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.

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?

Just curious brain,

Do you put as much thought and work into your own elections and government?

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.
