Brain -> Sharron Angle, The Constitution Party, And The New Religious Right (6/20/2010 8:33:02 PM)
FTA: It was not until the 1950’s, 176 years after the founding of the country, and during the frenetic ‘Red Scare’ days of McCarthyism, that Christian Fundamentalists were able to infuse their doctrine into the politics of a frightened and bewildered nation. It was during this time of fear-mongering about communist insurgents (like the fear-mongering about terrorists, socialists, communists etc. today), and of ideological purity tests (like the litmus tests we see among the Tea Party, Constitution Party, and conservatives today) that the religious right began to gain its foothold in American Society, battling against social progress and equal rights. The voice of conservative Independents, Republicans and Libertarians has been stolen. Political ideology has been infused with fundamentalist religious theology with the hope of gaining additional votes. The result has been internal division, further loss of credibility, and the abdication of responsible political discourse. The productive and necessary views and desires of non-religious libertarians and conservatives have been silenced in favor of the media friendly, accidentally-comic hyperbole of the entertainingly ridiculous rhetoric of Angle, Palin, Paul, Beck, et al. Sharron Angle, The Constitution Party, And The New Religious Right \| NEWS JUNKIE POST 0Sharron Angle, Republican nominee for U.S. Senate from Nevada was a member of the Independent American Party, the Nevada affiliate of the Constitution Party, for six years, 1992 through 1998, before becoming a Republican in order to increase her chance of getting elected to office. If the Constitution Party sounds familiar, perhaps it's because, during the 2008 presidential campaign, Todd Palin was revealed to have belonged, for seven years, to the Alaska Independence Party; Alaska’s Constitution Party affiliate. http://newsjunkiepost.com/2010/06/20/sharron-angle-the-constitution-party-and-the-new-religious-right/ [image]local://upfiles/392475/4663AB12D4F546FE90CDF13A18A39E3D.jpg[/image]

The Constitution Party is run a christian reconstructionist party.

As long as this 'party' doesn't get elected, the US will have a chance

If it weren't for the Constitution party, the republican party wouldn't even bother pretending like they are listening to life long republicans. In fact, the reason republicans lost seats in Congress and the Presidential election was because Bush and McCain weren't listening to the American people. It wasn't because all of a sudden the whole country turned liberal. In fact, every poll I've ever seen indicates that only about 20% of the population really consider themselves liberal. I for one love the Constitution party simply because they have the balls to enforce our Immigration laws, and keep this nation a predominantly Christian, English speaking nation. It has nothing to do with the color of your skin. Half the republicans are still giving lip service to their conservative base, and that is why McCain lost the election, that and the Arabs ran up the gas prices a year or two before the election to help send the economy into a tailspin. For the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would not want to continue living in an English speaking, predominantly Christian nation. Remember, Muslims like to cut your head off if you don't believe the way they do, and I believe they make you stop your car in traffic and pray to Mecca 5 times a day. Is that what you really want??? http://babelishere.webs.com

I don’t mind if you want to keep America a Christian nation and fine if you want to secure the boarder but I don’t believe the word of the bible should prevail over the constitution – look at that picture with the bible and the cross over the flag, it’s not a coincidence they took the picture that way. And you support are ok with, “Obama messaging may still be relied on for all the latest Obama/socialist/birther nonsense. “ And you think there is a fluoride conspiracy? “The Caucus works closely with the John Birch Society, a 1950’s Red Scare era anachronism, which is intent on protecting society from the evil fluoride conspiracy.” Most Muslims like most Christians are peaceful.

Um. "[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts." Jefferson Davis, President, Confederate States of America "The right of holding slaves is clearly established in the Holy Scriptures, both by precept and example." Rev. R. Furman, D.D., a Baptist pastor from South Carolina. And conversely: "...the campaign to end slavery in the United States was for many years largely the work of a small number of Christians who opposed slavery on explicitly religious grounds and who at the time were regularly condemned as fanatical zealots, bent (as indeed they were) on imposing their religiously based views regarding this particular issue on all those who disagreed."

You know though, it wouldnt be so bad if those who are so desperate to implement Christianity in these sorts of ways were in any way Christian themselves rather than abusers of the religion to support what amounts to a Fascist, (and in some instances - and oh so not so discreetly nazi), agenda. E

quote: so then would you prefer to live in a non english speaking muslim country where women who get raped are stoned to death? Actually, I would prefer to live in a country where women who get raped would not be forced to marry their rapist - a teaching of Rousas John Rushdoony, the "father" of the Christian Reconstructionist movement behind the former Taxpayer's Party, now re-named the Constitution Party. In his The Institutes of Biblical Law, Rushdoony wrote ""the heresy of democracy has since then worked havoc in church and state ... Christianity and democracy are inevitably enemies" and "democracy is the great love of the failures and cowards of life." He called for public stoning to death of guys, bisexuals, kinky straights (like everyone who has a profile on CollarMe), Jews, Muslims, Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Wiccans, atheists - anyone not a fundamentalist protestant Christian. Rushdoony called for returning all non-Caucasians to slavery as it was prior to the American Civil War, to include the children of mixed race marriages (the parents of mixed race children would be executed). Since the leaders of the Constitution Party are all believers in the teachings of Rushdoony, I, for one, would never support them for any elected office. Why should I vote someone into office who wants to have me stoned to death for being a Dominant?

Moonhead -> RE: Sharron Angle, The Constitution Party, And The New Religious Right (6/21/2010 2:53:28 PM)
Well, I suppose even marrying a rapist is seen as preferable to being stoned by their father by some people. It's very telling the twat's a member of the half of the human race that pisses standing up though, isn't it?

Fightdirecto -> RE: Sharron Angle, The Constitution Party, And The New Religious Right (6/21/2010 5:13:23 PM)
quote: Fight, I don't think that anyone wants any of that shit either. The concept of running Relgious Right Stealth candidates was clearly articulated by the Religious Right some years ago as a means of taking over control of local school boards. Now they're moving to higher levels like state legislatures and, they hope some day soon, the Congress and the White House. Most voters, sadly, hear a candidate say one thing they like (for example, "If elected, I promise that I will oppose all new taxes") - and ignore everything else the candidate supports. like the death penalty for practicising BDSM in your own home. Remember all the Italians who said about Il Duce, Benito Mussolini. "He can't be a bad man - he makes the trains run on schedule"? So, for the sake of having the trains run on schedule, they were willing to allow the Fascists to run their country.

No, I used to be heavily involved in the conservative party but these days I find Canadian politics boring. It's the same old, same old, stuff going on and I think it's very predictable. If I became involved in politics today I would be with the NDP or New Democratic Party. I like to think I'm objective notwithstanding some conservatives here finding my saying I'm objective amusing. quote: ORIGINAL: flcouple2009 Just curious brain, Do you put as much thought and work into your own elections and government?

Ahhhh....now it becomes clear. You were involved in CANADIAN conservative politics, where the only distinction between conservatives and liberals is what shade of red they come in. No wonder you think youre objective, your frame of reference has no inkling of what conservatism is all about.
