55. I have no reason to think they wouldn't. This dominionist stuff is utterly

repugnant, a total rejection of democratic governing, and they should be so disgusted that they will go nowhere near any of these Family 'functions.' Yet, there they are. Would we think it was okay if they had a yearly prayer meeting with the Grand Wizard of the KKK and his followers just because it was a DC 'tradition'? These dominionists are WORSE than the KKK.

Nothing ever stopped either of them from starting their own prayer meetings with any of a number of mainstream/liberal church organizations like the Interfaith Alliance, National Council of Churches, etc. It would be an easy matter to start a new tradition in DC, giving govt members who feel they have to somehow prove they are religious someplace to do a yearly prayer meeting without having to kowtow to those evil dominionist bastards. Hell, Obama could wave his fucking hand and a bunch of liberal bishops would start up the new tradition today. But no. They continue to bow to the Family. It tells me a lot. Doesn't it tell you a lot?

A movement that is getting too little attention dixiegrrrrl Oct 2013 #1
