Republicans Love Religious Cults
It struck me that daddy Bush, doing the intro for Mitt's "faith" speech, has also shilled for various projects for Rev. Sun Myung Moon - who proclaims himself Jesus' half brother and is going to rule the world some day.

Cult members are obedient, don't question authority, don't mind working for nothing to make their leaders more wealthy, and don't allow themselves to engage in critical thinking or have individual opinions that would displease their leaders.

Is it any wonder why Republicans love cults and hate "secularists?"

The state with the largest BushCo approval ratings is Utah. Just sayin'.

5. The BillO type attacks on "secularism" are really just attacks on
RATIONAL THINKING! Their worst enemy.

2. They love that business model. Economics based on belief systems.
"Salvation" for sale. This is why they are blashpeming idolators.

3. Check out Moons anti-Clinton tirade to his followers:
Serious sick shit....love the question and answer format with "True Father" and the Republican Moonies!

Are you really truly American citizens? (Yes.) Do you really love your President? (No.) (Laughter.) This is not a laughing matter. If you are given a choice to love Reverend Moon or President Clinton, whom do you have to love first? (Father.) You say that because you are Unification Church members. (Laughter.) Thinking people in the society also consider Reverend Moon more valuable than President Clinton. Isn't the Washington Times becoming more famous every day? The Washington Times exercised its power properly by chasing seventy congressmen who were involved in immoral behavior and causing them to step down. At this time the Washington Times is digging into President Clinton's past, mistakes that have been covered up. When American people in general look at the situation, do they think that Reverend Moon is doing too much or would they encourage Father to go ahead and find out the truth? They all know that Reverend Moon is not an American citizen so, in a way, you should feel that a non-American is here, digging into these bad situations and coming up with the truth. There is no other choice because right now there is nobody else who is righteous enough or brave enough to do this except Father. What do you gain by opposing and judging your President? You may find yourself in all kinds of life threatening situations by doing so. Reverend Moon is labeled as a person who goes up against anyone who is unrighteous, so the entire population of 240 million American people have been judged at one time or another by Father. Therefore, even if he goes against President Clinton, they consider that normal behavior for Father. Father has the label that even though he is Korean, he is here to save the entire world.

Satan can only reach up to the national level. When it comes to the world level, only God is able to subjugate it. Once we go beyond the national level then Satan has nothing more to do with our lives. Look at the reality of the world, the gigantic nation of America is being manipulated by Kim Il Sung. President Clinton doesn't know what to do and the Washington Times is giving him such a strong blow that it may knock him down. Who is doing it? Who opposed President Carter? This man standing here on the stage. (Laughter.) Clinton is exactly like the brother of Jimmy Carter. How can we protect the nation and world from their political action? America doesn't have that power. We are the ones who must know in what direction the world should go.
