Channel surfed "religious" shows this morning. Copeland was calling the Democratic Party rascist. His proof?.... The 1860 Democratic Party platform! I wonder if the IRS will ever investigate these "tax-free" religious shows for mixing politics and God! Doesn't that pull their tax exemption? Repukes are attacking on a broad front... a sign of desperation?

1. Religious talk radio is pretty blatant, too |
|
As I surf the channels and cruise past the religious shows, it's astonishing the sound bites you can hear.

6. Love to call 'em up though... |
|
These guys (to their credit, actually) don't try to emulate the INanity/Limballs/O'Liely scream 'em down method, and you can actually get off quite a few good points.
I remember telling one during the Clinton impeachment saga, that Larry Flynt was more honorable than Ken Starr, because he was at least honest about being a pornographer.

Keep in mind that in the 19th Century, the Democrats were conservative and the Republicans were progressive.
My how things change.
Just because his thinking is rooted in the 19th century does not mean his facts have to.

4. The "Council" of that group of televangelists |
|
I am thinking the World Council of them all, Falwell, Swaggert, Copeland, etc. is in Springfield, Missouri. Ashcroft's father is a minister. He is one of THEM !!!!!!

5. i'm a former republican |
|
In 3rd grade, because Lincoln freed the slaves.
Kenneth Copeland's understanding of politics hasn't matured beyond that level, I guess.

|
...that it wasn't until just a few years ago that the Southern Baptist Convention formally renounced its support of slavery (the main issue which caused it to split from the Baptists in 1844.

9. The republicans know that there reign will end soon. |
|
I truly believe that America is going to see this yuk party for what it is. They are not going to be able to hide behind their so-called Christian and family values platform and yet desimate the poor and neediest among us. They have forgotten what Christianity really is and there will be a special place in HELL for many of them.

11. Fundamentalists and conservatives are dying |
|
They're beleagued. They feel culture is working against them. They use one another to hold back the inevitable. If they ever succeeded they would lose. They know that they can't allow the state to criminalize abortion. They know they can't force homosexuals back in the closet. They know they can't send African Americans back to the back of the bus. They know they can't permit the unregulated proliferation of weapons of any kind to any one. These are all purely symbolic cultural wedge issues which serve no other purpose than to con converts into believing they speak for god.
