"Christian nation" swill already bubbling up at RNC

[KamaAina]

Cripes, the repukes have barely been in NYC long enough to get mugged :-) and already they're starting in with the "this is a Christian nation" crap.

But the Big Apple love-in doesn't last all that long. No one denounces the city, of course, but the disconnect between the majority of New Yorkers and the majority of Republicans comes across during the succession of speeches by GOP congressional candidates. In the most Jewish city in America, Mississippi candidate Clinton Lesuer strays from President Bush's carefully inclusive religious rhetoric. Instead of making the nonsectarian statement in his prepared text—"The very foundation of this country is faith"—Lesuer says, "The very foundation of this country is Christianity and faith in Jesus Christ."

Really? Anyone care to inform Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, or for that matter, George Washington about this?

It's morans like Lesuer that set my teeth on edge whenever Christianity comes up in public. I try so hard not to be "one of those DUers who has a problem with religion" -- but when something like this comes up, all i can think of is Lesuer and his legions chasing me down with their crosses (probably burning ones, come to think of it) and trying to convert me.

We had better win in November, or he'll get his chance.

1. Anti-Christ Neo Fascists

These folk need to be countered by Christians that can debate with them about what Jesus said and stood for. The non-Neo Fascist Christians need to speak out.

2. Next thing you know we'll have Falwell and Rev. Moon on our currency

3. Clinton LeSuer is the rethug nominee in my district

No way can he possibly win-he's running against a black entrenched incumbent in a 60% majority black district in the Mississippi delta. This is the first, and last, you will see of Clinton LeSuer.

4. Then why would they give him a speaking slot at the RNC?!

That would be roughly like the Dems giving a slot to our old acquaintance Jeff Seemann, except that:

a) Jeff has a better chance to win, and,

b) Jeff isn't a neo-Nazi sack o' shite.

What were they thinking? Especially when they dredged up the last few remaining moderate repukes for the prime-time slots...

5. Its gonna happen

These fruitcakes are not capable of holding their calls of Culture war, with theocratic visions, and dreams of right wing oligarchy for so long.

The wheels began to come off their little red wagon last night...a few more zeals of zealotry should seal the deal that this party is out of touch and is nothing but a bunch of christian-fascists.
