Christian nationalist imagery that's linked to violenceA recent speech by Rep. Lauren Boebert during which she invoked the end times and said it's time for Christians to "rise up" demonstrated how Christian nationalist ideals, including some associated with violence, have made it to the halls of Congress.
"It's time for us to position ourselves and rise up and take our place in Christ and influence this nation as we were called to do," the Colorado Republican told the crowd at a Christian conference held by the Truth and Liberty Coalition in Woodland Park, Colorado, on September 9.
"We need God back at the center of our country," she added.
Boebert heavily quoted scripture in her speech. She framed the formation of the US as divinely inspired and described the founding fathers as men of faith who were motivated by God contentions that have been challenged by historians.

If you want to die so badly go ahead and kill yourself. Oh and who would Jesus flash his penis at?

(68,552 posts)all are in that we will all die someday. Every generation believed they lived in the last days. But the Bible clearly states (if these idiots ever read it) that no one knows when it will happen. What she wants is Christian Fascism which has been done before and is always unsuccessful and will be even less successful now as many are not religious these days.

(32,079 posts)Seems she was preaching about the End Times at one point, as well. I'm skeptical of Bobo's new-found religion. It's just her latest grift. She got elected as a big gun-humper, who a lot of the male gun-humpers think is "hot." But, after Uvalde, Highland Park, and other gun massacres, her gun ship has sailed. Her only hope is to ingratiate herself to all the religious nuts.
