E.W. Jackson: Democrats Would Gladly Be 'The Devil's Chief Lieutenants'

[Initech]

A few weeks ago, Religious Right radio host E.W. Jackson made news when he declared that he was vehemently opposed to a Democratic plan to eliminate a rule banning the wearing of religious headwear on the floor of the House of Representatives in order to accommodate Ilhan Omar, a Muslim woman who wears a religious headscarf and who was recently elected to Congress.

Since then, Jackson has repeatedly defended his comments on his daily radio program while complaining that he is being painted as a bigot simply for insisting that America was founded as, and should remain, a “Judeo-Christian nation.”

He returned to the subject on Monday’s program, during which he asserted that Democrats would be willing turn America into “a satanic nation” as long as they got to remain in charge.

“We’re not an atheistic nation, we’re not a Buddhist nation, we’re not a Hindu nation, we’re not a Muslim nation, we are a Judeo-Christian nation and our culture is predominantly Christian,” Jackson said. “Now, this woman who just got elected to Congress said, ‘Deal’ No, you deal! You deal with the fact that this is a Bible-believing, Judeo-Christian nation. You deal with that!”

Jackson fumed that the floor of Congress “is going to look like an Islamic republic if Nancy Pelosi and her cohorts have their way.”

“I don’t think they care what it looks like, as long as they stay in power,” he added. “I think they’d be just as happy if America was an atheist nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation—listen folks, I mean this, I believe that Democrats and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would just as soon this be a satanic nation, as long as they’re in charge of it. Now I mean that. I think that’s how obsessed with power they are, that they wouldn’t care if everybody worshiped the devil, as long as they were in charge, as long as they were the devil’s chief lieutenants, that’s OK with them.”

1. Article VI of the US Constitution

"...; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."


The No Religious Test Clause of the United States Constitution is a clause within Article VI, Clause 3. By its plain terms, no federal officeholder or employee can be required to adhere to or accept any particular religion or doctrine as a prerequisite to holding a federal office or a federal government job. It immediately follows a clause requiring all federal and state officers to take an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution. This clause contains the only explicit reference to religion in the original seven articles of the U.S. Constitution.

3. They think we give a shit about their religious beliefs after trump?

Christians sold their soul to trump. Can't have it both ways. The moral high ground/values argument from these folks is a belly laugh. We all knew it would start again when they needed something. The whole...righteous lecture. As if...
Right in time for a new congress so they can act like the last 3+ years of all things trump and the 8 years of Pres Obama being harranged, is all forgotten. They have ZERO credibility on preaching to anyone. Focus on yourselves gop. These people are reptiles.
Kids in cages? Treason? Not even a bump of sympathy from these folks...we haven't forgotten.

5. I find it hilarious that the party of "morals and values"...

Elected and continues to support the most dishonest, immoral, corrupt, egomanaical excuse for a man who's ever dared to call himself a leader. They should be shameful for this, but they have no shame.

6. And they are gearing up for the "lecture the Left' routine on

family values and morals. Sorry, those are values you live by everyday, not just when you want someone ELSE to do something out of shame and guilt. No more of that horse-crap from these false people.
They are allowed as part of a free society. The very society they themselves divide up and condemn. Their system of beliefs is TOLERATED, not MANDATED by our Constitution. They want Christianity to be the National Religion so they can start molding outcomes by preaching the bible. No More Of That crap.

7. I know, the Christian right has been given everything.

And they turn around and fuck up so badly that it's nearly impossible to forgive them for this. They are no longer the party of morals and values, they are the party of greed and pussy grabbing. I hope that if there is a god that he really does smite these people or hope they face Biblical justice when the time comes.
