The most dangerous movement in American politics today is not Trumpism. It is Christofascism. With the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the organized effort to impose the extreme religious views of a minority of Americans on the entire country, at the expense of many of our most basic freedoms, took a disturbing step forward.
Despite Speaker Johnson’s claims of being a constitutional “originalist,” via his elevation by a unanimous vote of his Republican colleagues he has moved America closer to having precisely the kind of government America’s founders most feared.
Thomas Jefferson said he viewed with “solemn reverence that act of the whole of the American people” which established “a wall of separation between church and state.” George Washington approved a treaty that explicitly stated, “The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” The very First Amendment in America’s Bill of Rights states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” The principal author of the Constitution, James Madison, in his treatise, “Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments,” described 15 reasons why the U.S. government must avoid backing any religion.

Mike Johnson is in good company. I was called a Christofascist the other day by a leftist. I’m so proud.
They pulled this line when it was Cruz v Trump…
So if Cruz is more dangerous, then might as well go Trump !

What better recommendation can he get?
Bravo Gaetz.
“For at least 25 years, nativity scenes have been placed behind plexiglass or otherwise protected from vandalism.”
No one feels the need to protect them where I live. They are placed in the open same as they’ve always been.
FUD
If any religion goes hand in hand with fascism, it’s ISlime.
My thoughts exactly.
Sick leftists are Christophobic.
>> Notice how quiet [the left] were about mccarthy?
Good point.
>> I was called a Christofascist the other day by a leftist. I’m so proud.
I actually AM a “Christofascist”, properly defined.
Or, if one prefers, a “Christian Nationalist” — again, properly defined.
Through accident of birth, my skin is what most people would call white, so if one prefers, I am a White Christian Nationalist or White Christofascist.
I know my real identity — who CHRIST says I am — so I am unshamed of these labels.
The constitution does not say that politicians can’t be religious. And of course look how things are going since most of government turned against god.
Sounds like leftist projection.
Daily Beast????
Yahoo????
See ya!
Simple history checking will show that the founders believed that the govt needed people of moral religious conviction or it wouldn’t survive. I believe that is in the fed papers?

Some have been bought off .
The first might save your soul.
The second will bankrupt you, turn your children into freaks, ultimately put you in chains and maybe shoot you.
The third will degrade and abuse you in every imaginable way and probably cut off your head.
Take your pick.
Good catch
They always pull that to brainwash the stupid
How many think it actually says “separation of church and state”?
It’s their typical trick just because someone else said that
My thoughts exactly. Now if Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney come out against him then we will definitely know Mike is the right guy
Like “Islamophobia”.
