedication to the same eugenics theories Hitler espoused. What's really ironic is how black folks unfailingly support the very eugenics crowd that is so clearly dedicated to eliminating black folks via the mass murder of infants at abortion clinics. Since they've accepted the Judas Goat in Chief as their own they've become the most enthusiastic providers of human sacrifice victims in history, fully supporting and cheering on their own executioners.

For once they are right. He is coming to dominate the world and they will find themselves on the wrong side.
