The Religious Right, The Devil Moves in Mysterious Ways.

The Religious Right, The Devil Moves in Mysterious Ways.

Republicans have been donating huge sums of money to Churches,
Buying Votes at the most deplorable level, then call
themselves, The Religious Right, leading the Sheep to
Slaughter.  If one was to look at how much the republicans
have spent giving money to Churches since 1999 - 2006 you will
not believe the number. The real unconscionably thing, it is
all a Tax Deductible, buying votes under the table, the devil
moves in mysterious ways.

This is why they don’t like the idea of separation of Church
and State

1. Fundamentalist Churches
are just political action committees for Republicans.

I wonder if a correlation between this money "donated" and the growing popularity of the "Prosperity Gospel" could be found? Interesting.

2. Rapture-Ready Evangelicals Impersonate Army Officers -Bush Administration Organization Members Award

Rapture-Ready Evangelicals Impersonate Army Officers -- Bush Administration Gives Organization Members Award

What I found is that the USSC was a private "disaster relief" organization with no official military affiliation. USSC no longer seems to be an active organization, but appears to have recently been replaced by something called the United States Operational Support Command (USOSC), another private organization with a deceptively official sounding name, founded by Michael Marshall and full of former USSC members. But it's not the misleading names of these organizations that makes them significant enough for me to be writing this piece about them. Unofficial organizations with official sounding names are a dime a dozen. Many have logos that incorporate images such as the Great Seal of the United States, and some use ".us" rather than ".com" or ".org" URLs for their websites to further the impression that they are government entities. What's different about the USOSC, and formerly the USSC, is that their members wear military uniforms and rank. This is not only deceptive. IT'S ILLEGAL!

The bible belt has jumped the borders not only fiscally but lawfully? I am all for religion but this is what are founding fathers didn’t want. Giving people jobs (Cronyism) because of religious believes rather then earning a job on education and experience.
