Roy Moore Loses Support Of Christian Talk Show Host
A Christian talk show host from Mobile who sued to reinstate Roy Moore after he was ousted as Alabama's chief justice has decided not to support Moore's run for governor.

Kelly McGinley says that some of Moore's prominent supporters are "dominionists" who wish to bring about a government based on Old Testament law, which would administer the death penalty for offenses ranging from homosexuality to talking back to your parents.

*snip*

She links Moore, the Republican Party, the Council for National Policy, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Masons in a conspiratorial web.

"It is too extreme for the likes of me," McGinley said. "It is pretty interesting that our primary is on 6/6/06."

McGinley said she is a Christian but doesn't want to see a theocracy and believes violence is contrary to Christian teaching.

2. she's just a talk show host, I think
And she has seemed pretty loopy in the past. But she sounds downright rational here, even considering the antichrist and Freemasons stuff. If every registered voter voted, Moore wouldn't stand a chance.

4. you know, that is my impression too
That's the main reason I found the article so interesting. I hesitated posting the thing because that woman has had a reputation as a right-wing extremist herself. But maybe she is doing the Lord's work after all. :)
