Markell: Satan Behind Progressive Movement

End Times broadcaster Jan Markell hosted Michael Coffman this weekend to discuss Coffman’s new book Plundered: How Progressive Ideology is Destroying America, which argues that progressives are engineering America’s demise in order to create a world government.

Markell, of course, claimed Satan was behind it all.

“Satan has used in some cases evil people, in some cases he’s used well-meaning people, but nonetheless the formula of progressivism doesn’t work, it is totally destructive,” Markell said. “These folks would say they don’t need God because they are God, government is a God.”

Coffman explained that progressives in government and the media are trying to hide the deleterious impact of their policies so when economic ruin comes people have no choice but to seek aid from a nefarious global regime, which many fundamentalists believe will occur before the Apocalypse.

“When it hits it’s going to hit hard and it bothers me that people are going to be destroyed because these people have this agenda and this blind reality,” Coffman claimed, alleging that progressives may orchestrate an “economic collapse” in order to establish a system “centered around a world government.” The world government will then “ride in on the white hat with a solution as people are starving and so forth around the world, but all you have to do is sign on this dotted line and give us all of your of rights and we’ll decide what you can or cannot do.”

these people do not understand what any of the words they're saying mean, including "and" and "the."

3. They certainly haven't read Mark and Matthew for a very long time

because they don't realize progressive programs are the exact things that Jesus instructed us to do.

I think they must restrict themselves to Leviticus and Paul.

6. If Satan could vote, he would definitely vote Republican

Try to picture Satan voting to feed hungry kids and make sure people have health care. It don't work.

Now picture Satan voting to start a war on lies or take Head Start away from poor children. Bingo.

8. What Looneyverse do these people live in? There have been no progressives of note

in positions of power since LBJ who were actually able to do some progressive engineering that made a difference. As to Satan, these guys seem to have more than a passing familiarity with him. They sure talk about him a lot, kind of like he was once an old friend they had a falling out with.

14. A particular Looneyverse: the sealed room of bean-eaters

They get so acclimated to their methane-rich environment that it's normal, and the weirdos are the ones who walk in contort their faces, say rude things like "Good God, how can you people live like this?", and finally show how crazy they are by trying to smash a window open.

13. Hands down, the best part of that book

I'm an atheist, but I read a lot of books. And that is, hands down, the best part of that one. Every time one of my conservative frends or family members try and convince me that Jesus wants them to bomb brown people or eliminate the minimum wage, I quote that back to them. Ad then remind them that I give more back to the community in a month than their whole family does in a year.

Personally, I'm hoping I can hitch a ride on this white hat. Does it have wheels, or is it some sort of hovercraft?

...'cause his type have been saying that for as long as they've been saying how the Soviets were Magog and would bring about the apocalypse.


We all know how on-target they were about that one.
