Dominionist Domination: The Left runs with a wild theory.

Rush was talking about this, and I had to laugh.

But then I realized that these guys really believe that Christianity is evil and a threat, and are willing to "dispose of the pathetic rules of democracy" to remove us "threats".

Funny yes, but we are laughing at the seeds of the next Persecution.

[Bahbah]

but we are laughing at the seeds of the next Persecution.

Actually, I'm not laughing.

[redgolum]

In truth, I am only because it is my nature to.

Christians may have to go back to the catacombs soon.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

Looks like Stan the man Kurtz never lets a little thing like the truth get in the way of his argument. He's also a lousy student of history.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Wow. Very scary article with lunatic rhetoric -- "pure, unmitigated evil."

They actually are denouncing "Dominionists" as enemies of the state.

I guess Christ continues to be a marked man.

The most disturbing part of the Harper’s cover story (the one by Chris Hedges) was the attempt to link Christian conservatives with Hitler and fascism.

Would that be the same NYT war correspondent Chris Hedges that was told to STFU when he started ranting and raving anti-war/anti-US rhetoric at a college commencement several years ago?

[randog]

These people read much too much Margaret Attwood.

She wrote 'The Handmaid's Tale', didn't she? It was required reading at the college I went to. Talk about a moonbat!

[redgolum]

I kind of like Hanmaid's Tale, but only because I like disuption novels.

Where do I sign up?

O.K., it’s me again. I’m back from the fever swamps of the Left, which I’ve been exploring ever since I discovered a wild conspiracy theory about conservative Christians in the latest cover story of Harper’s Magazine. You want political paranoia? You want guilt by association? You want flat-out looniness?

Butt sex must cause some kind of build-up of waste to collect in the brain - fogging, muddling, and distorting thinking. They're not only starting to believe these bizarre, deranged, paranoid fantasies, but they are starting to act out based on them. Paranoid victim fantasies can lead to serious emotional imbalance and odd behavior.

I'm sure younger people on this forum had no idea of the amount of anti-Catholic hysteria generated by the candidacy of JFK. I had a non-Catholic neighbor lady ask me if my parents had to vote for Kennedy because we were Catholics. I was only ten at the time, but I looked at her like she had lost all her marbles. I managed to reply that I'm pretty sure we didn't. In fact we had one Catholic neighbor who was a strong Republican.

JFK's candidacy was never mentioned or advocated in Sunday sermons by the parish pastor or in the Catholic paper we received weekly. I remember that Kennedy had to meet with a group of Protestant ministers before the election to assure them that he was not a stooge of the Pope as many of the nuttier, anti-Catholic conspiratorialists like Dr. Norman Vincent Peale claimed.

I place my vote for Ann Coulter as the Dominatrix of the Dominionists (obligatory AC photo must be inserted later in thread).

[Soul Seeker]

I admit to laughing at this piece.

What else is there to do, become hostage to fear?

None of this is news to me. I knew what would happen with increased Christian presence in the political scene. There has been a stealth persecution waged against Christians for years. Once we fight back, are we to be exempt of the violence that has be practiced against prominent conservatives that have had pies thrown in their faces or Republican headquarters broken into? Shots fired? If anything the venom against Christians will be multiplied. The hatred is pure. Deep. Irrational and yet understandable. It is rooted in Fear at its core.

The only piece of the puzzle I admit to having not connected was that they needed an excuse to jail, marginalize or even commit Murder against people of Faith. That I hadn't considered, though in retrospect it makes sense. It wasn't until the German people saw Jews as a threat to their existance that they could sanction barbarism. Very few people are so sadistic they have no need of an "excuse" to commit evil.

I suppose in a larger sense this explains why the Democrats resort to calling Republicans racist homophobes. Nazi's. Etc. I wonder if they would be able to do some of what they have sanctioned if they hadn't first subscribed to the demonized labels attributed to Republicans/Conservatives/Christians.

The Lefties have really gone down into the fever swamps. The rage and hate is of a pitch I've never seen. You think it couldn't get any worse and then fruitcake rantings like a fascist Christian takeover emerges in what passes for the Leftist mainstream shows these people have really lost grip on reality. They're nuttier than the ol' John Birchers ever were. At least there was a basis for a world-wide Communist conspiracy. There is none for the notion of a Christian Dominionist conspiracy.

Alright... Let's stoke this fabrication up to the max!!! Everybody knows the Lord hath given us dominion over all nature, including all mankind!!! "We are the world... We are the country... We own the Earth and all that in them is!!!" (/secretive sourchasm)

[SierraWasp]

"Butt sex must cause some kind of build-up of waste to collect in the brain"

Yeah! Johnny Carson used to call it "Shifferbranes Syndrome!"

[A.J.Armitage]

Leo Strauss invented supralapsarianism to turn Pentecostals into assassins! Papisyngist infraturblic monks associated with Opus Dei who live under the White House are manipulating the evil chimp Bushitler!
