Is this for real or is it propaganda? It says "according to media sources".....

I haven't heard anything about it from a credible source.

[Salvation]

BTTT for more discussion.

"Brame has served as a top official of American Vision, an Atlanta-based group that seeks to replace America's secular democracy with a `Christian' regime based on `biblical law,' including enforcement of the harsh legal code of the Old Testament." Is this the sort of thing people have in mind when they talk about the American Taliban?

[Cleburne]

The Southern Poverty Law Center (does anyone at all understand the meaning of that name?) had a piece on one of these groups. Methinks they (the SPLC) and their ilk need attention amd want to draw up a new boogeyman-for the sum effort of further cast anyone who disents with their views as evil racists Taliban members.

[Cleburne]

And let me make it clear these folks (if indeed their views are as extreme as we're made to believe) are kooks to the extreme-no Christian is under the law, for we are under grace, not strict legalism. And it is certainly foolishness to believe that we should force Mosaic law on non-Christians-heck, Christians for that matter! I find it ironic that while they supposedly wish to impose Judaic law, they find Judaism evil. Clear sign something's in their water!

BRAME HAS TIES TO GROUPS THAT OPPOSE WOMEN'S RIGHTS, REJECT DEMOCRACY AND BELIEVE GAYS SHOULD BE EXECUTED

LOL! Such slander....Brame is not into gender equity feminist bunk, embraces our representative republic, and has never said that homosexuals should be killed.

[anniegetyourgun]

BTW, welcome to FR.

[Hacksaw]

Help! A Christian! The Bible! I won't be able to buy hustler in the grocery store anymore!!!

[Clovis_Skeptic]

I admittedly know nothing about any of these groups, but the first thoughts that come to my mind are things like...oh no, a pro homosexual, sodomist that advocates abortion, cloning, euthanasia, harboring terrorists, teaching teenagers the joy of s&m, and all would be much more acceptable to the sheeple of the US.

Didn't this very same guy once buy a pizza from a shop who's owner was second cousin, once removed, from a guy who was rumored to have Mafia connections? And, of course, he uses gasoline refined from Saudi oil from wells owned by the family of a guy who went to school with the brother of the terrorist Bin Laden.

Despite all of this, the Dems will find some kind of flaw with the guy. He seems pretty forthright to me.

[Cicero]

Have they said that gays should be executed? I doubt it. Have they said that homosexuality should be criminalized? Well, homosexuality and bestiality were criminalized in this country up until about ten years ago. And up to then the Supreme Court agreed that these laws were constitutional. They were seldom enforced, as long as homosexuals kept their behavior to themselves. It was simply a way of keeping sexual perversity out of sight where it wouldn't pervert the whole society. Historically that has been the typical way of handling the matter.

This was my favorite accusation, however:

In the September 1999 issue of the group's Biblical Worldview, an AV author referred to openly gay Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) as a "lesbian Congressthing."

How awful. Terrible. How could she possibly say such a thing?

[Ol' Sparky]

Balances out the Joycelyn Elders-like AIDS czar...

[Sueann]

Hmmmm?? Looks like the President wants a little "balance" on the NLR board - balance against all those ultra leftist liberals. No wonder the libs are in attack mode!!

[STD]

Sounds good to me

[BunnySlippers]

This idea of Robert Brame may be disinformation ... it's all over liberal sites. But I looked up American Vision (americanvision.org) and I personally would not support someone who wanted to advance their agenda. Otherwise, when I checked the news, I could find nothing to suggest that George Bush is thinking of appointing him.

[noah]

The smearing of Christian Reconstructionists is just a pile of HORSE PUCKY. The views they hold are severly distorted by enemies of the GOSPEL who hate anything that centers on JESUS CHRIST and His Kingdom.

Before the Social Gospellers assaulted Bible-Believing Christians with 1)German higher criticism

2) Darwin

2)Marx and

3) Freud, in the early 20th century, just about all Christians held these same views with just a little less Calvinism.

Go for it "W"; just make sure they're INTERIM appointments. The Democrat senate will never approve them otherwise.
