Shaping politics from the pulpits

[NeoConsSuck]

CANTON, Ohio — Pastor Russell Johnson paces across the broad stage as he decries the "secular jihadists" who have "hijacked" America, accuses the public schools of neglecting to teach that Hitler was "an avid evolutionist" and links abortion to children who murder their parents.

"It's time for the church to get a spinal column" and push the "seculars and the jihadists ... into the dust bin of history," the guest preacher tells a congregation that fills the sanctuary at First Christian Church of Canton.

That is his mission. Johnson leads the Ohio Restoration Project, an emergent network of nearly 1,000 "Patriot Pastors" from conservative churches across the state. Each has pledged to register 300 "values voters," adding hundreds of thousands of like-minded citizens to the electorate who "would be salt and light for America."

And, perhaps, help elect a fellow Christian conservative, Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, as governor next year. That has alarmed some establishment Republicans who back rival contenders and warn that an assertive Christian right campaign could repel moderate voters the party needs.

1. teach that Hitler was "an avid evolutionist"

9 out of 10 Bishops agree... Hitler is just alright with me....

[blm]

7. Hitler was an avid CORPORATIST - just like the GOP agenda.

Corporatism is another name for FASCISM, you dumbasses.

2. This is an interesting concept.

"links abortion to children who murder their parents."
If you abort them, they cannot kill you.

3. Push seculars into the dust bin of history?

Good move. Although I suspect that's just a start, isn't it? I mean next is all the other non-Christians, then the Christians who don't belong to your particular sect, than Christians who belong to your sect but disagree with you. I don't know, that's a lot of people going into the dustbin of history.

Might be easier to just, you know, put you there, and leave the rest of us alone.

10. So secularists are lumped in with jihadists?

I believe they are closer to jihadists than any "secularist" will ever be. There is a sickeness in this country. Once violence begins against people, all hate radio stations should be sued.
