"...snip, It has become more than obvious that none of the GOP policies are ever going to benefit the people. Our country is reeling from the mistakes of Bush and Cheney, Bush Sr., and even as far back as Reagan. Yet millions of Republicans continue on the same path of destruction. even though they are suffering themselves.

What kind of people never change their minds, even when they are suffering the effects of decades of a failed Party platform, and even continue to champion it?

What kind of people could go stark raving mad over a woman, who has tried to ban books in the public library while Mayor of the city, who would gladly force a woman to carry the baby of a rapist to term, and who knowingly, and willingly brought a delicate and challenged little baby into this world, yet is so ambitious it is obvious she intends to spend no time caring for him, but carries him with her as a tool for sympathy, and to prove her Cult's position on abortion?

What kind of people would support McCain, who's only plans are war with other countries, and more privileges and tax cuts for corporations, when we are bowed down by debt, and deaths of so many of our people from two wars that have accomplished nothing. What kind of people will claim that Corporations should have not only the same rights, but MORE rights than individuals, while these same
Corporations trod on them, steal from them, and take their dollars and jobs overseas?

What kind of people would support the jailing of peaceful dissenters and journalists because it might color their Conventions or upset people?
What kind of people are willing to go on sending their young off to war, when it has become obvious the war is wrong, and started on false information? What kind of people continue to kill innocent people in Iraq for oil?

What kind of people support torture of other human beings who have had no trials, no counsel, and are obviously the weakest and poorest of their respective nations or would not have been abandoned to foreign prisons?
These people have never been convicted of anything, yet Republicans revel in their torture, and are positive they deserve it. Is this any different from the burning and torture of Heretics and Witches by religious zealots in our past?

Only Cults can brainwash and get members to constantly act against their own interests, time after time. Only Cults can cause it's members to turn a blind eye to horrendous crimes of their leaders. Only cults can cause people to donate their hard earned money to those who would just as soon see them dead, as have to support them in any way. In Cults, once you are no longer useful, you are abandoned, or even murdered. Cults do not care if their members are educated, have enough to eat, or even a decent place to lay their heads at night....snip..."

"snip...Sarah Palin has spent more than two and a half decades of her life as a member of an Alaska church which is part of a fanatical Christian-named cult project that is sweeping across America. Palin comes out of the most radical stream of US Born-Again Evangelism known as ‘Joel’s Army,’ an offshoot of what is called Dominionism and sometimes also called the Latter Rain cult or Manifest Sons of God. The movement deliberately attempts to remain below the radar screen.

A Dominionist soldier in McCain’s Army

Sarah Palin is a product of an extreme fringe of the American Evangelical movement known variously as the Third Wave Movement, also known as the New Apostolic Reformation, or as Joel's Army, a part of what is called Dominionism. Until 2002 according to their own website, Palin was a member of Wasilla Assembly of God with Senior Pastor Ed Kalnins. Online video clips of Palin speaking from the pulpit of this church are revealing. Curiously, between the time this article was begun on September 9th and the 11th, the video was removed without explanation:

(http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20712.htm.).

As one researcher familiar with the history of the Third Wave Movement or Dominionism describes, ‘The Third Wave is a revival of the theology of the Latter Rain tent revivals of the 1950s and 1960s led by William Branham and others. It is based on the idea that in the end times there will be an outpouring of supernatural powers on a group of Christians that will take authority over the existing church and the world. The believing Christians of the world will be reorganized under the Fivefold Ministry and the church restructured under the authority of Prophets and Apostles and others anointed by God. The young generation will form ‘Joel’s Army’ to rise up and battle evil and retake the earth for God.’4...snip"

"...snip..How comforting the Calvinistic idea of a “justified sinner” is when one is utilizing Machiavellian techniques to gain political control of a state. It’s more than comforting; it is a required doctrine for “Christians” who believe they must use evil to bring about good. It justifies lying, murder, fraud and all other criminal acts without the fuss of having to deal with guilt feelings or to feel remorse for the lives lost through executions, military actions, or assassinations. ..."

"...SNIP..Leo Strauss was born in 1899 and died in 1973. ... He is most famous for resuscitating Machiavelli and introducing his principles as the guiding philosophy of the neo-conservative movement. ... More than any other man, Strauss breathed upon conservatism, inspiring it to rise from its atrophied condition and its natural dislike of change and to embrace an unbounded new political ideology that rides on the back of a revolutionary steed, hailing even radical change; hence the name Neo-Conservatives.

Significantly, Dominionism is a form of Social Darwinism.<48> It inherently includes the religious belief that wealth-power is a sign of God’s election. That is, out of the masses of people and the multitude of nations, wealth, in and of itself, is thought to indicate God’s approval on men and nations whereas poverty and sickness reflect God’s disapproval.

(It was not until I read this article that I realized that this is a fundamental tenet of Dominionists.

Worldly wealth and power are signs of God's favor -- to attempt to limit or decrease one's wealth and power is to disrespect God.

On the contrary, God's elect on Earth are called upon to increase their wealth and power.

It is not sufficient for a man to be a millionaire, or for a country to have sovereignty within its borders -- a man must strive to increase his wealth as much as possible, and a Dominionist government's behavior toward its neighbors must be "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity".

Furthermore, any attempt to decrease a person's or a country's wealth and power -- to take from the rich to give to the poor, to reduce military spending and power -- is a direct attack on God.)

If “Secular Humanists are the greatest threat to Christianity the world has ever known,” as theologian Francis Schaeffer claimed, then who are the Humanists? According to Dominionists, humanists are the folks who allow or encourage licentious behavior in America. They are the undisciplined revelers.

Put all the enemies of the Dominionists together, boil them down to liquid and bake them into the one single most highly derided and contaminated individual known to man, and you will have before you an image of the quintessential “liberal” -- one of those folks who wants to give liberally to the poor and needy -- who desires the welfare and happiness of all Americans -- who insists on safety regulations for your protection and who desires the preservation of your values -- those damnable people are the folks that must be reduced to powerlessness -- or worse: extinction. .SNIP.."

snip"..."Christian Reconstructionism calls for a system that is both radically decentralized, with most government functions devolved to the county level, and socially totalitarian (this strikes me as an odd phrase; and Google, too, apparently. I suppose it is meant to say that social standards/"morality" will, in contrast with the government functions just mentioned, be centralized/centrally dictated and not be left to local preferrence.) It calls for the death penalty for homosexuals, abortion doctors and women guilty of "unchastity before marriage," among other moral crimes. To be fair, Phillips told me that 'just because a crime is capital doesn't mean you must impose the death penalty. It means it's an option.' Public humiliation, he said, could sometimes be used instead.

snip.."Women would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality.' ..snip:wow:


Sarah is a Dominionist.. McSame will drop out in oct and fellow Dominionist 'The Huckster" will become her VP

6. These writings throw some very good light onto the Dominionists

and how they think. They are far more sinister than the general public believes them to be.


Note: I don't agree that McCain will drop out, elevating Palin to the Presidential candidacy. But, even if that happened,such a ticket would not succeed. The Dominionist plus general "fundies" are powerful but not powerful enough to elect a totally Theocratic ticket.

2. The Republicult party.

Criminals and fools.

4. Where's Jim Jones when we need him?

5. I'm an undisciplined reveler! Yee Haaw!

8. so much like the Talaban.. executing children for enjoying flying a kite.. no difference

7. Don't have time to read it all, but I agree regardless! :^) It's a psycho cult.

[Two Americas]

9. are they all the same?

The wealthy and powerful people whose interests are represented by the Republican party, the neo-cons, the Chicago school economists, the traditionsal conservatives, the Dominionists, the Christians who are not Dominionists, both the leaders and the flock, the 50 million people who vote Republican...

All the same? Seen one, seen 'em all?

One big cult?

What kind of people would look at politics that way? As though broad masses of the American public are all evil agents of darkness, and all our enemies, all part of the same conspiracy?

Be careful you don't become that which you fight against. The right wingers are much better at this game, and they will always win it.
