Christian Exodus Planned For South Carolina in order to "influence" gov't


""I think it's fantastic, I think we need more of that actually. I don't know which direction our government is heading in, but I think they need Christian influence, it would go a long way, I really think so," says Mauldin resident, Reggie Brown."

Percy Croft of Greenville agrees, "America was founded on Christian principals...people with different views about Christianity, you have them getting into the elected positions and they don't want to see this country stay the way it is, they want it to change...They're getting away from what they were founded on."

Plans to reform our government to more Christian-like principals are in the works and we may feel the effects, right here in the Upstate. That is because South Carolina has been chosen as the place for hundreds, even thousands of Christians to move to, in hopes of impacting the government. But people who live here have mixed opinions about the Christian Exodus.

Denise Collins-Bennett lives in Florence, SC and says, "I guess it's great to have more Christian groups moving here." Here, is South Carolina: the chosen location for the Christian Exodus, a non-profit group organizing Christians to move to the Palmetto State to concentrate the number of Christians in one location with the intent to influence how the state governs. A plan that some residents say we need.

2. great, all the radical Christians should move to one state
this will reduce their impact on elections everywhere else. If enough people moved there from Ohio, maybe we could turn it blue.......

7. Diebold will still count the Ohio votes.
To repeat Josef Stalin, "it doesn't matter how people vote; what matters is who counts the votes."

4. can we move them strategically from selected red states???
you know how, figure out the margin of bush victory in some states and then move that many from that state to south carolina? Say maybe 15K from New Mexico, 12K from Nevada, 200K from Florida or whatever?

5. How about this? Fence off Flordia.,Move all the fanatics to one place
Just like the movie "Escape From New York" only guard this border very carefully--- you want no contamination from them. They've caused enough damage already!

6. I say they should go for it!
I was born there, have lived there off and on, went to University there (Go Cocks!), still have relatives there, but I will gladly take one for the team and sacrifice my "home" state if that's what it takes to centralize as many fundies as possible into one tiny voting block. (SC only has 8 electoral votes.) This would guarantee that not only would I never live there again (promised myself that a long time ago) but also that I'd never visit there again.

8. You know...it's ALWAYS South Carolina.
Check yer history, back to the at least 3 times SC threatened to secede from the union in the early 1800's, prior to the Civil War.

Methinks that choosing SC is more than a co-inky-dink.

11. Do the terra'ists take requests?
I've got one in mind...
It's a win-win proposition!
The fake Christians get their fake rapture and
the terra'ists get their next US attack!
And we get our country and Christianity back!
:evilgrin:
