Thanks, they were two vivid posts illustrating clearly looming danger.
Thanks for Rachel Maddow 17 November, 2009 .. Psalm 109.8 'Let His Days Be Few, And Let Another Take His Office.' Let his days be few. followed by Psalm 109.9 'Let His Children Be Fatherless, And His Wife A Widow.' .. this is real vicious. scary stuff .. terrible .. And don't forget, that sentiment is now being merchandized on bumper stickers, on mouse pads, on teddy bears, on aprons, framed tiles
CREEPED OUT! .... As Frank Schaeffer said,
i think that the situation that I find genuinely frightening right now is that you have a ramping up of biblical language, language from the anti-abortion movement, for instance, death panels, and this sort of thing, and what it's coalescing into is branding Obama as Hitler [...] He is Sarah Palin's 'not a real American.' [...]
Really, this is trawling for assassins. And this is serious business. It's un-American, it's unpatriotic, and it goes to show that the religious right, the Republican far-right, have coalesced into a group that truly wants American revolution, and if it turns out to be blood in the streets and death, so be it. This is not funny stuff any more. They cannot be dismissed as just crazies on the fringe. It only takes one." http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=43673747
The video in your one above is a must see.
The right-wing religious fundamentalists have plenty of money to abuse, too have plenty of money to abuse, too ..
AU Is ‘Dangerous,’ Falwell Lawyer Asserts In Right-Wing Bulletin October 2009 People & Events
Americans United for Separation of Church and State is “one of the most dangerous organizations in America,” says a top lawyer for late TV preacher Jerry Falwell’s empire.
Mathew D. Staver, dean of Falwell’s Liberty University Law School and president of Liberty Counsel, went on a tear about Americans United in the Aug. 26 edition of OneNewsNow, a daily right-wing spin on the news published on the Web by the Rev. Donald Wildmon’s American Family Association.
Staver got fired up after Americans United wrote to Illinois officials and demanded that $40 million in legislative earmarks for 97 “faith-based” groups be spent in accordance with the Constitution. In its letter, AU argued that clear provisions of the U.S. and Illinois state constitutions mean that none of that money may be spent on religion.
Staver was not pleased about the AU action.
“Barry Lynn and his ilk at Americans United don’t care about the people who need help,” Staver blustered. “They don’t care about the people who are freezing out in the streets in the city of Chicago who are not able to have their daily meals, who need medical care. They’re only concerned with literally erasing Christianity from the planet. They have absolutely no concern for the well-being of individuals. This organization, I think, is one of the most dangerous organizations in America.”
Writing on AU’s blog, “The Wall of Separation,” Director of Communications Joe Conn called Staver’s charges “a bubbling crock of sauerkraut!”
“We at Americans United care deeply about the dignity and well-being of all people,” Conn wrote. “That’s why we do the work we do. The grants in question are earmarked to a wide variety of churches, church schools, temples and other ‘faith-based’ organizations with no controls on how the money is going to be spent. Some of the grants may go to help poor people, but others may also go to a variety of construction and indoctrination projects that have nothing to do with assisting the disadvantaged.”
Continued Conn, “Who knows what Christ the King Jesuit College Preparatory School or the Holy Temple of Islam or Telshe Yeshiva Chicago or Great True Vine Baptist Church plan to do with their legislative windfall? The bill that assigned the tax funds doesn’t say.”
Conn also responded to Staver’s claim that AU is trying to erase Christianity from the planet, calling the charge “absurd.”
“Church-state separation ensures the right of all faiths, including Christianity to freely practice,” wrote Conn. “Is Staver really saying that Christianity will disappear if it doesn’t get a subsidy from the Illinois state legislature and other governmental bodies?!”
Concluded Conn, “As for Americans United being dangerous, Brother Mat, yes we are. We’re dangerous to the theocratic agenda of you and other Religious Right honchos who are plotting to tear down the wall of separation between church and state.”
Staver’s outburst was not the only salvo he has launched against AU recently. When Jerry Falwell Jr. denied recognition to a College Democrats club at Liberty University in May, AU reported him to the Internal Revenue Service.
