End Times broadcaster Jan Markell hosted Michael Coffman this weekend to discuss Coffmans new book Plundered: How Progressive Ideology is Destroying America, which argues that progressives are engineering Americas 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 hes used well-meaning people, but nonetheless the formula of progressivism doesnt work, it is totally destructive, Markell said. These folks would say they dont 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 its 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 well decide what you can or cannot do.

I think they must restrict themselves to Leviticus and Paul.

(13,180 posts)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.

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.

(13,081 posts)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.

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