"I have said for years and years, the Christian Right is really seeking to establish a theocracy in the United States — at least regionally, throughout the deep south. And this latest effort by the “Council for National Policy” lays further proof to that claim. This is an effort which — in spite of what many Christian leaders say — is NOT supported by the Constitution. The Constitution strictly prohibits the establishment of Religion, as part of the First Amendment, which also guarantees Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. The purpose of this “Separation of Church and State” is intended to do two things:

1. It protects religious freedom for everyone.
2. It prevents the tyranny of any one religion."

K & R if you agree!

1. I so agree. We need a high profile member of the Democratic Party to roll this out

And do not focus on Abortion, although do not shy from it, especially since there are republicans in Congress who support jail for women who have an abortion.

But they are against birth control, same sex marriage and even legal rights.

This is a great example of when they go low, kick them in the face. Make it shameful to be associated with the right wing evangelical movement.

[Dawson Leery]

2. It is equally immoral to be an Evangelical OR a Jihadist.

[GulfCoast66]

4. The perfect person to roll this out is Kaine

A Christian. Catholic even. No one doubts his sincerity.

He is personally against Abortion but strongly pro-choice in a legal sense.

This is a route to destroying the entire right wing of the right wing party.

Look how fast opinion changed on same sex marriage.

[SamKnause]

3. K&R

I have been saying this for quite some time.

If you are a political junkie, like me, it is impossible to miss.

Their goal is to turn the U.S. into a Christian Theocracy (The Prosperity Gospel) run by global corporations.

They are the greatest threat this country faces.

We must see them for what they are, the enemy.

5. Way ahead of you...

But I prefer the term 'Talibornagain'......

[calimary]

14. That is a good one.

One of my favorites from at least two presidents ago.

I also like “Christianists.” But “Talibornagains” is much better.

[thbobby]

6. Haters and extremists

Using religion as a cover. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. K&R........

Evangelicals oppose Abortion, Marriage Equality , Contraception, etc., based on Bibe rather than take a Constitutional position. They hate most of the Constitution save for the 1st and 2nd Amendments.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. din ding ding ding. yes. the moral majiority is either and neither.

they never have , nor they never will have my support as a christian.

[physioex]

9. Christianity...

Should be a personal experience at either home and church. It has no place in education or public policy. Curious, what are you thoughts on teaching evolution in schools??

[Stonepounder]

15. About the same as teaching

the Theory of Gravity
the Theory of Relativity
the Pythagorean theorem
...and so on

Christianity is a religion not a theory.

[world wide wally]

10. And the amber asshole is their Bin Laden

[stopbush]

11. We could solve this in a heartbeat by uttering two little words to the Xians:

“Prove it.”

Prove that your religious fantasies have a basis in fact. Until then, government policies should no more be based on the Buybull than on a cartoon.

[Thekaspervote]

12. Oh.. the EVILGELICALS??!!

I have posted this in several replies here, until somebody says stop, well I'm going to keep saying it!

[arthritisR_US]

13. Hypocrites, thats what they are and the truth behind the

fallacy of religion.

[courtjester]

16. Website

You might want to check out a website called "Theocracy Watch". It has been following the take over of the republican party by the religious right for several years and has some very good information.

[longship]

18. Well, you could provide a link.

Like this:
Theocracy Watch

It's easy.

My best to you.

[Initech]

17. I've been calling them that since the Bush administration.

It's time to start calling them what they really are; the enemies of freedom.

[TarponSnook]

19. They Evilangelicals are going for our children by indoctrination

they are trying to impose their views on our educational system! This is a serious threat to our freedom of speech and the suppression of intelligent discourse among youth by instilling fear and hatred.
