The Crusaders...

[Proud_Democratt]

The Dominionists and Reconstructionists are hard at work to reclaim America for Christ.


The godfather of the Dominionists is D. James Kennedy, the most influential evangelical you've never heard of. A former Arthur Murray dance instructor, he launched his Florida ministry in 1959, when most evangelicals still followed Billy Graham's gospel of nonpartisan soul-saving. Kennedy built Coral Ridge Ministries into a $37-million-a-year empire, with a TV-and-radio audience of 3 million, by preaching that it was time to save America -- not soul by soul but election by election. After helping found the Moral Majority in 1979, Kennedy became a five-star general in the Christian army. Bush sought his blessing before running for president -- and continues to consult top Dominionists on matters of federal policy.

1. Ah yes, the Crusades!

When Europeans marched to the Middle East, sometimes destroying Christian cities when Islamic ones weren't handy. The Children's Crusade, where most of the kids, armed only with crosses, either died en route or were sold into slavery. The Christians storming Jerusalem, killing non-Christians. Saladin the Great re-conquering the city, allowing the captured crusaders and their families to live in peace....
