The Secretive Right-Wing Cabal That Met In Minneapolis To Vet Palin

[shey1218]

..................

CNP members have included Tony Perkins, James Dobson, Grover Norquist, Tim LaHaye and Paul Weyrich. At a secret 2000 meeting of the CNP, George W. Bush promised to nominate only pro-life judges; in 2004, then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told the group, "The destiny of the nation is on the shoulders of the conservative movement." This year, thanks to Sarah Palin's selection, the movement may have finally aligned itself behind the campaign of John McCain.

2. Perkins, Dobson, LaHaye, and Weyrich are ALL....

...religious leaders, not political.

This is a religious coup we're talking about. This is indeed the American Taliban.

3. So "we" are fighting a war for our lives and our country on 2 fronts - the Neocons, and the Fundies.

We have world dominance (so the Neocons are the World Empire wing of the cabal), and the Fundies are the Crusades wing of the cabal.

Obama and Biden are up against much more than they bargained for, though I suspect they realize that.

4. 20 some years ago, really drunk at college

I made a prediction, and sadly I've not been wrong when I'm "channeling" like that..

I told my pal that in a few decades America would be "Goose Stepping the Planet for Jesus.."

See? I was right.

Now it's time to leave the country.. if McCain wins (steals the election), I most definately will..

8. I made the same promise just a few months ago...

there will be nothing left here for me if America allows another stolen election and these idiots are placed into power.

5. Exactly.

If you can find it, read Jorstad Erling's "The Politics of Doomsday: Fundamentalists of the Far Right," published in 1970. It has lost nothing in the way of relevancy in 38 years.

In Norquist and his ilk you have shruggers who want to destroy the world's economy and remake it into a feudal oligarchy; the other four comprise a religious junta of christian reconstructionists/dominionists who want to remake the social fabric of the world and then destroy it.
