"ANY WAGE THAT IS NOT A LIVING WAGE IS UNJUST, NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON, AND TO BE FORCED TO ACCEPT IT IS ECONOMIC VIOLENCE." Obery M. Hendricks, Jr., from "The Politics of Jesus..."
Caught this on HuffPo, the mixture of religion and bigotry is very dangerous indeed...this flows together with my other posts on the Christian Right...
I am adding some quotes from the video courtesy of crooksandliars:
It was kind of strange, dintcha think, that John McCain came to the defense of his supporters last night after Barack Obama pointed out that people at McCain/Palin rallies were shouting out "terrorist" and "kill him!" in reference to Obama.
Now an Al Jazeera camera crew caught the honest sentiments of McCain/Palin supporters at an Ohio rally:
“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”
“When you got a Negra running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”
“He seems like a sheep - or a wolf in sheep’s clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin - she’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she’s gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”
“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”
“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”
“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”
“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda - a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”
“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”
“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”
Yep, McCain must be so proud.
The rest of us, well ... let's just say those polls should tell the story.
We need to marginalize, at the very least, the Christian Right, we need systemic change in the US and we for damn sure do not need McCain or Sarah fucking Palin in office. If they do get in, we are in for real trouble.
I have written quite a bit regarding Christianity in the US, and it would seem that I am especially concerned about Right Wing ChristoFascism. As well I should be. So should you.
I came across this video, one that features a speaker ministering in Alaska about Spiritual Warfare.
Let me emphasize this: I have sat in nearly identical sermons as the one recorded here. The Evangelical Charismatic church in the United States completely believes the material put forth in the sermon, and they are deadly serious about seeing it come to pass. These are people that believe not one more generation will pass after the re-creation of Israel before Jesus comes back. They believe that, and they will do what they believe in their hearts to be true, and right, to facilitate His return. These people believe they are hearing from God. I do not deny that perhaps He speaks to people today. However, an increasing majority of movements in the US and North America are built upon "Words of Knowledge" visions" "dreams" and other things that cannot be proven by scripture, science, logic or fact.
I want you to pay attention to the time in the video from 3:14-3:51. In case you don't sit through it, or perhaps in order to pique your curiosity here is a sample from what the speaker, Mary Glazer, said:
"God is preparing a people to displace the ones whose sin is rising so that then they tip over and the church goes in-one is removed and the church goes in and takes the territory."
The "Church" is the evangelical charismatic Christians, the Klan, etc. The "territory" is YOUR stuff, YOUR property, YOUR home, YOUR state, YOUR nation. There is hope, though, as Mary Glazer goes on:
"Now that does not mean that the people are removed, because God removes them from the Kingdom of Darkness to the Kingdom of Light. They are given an opportunity to change allegiances."
(Italics mine.)
Now, what do you suppose will happen if one decides not to change allegiances? This is Dominion Theology, it is dangerous and completely without Scriptural basis.
Please remember, when people believe they are hearing from God, there is generally nothing that will stop them, or convince them otherwise; even when confronted by proof in the Bible. In fact, I know from experience that people will search the Bible until they begin to cull various passages that back up their doctrine. Here is the video:
Did you know that Alaska is a "Northern Gateway?"
What a load of horseshit. I heard the same bullshit about Arkansas, about Missouri, Kansas, you get the picture. Everywhere you go in the US, "God" is telling people that your state is special, it has been selected for some sort of special something, and the rest of the world is going to hell in a handbasket, and the "Church", (that is the evancgelical church of the US, and to a lesser degree, North America) is ready to inherit the world.
The US church is hardly meek, which I believe is a requirement one must have if one is going to inherit the world. See Book of Matthew, 5:5.
I'm telling you, these people are crazy, culty, and completely deceived. And Sarah Palin is one of them.But she is just one of millions.
We are in for some serious shit if McPalin get in.
Something to think about also, if Obama gets elected, there are going to be millions of backward thinkin' bible totin' gun ownin' people out there that are going to be really pissed off.
I'll keep my firearms close and add a bar on the door, thank you.
Christian Fascism in the United States must be stamped out. Peace- Mike
I'm a man that is just begining to feel grounded and in place...I used to support the right wing in the United States even when it went against my interests, in the interest of American Right Wing Christianity...I have awakened...stay posted...
