Our bad economy is because of abortion and same-sex marriage...
So says this asshole...

WASHINGTON -- In the wake of James Dobson retiring from Focus on the Family, leaving a possible vacuum of power in evangelical leadership, Dr. Gary Dull and other Christian leaders are forming The Faith and Freedom Institute to combat "satanic wickedness" in order to return America to a foundation of Biblical principles.

"America was founded with a spiritual basis, but there are those who want to make it a purely secular nation," Dull said near Capitol Hill Thursday. "Because of the rejection of God and His values, we can expect nothing but His judgment. All one needs to do is to read in history and find out how that when a nation forgot God, God forgot the nation."

That is where Dull says the Faith and Forum Institute plans to step in. According to Dull, the Institute "is being formed to lead America back to the knowledge of God in order to save the nation from the judgment of God."

"Without a doubt, we believe that there is a definite agenda to destroy America that is being empowered by satanic wickedness and enhanced by Godless citizens," Dull said. "The Faith and Freedom Institute desires to put those who have an adverse vision for America on notice that we will not lie down and allow them to overtake us and our heritage, but that we will intend to stand up and fight for those rights given to us by God Himself and proclaimed by many who committed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to make America work."

As a result, Dull blamed things like economic failure and moral decline to abortion and same-sex marriages on an idea that "God is being forgotten."

3. Right, it couldn't possibly be from class warfare combined
with outright theft, could it?

I guess they think anybody who's gullible enough to buy their brand of religion is a big enough sap to buy this kind of horseshit.

4. Oh yes. Feminists and homosexuals totally run the banking system and Wall Street
It's a shame really. Opportunistic straight men don't have a chance in the finance sector. :rofl:

5. Reminds me of a line from a Paul Newman movie WUSA
Edited on Fri Mar-06-09 04:56 PM by county worker
Rheinhardt: Fellow Americans. Fellow Americans. Let us consider the American way. The American way... is innocence. In each and every situation we must display an innocence that is so vast and awesome that the entire world is reduced by it. When our boys drop a napalm bomb on a cluster of gibbering slants...

10. You can't -- they're forgotten. Totally erased from history.
So you'll just have to trust Dobson on that. ;-)

12. Yeah, tax all that pot and use the revenues to stimulate the economy.
And the wafting pot smoke won't hurt in that regard, either.
