If You’re Against Tax Cuts For Corporations - Jesus Hates You!
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 05:24 PM by 20score
Small Town, Oklahoma – After Sarah Palin’s interview with Focus On The Family’s James Dobson, members of the RNC and the Religious Right realized, this is the time to act. “No more codes,” said Dobson. “We’re going to say what everyone already knows! If you disagree with me or the Republican Party, if you want billionaires to pay the same rate as they did in the nineties, you will be tortured forever in the lakes of fire - in Hell! Sarah knows this.”

Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition and the less well known, Insanity, Violence and Mayhem For Christ, was said be ecstatic about the decision to stop the sugar coating of their beliefs. “Jesus came to me and said, ‘If a person votes for Obama, I will pluck out their eyes, draw and quarter them and scatter their remains.’ … in Jesus’ name I pray.” He chuckled.

William Donahue from the Catholic League, on a panel with Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin, said he was also very much on board with the change. “I think those who want the government to help the poor or sick are going to hell!” He screamed. “And I want to fight Bill Maher. Now! – What do you think, Michelle?”

“No, I don't want to fight Bill Maher. Oh, the other thing. Yes, well, I think they’re going to hell for being anti-American, but they should also have trials,” said Ms. Bachman. “They should be tried and thrown in jail if they have the wrong ideas on taxes… or if they worship God wrong, that’s a big one.”

“Yes, trials,” Sarah chimed in. “Like the good old days in Salem – I think the Vice President is in charge of that. Right?”

1. a mans wealth is an indication that god favors him, it's a sin to tax the rich. >>Link>> she is
is obviously a Domionist..
http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2006/12/un_study_2...

this is why the ReThuglican Party Platform demands no taxes on the rich, only on the poor. Wealth is an indication of GOD's favor of a person, si it is a sis to tax rich people/corporations, because they are blessed by GOD. and it followers that the poor are condemned/punished because they lazy, welfare queens, liberal, queer, or criticize the methods the rich use to get rich.

",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"

3. Of course, if you look closely enough, you can find scripture passages that justify anything...
but in regards to possessions...

Read Luke 1: 52-53

"He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly;
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty."

How's about that, Palin?
Isn't that wealth re-distribution enough for ya?

5. You know what's scary - I can't tell if this is a hoax
It pales in comparison to some of the other insane stuff posted this week that was demonstrably true.

6. It's a hoax, but it's obvious this is how they feel.
Take the truth and extrapolate to ridiculousness.

If Jesus was a Jew then why does he have a Mexican name?

Just wondering?
