FREAK NUTCASE TO RUN FOR STATE SENATE IN FLORIDA

Randall Terry has decided that he is going to run for a state Senate seat in Florida. You remember Randall Terry, don't you? He was the principal spokesman for the Schindler family during the Terri Schiavo debacle a few months ago. He is perhaps better known as a rabid opponent of a woman's right to chose. The man wants to execute doctors who perform abortions. That's right ... execute. Do you want an idea of what Randall Terry would be like with a little government power? Well .. how about this quote in a speech to the U.S. Taxpayers Alliance in May of 2000: "When I or people like me are running the country, you'd better flee because we will find you, we will try you and we'll execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that you are tried and executed." Who was he talking to? Doctors who perform abortions. Now isn't this just the type of man we want serving in political office?

Randall Terry has openly called for a theocracy in the United States; a Christian Theocracy. You want a quote? Sure! I have one. Here's Randall Terry addressing some of his followers: "I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good ... if a Christian voted for Clinton, he sinned against God. It's that simple. Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by god to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism. Theocracy means God rules. I've got a hot flash. God rules."

Frederick Clarkson wrote a book entitled "Eternal Hostility: The Struggle Between Theocracy and Democracy." In that book Clarkson says "If Randall Terry's vision of Christian theocracy gains traction, we will see increasing vigilante interference in the private lives of private citizens, not unlike the religious police in Saudi Arabia. We will see rising religious bigotry against people of other faiths, conflict with those whose idea of Christianity differs from Randall Terry and his theocratic allies, and relentless efforts to damage the constitutional protections of equal rights under the law gained by women and gays and lesbians, among others."

Terry will run for the seat of Senator Jim King. King voted against a bill that would have prevented the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube. The district runs from Jacksonville to northern Volusia County. Terry lives in Ponte Vedra. Looks like we're going to see what kind of neighbors he has.

We control the horizontal... We control the vertical... WOOO OOOOH WOOOOOO....

I'm guessing Neal and Randall don't exchange Yuletide greetings and good cheer.

Just a guess,

I'm coming back to read comments on this one later...should be interesting.

"if a Christian voted for Clinton, he sinned against God."

Well, maybe if they voted to re-elect Clinton. :)

Indeed.

(Oh, and the policy of using the original headline unaltered wasn't my idea, so don't bother flaming me for that.)

The only freak nutcase is the raving lunatic who wrote that piece.

"When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we will execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they are tried and executed... If we're going to have true reformation in America, it is because men once again, if I may use a worn out expression, have righteous testoserone flowing through their veins. They are not afraid of contempt for their contemporaries. They are not even here to get along. They are here to take over... Somebody like Susan Smith should be dead. She should be dead now. Some people will go, "Well how do you know God doesn't have a wonderful plan for her life?" He does, it's listed in the Bible. His plan for her is that she should be dead."

"Intolerance is a beautiful thing...There are people that are politically correct that want to say the cardinal sin of the hour is intolerance and I think that is a bunch of junk."

"What it is coming down to is who runs the country. It's us against them. It's the good guys versus the bad guys. It's the God-fearing people against the pagans, and some of the pagans are going to church."

Even kooks can run if they otherwise meet the qualifications in law.

How else do you explain most of Congress?

I thought this was going to be about Jimmy Buffett........

It will be hard to tell him apart from the others... ;)

Me too.

[kittymyrib]

Neal is more afraid of Christians than he is of Muslims. Strange....

Alcohol?

[Junior]

No. Terry is a raving looney. He openly advocates killing folks who do not believe as he does. Simply read the quotes Peach put up in the post below yours.

[Dawgreg]

Well, Terry would fit right in in Flori-duh wouldn't he?

[MonroeDNA]

Randall is a nutcase, along with his followers.

[GodfearingTexan]

I find no evidence of freak nutcase -ness.

[texgal]

"if a Christian voted for Clinton, he sinned against God."

I wonder if Mr. Terry has really read the good book and what it says about adultery. He abandoned his wife and children to run off with a woman he is now married to - kinda like good ol' Michael Schiavo. I'm not defending Michael Schiavo by any means but Terry's villification of him for not honoring his marital vows seemed to me rather like the pot calling the kettle black. I would not vote for him on a bet.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Neal the Boor is a self absorbed jerk.

Yes, it should be very entertaining! As a resident of Duval County, Fl., I can't imagine he'll get many votes. Certainly not mine. It'll be a fun race to watch though!
