Could Cons be supporting the cause of Dominionists?

[ck4829]

They usually say "Of course not, we aren't stupid."

Here's an article to make that point:

"What is the real agenda of the religious far Right? I’ll tell you what it is. These nuts want to take over the federal government and suppress other religions through genocide and mass murder, rather than through proselytizing. They want to reestablish slavery. They want to reduce women to near-slavery by making them property, first of their fathers, and then of their husbands. They want to execute anyone found guilty of pre-martial, extramaritial, or homosexual sex. They want to bring back the death penalty for witchcraft.

But aren’t extremists like this far from political power? On the contrary, the political and religious movement called "Dominionism" has gained control of the Republican party, and taken over Congress and the White House as well. Once they take over the judiciary, the conversion of America to a theocracy will be sealed. The Dominionists are very close to achieving their goal. Once they have the courts in their hands, a willing Dominionist Republican-controlled Congress can simply extend the death penalty to witchcraft, adultery, homosexuality, and heresy. The courts will uphold all this once conservatives are in control, since Scalia himself appears to be a Dominionist.

Shocking as it seems, Dominionists have gained extensive control of the Republican party, and the apparatus of government throughout the United States. Yet Dominionists continue to operate in secrecy. It is estimated that 35 million Americans who call themselves Christian adhere to Dominionism, although most of them are unaware of the true nature of their own beliefs and goals. Dominionism has met its timetable for the complete takeover of the American government. It would be a mistake, by the way, to think of Dominionists as fundamentalist Protestants alone. Dominionism has stealthily swept over America, incorporating conservative Roman Catholics and Episcopalians within its ranks. And of course, Dominionists are allied with the neoconservative followers of the political philosopher, Leo Strauss. The quest of these neoconservatives for power and world domination is a self-conscious program of pure, unmitigated evil."

You think you're funny Kurtz.

Well, there is a whole list of things your party have been 'unaware' of starting with supporting Jack Abramoff's efforts to keep slavery legal in the CNMI.

Now ask yourself, looking at that the slaves of the CNMI, is it really impossible that Conservatives could NOT be influenced by Dominionists and other fringe Right Wingers?

1. I think he made a mistake in the way

he wrote it. He made the arguments against the Dominionists and their connection to the Republican Party all too well. A lot of people who read it are going to wonder, despite his mockery in the second half of his editorial.

Of course, like most RW nitwits, he doesn't understand other people well enough to realize it.

2. The Dominionist threat is bigger than they want to acknowledge

Because if they acknowledged what kind of power they have, they'd have a hard time continuing to claim to be a persecuted minority.

On the other hand, it is possible to over blow their power in the Republican Party - look at how fast Bush and the Republicans past tax cuts for the rich and how quickly they got Homosexual marraige off the table. They make symbolic gestures and put zealots on the bench, but they aren't willign to bend over for the faithful in the same way that they are willing to bend over for the wealthy.

3. Does the Pope crap in the woods? Is a bear Catholic?

Fiscal cons made a deal with the devil when they allowed Ronald Reagan to deliver the party's social agenda to the religiously insane in order to get into power. Now they have to be wondering who has been playing whom.
