Forget for a moment gay marriage how about this pastor?

Wow! The Happy Valley Church of Jesus Christ in Tennessee must be channeling Phil Robertson! Brother Donny Reagan doesn’t like Communism–and by Communism, he means “race mixing.”

To choruses of “Amen” and applause, Brother Donny explained to his congregation that God made people just the way they are, and that it is an affront to the Big Guy to attempt to change that. Yes, that’s right–having children with a person with another race is somehow an attempt to change your own skin color….or something.

Brother Donny, in a 2013 sermon posted by the American Jesus, let his congregation know exactly how evil it is to “hybreed” the races. Citing Brother William Branham, a man who is credited with founding the post-WWII divine healing movement and who is considered a prophet by many Pentacostals, Reagan explained to his sheep that race mixing is just wrong.

“We realize there’s a move in the message of blacks marrying whites, whites marrying blacks and folks think it’s alright,” Reagan told his followers (Spoiler alert: Reagan does not think it’s “alright) through quoting the “prophet” Branham. He explains that Branham did not share his opposition to “race mixing” because it was the 60′s when”all that racial stuff was going on.” Brother Branham (and he) spoke in opposition to the mixing of races because it is an affront to God.

To the cheers of his congregation, the Tennessee pastor read passages from Branham’s writing. While he did speak out against the mixing of races, facetiously praising “colored” people, the most impassioned hate speech expressions of his Christian faith came when speaking about white women and men “breeding” with other races.

Branham says that if God wanted someone to be a particular color he would have made that person that color. Branham’s seething hatred for those of other races shows more and more as he continues to speak. He warns the young people in the congregation that if they want to marry an “African” he will not perform the wedding under any circumstances because he doesn’t want to make God angry. “Let me tell you right up front, any of you young people–you want to marry a black man you girls, don’t ask me to do it. I will not. I refuse. I cannot do it with a conscience toward God and look these quotes in the face. You white brothers you find a black sister, you want to marry an African or whatevermore don’t ask Brother Donny,” he told the congregation’s youth.

Driving his point home, Brother Donny explains the real problem with the mixing of races: that’s right–Communism.
“Communism, has infiltrated our message. Not through Stalin, not through Mussolini, but through mixed marriages,” he claims.

Mussolini........... that damn 'communist' who outlawed the communist party in Italy and was thrown out of the socialist party.

When dealing with such a race as Slavic - inferior and barbarian - we must not pursue the carrot, but the stick policy ... We should not be afraid of new victims ... The Italian border should run across the Brenner Pass, Monte Nevoso and the Dinaric Alps ... I would say we can easily sacrifice 500,000 barbaric Slavs for 50,000 Italians ...
—Benito Mussolini, speech held in Pula, 20 September 1920[64][65]

recall that the Red Scare was done to distract from the initiators' insistence that we'd fought on the wrong side in WWII
now of course we know better than to incorporate Bircher nonsense into *both* parties' lines and OH CRAP

"Hey comrade, want to be part of my five-year plan?"

"You've got the prettiest brown eyes I have ever seen. Let's go liberate the proletariat, if you know what I mean."

"Oh girl. You look so good. You make me want to seize the means of production for damn sure!"
