Is the Republican Party just a DEATH CULT?

[Stephanie]

All I have heard this week is

DEATH DEATH DEATH

KILL KILL KILL

TERROR TERROR TERROR

The Reagan necrophilia, the 9/11 exploitation, the war-mongering, the fear-stoking. Who ARE these people?

1. Very similar to the Nazi/SS

The mob reaction last night was reminiscent of Hitler's rallies.

[BlueEyedSon]

2. And no health insurance or retirement security.....

HEY CAN I HAVE ALL YOUR STUFF WHEN THE RAPTURE COMES?

[Generator]

3. Damn if it ain't a classic duel between dark and light

Cheney is darth Vader and Edwards is the sunshine boy.

Man, whose country do you want to live in? Imagine being undecided about THAT.

What's really scary is that many of them are sincere in their fear. It's all that motivates them. They haven't figured out something basic, which is everyone dies, and the quality of life you lead, the joy and the love, the compassion and the hope are what matter.

4. The love to hate, too.

Angry and afraid makes it easy to hate.
From there, it's a short jump to kill (for survival!).
That sounds absolutely unenlightened and un-Christian.

8. Unfortunately, it IS a particular brand of Christian......

End Times Christian IS a 'death cult". When Israel has control of the whole Holy Land, Jesus is coming back to deal with everything...ONCE AND FOR ALL. Pretty freaky stuff.

13. The Christian Reconstruction movement wants to be a player in Chimpageddon

Some of these kooks have real power. Howard Ahmanson owns ES&S, a company that sells electronic voting machines. Even without a kangaroo Supreme Court, a Bush win would be no miracle.

From Genesis To Dominion

Reconstructionists believe conservative Christians should take "dominion" over American society. by Steve Benen
Anti-evolution crusader Phillip Johnson, dedicated his 1997 book, Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds, to "Roberta and Howard, who understood 'the wedge' because they love the Truth."

The mysterious reference is apparently a note of thanks to Howard F. Ahmanson Jr. and his wife Roberta, a wealthy and secretive Orange County, Calif., couple who have generously funded the anti-evolution movement and other right-wing causes that advance their fundamentalist Christian outlook.

Howard Ahmanson, however, is no ordinary fat-cat. The savings and loan heir has maintained a long-time relationship with Christian Reconstructionism, an extreme faction of the Religious Right that seeks to replace American democracy with a harsh fundamentalist theocracy.

Reconstructionists believe conservative Christians should take "dominion" over American society. Under their version of "biblical law," the death penalty would be required for over a dozen categories of offenders, including adulterers, homosexuals, witches, incorrigible children and those who spread "false" religions. They regard the teaching of evolution as part of a "war against Genesis."

Lots of names and background on some seriously insane folk. These people are also very dangerous to Democracy. I sound hypocritical for saying it, but they don't seem to act Christian in the way I was brought up: "Believe in God. Treat others like you would like to be treated."

14. Sad

but true.

And God told His children, "I love you. Play nice"

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

9. I don't "except" to change YOUR opinion

I am watching the CONVENTION.

What are you watching?

p.s. - Don't TELL me what to do.

10. the poster wasn't telling you what to do.

he/she was asking a question.
Are you being defensive?
I can understand it since you're responding to someone with 6 posts which is often a warning flag, but just the same I don't think the poster was telling you what to do.

(edit-- well since they got deleted maybe there's more going on with that 6 post thing than I realized)

12. Are the mods on 12-hour shifts like the NYC cops?

They are smiting them like FLIES.

Thanks MODS!
