Blackwell’s Un-American Scheme:
The following article from the yurica report fits right in with the CNP stealth plan for turning America into a theocracy. Blackwell is spreading his word at churches all over the state through the 'Patriot Pastors' movement.
I'm *REALLY* worried about this.


Under the Guise of “Character and Civic Renewal”
Ohio State Foists a Religious Moral Code upon Its Citizens
<snip>

J. Kenneth Blackwell has stepped to the forefront of the American culture wars. Standing with his feet securely rooted in a form of Orwellian “Double-Think,” he has posted his official endorsement of a 20-point religious moral code claimed to be “a shared vocabulary of character-building ethics” on Ohio’s official Secretary of State web site. Blackwell wrote, “Character is the cornerstone of American citizenship. And good citizenship is the foundation of community. It is also the foundation of both good business and good government.” (Note that he places business before government.)

The 20-Rules to “good” character is titled “UncommonSense”<10> which Blackwell recommends “as a character ethics model for Ohio’s business and government leaders.” Blackwell invites candidates for office to join him in launching “a revolution of character-building in our great state.”

Blackwell speaks candidly. It is a revolution in a deceptively pretty package. Hidden in its paragraphs are concepts of submission, obedience, inspection of the personal lives of people, and the loss of personal rights and freedom that would make America’s founding fathers stand on their heads in their graves. In short it is a Dominionist document: a religious treatise in secular terms, but dominionist to the core. It’s a brilliant little package to get millions of evangelical Christians and their friends to accept authoritarian government without even a whisper of protest.

1. Apparently, "Character" and "Screwing the Voters" are not incompatible.
Who knew?

enough to buy this obvious BS from such an exemplary example of hypocricy get just what they deserve. He and gambling Bennett, who wrote a book on Virtues!, and drugging, drinking Bush, and the entire BFEE are wonderful companions in crime, and deserve each other.
