They Cast Out Demons & Burn "Witchcraft Items," and They're Taking Over Entire States

[Joanne98]

They claim to be able to raise the dead and cause miracles, such as the multiplication of Thanksgiving turkey dinners. They burn "witchcraft items" and "idols." They hold mass exorcisms to cast out alleged evil spirits they say cause lust, pornography, addiction, homosexuality, bisexuality, and perversion. They claim to be able to heal HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C, Glaucoma, and cancer, and to break "generational curses" and "witchcraft curses." Who are they? Here are a few overviews (1, 2, 3.)

They compare opponents of their movement to rats that will be exterminated and one of their leaders has predicted that the regime they're working to create will initially "seem like totalitarianism". They're closely tied to the notorious, so-called "kill the gays bill" before Uganda's Parliament. They're behind Sarah Palin and one of their "prophets" has become the de-facto prayer leader for the Republican Party.

While America has fixated on the Tea Party movement, a radical, right-wing charismatic evangelical movement is burrowing into the power structures of major American cities, such as Newark, NJ <1, 2>, and even entire states, such as Alaska and Hawaii.

In Hawaii, they claim to be fielding both a Republican and Democratic candidate in the 2010 race for the governor's seat. Both candidates are staunchly opposed to gay marriage and same-sex civil unions as well as legalized abortion, and both can frequently be found onstage together at movement conferences.

1. Not to mention the US military...

Etc...

Of course the DOJ doesn't find the evidence to be credible:

Hey, but that's nothing. When Sarah Palin becomes president, you'll be jailed for not being a fundy in or out of the military. And don't get her started on the gays, whom she loves and therefore in intent upon saving from themselves.

2. I've often thought many in this county will one day have to seek asylum in other

countries. I don't view this as a stable country because too many citizens are ignorant, clueless, and/or have their heads in the sand or their butts. They think someone else is doing the job of keeping what rights and freedoms we have left.

3. Indeed, Ma'am: These Christer Fascists Are Very, Very Dangerous

4. K&R - They don't need to win the presidency to do damage. Just look at the hate Palin stirred up

during the campaign and ever since and the damage that has caused. Imagine what they can do when apathy lets groups like these take over even a segment of our government as with the Texas school board. Many of them have been voted out now but the damage has been done and their standards are the state's standards for the next 10 years!

5. Does anyone believe this scourge can or will be turned back without violence?

I don't.

I don't think the whackos will allow it. They will continue to up the ante until sane people have to choose between becoming one of them or physically resisting with whatever it takes.

I wish I thought otherwise, but I don't think that's realistic
