AFA opened its airwaves to advocate for executing gays

[kweerwolf]

Far-right Christian author and American Vision president Gary DeMar was the guest on the February 2 broadcast of Today's Issues, a program of American Family Radio, a network of nearly 200 radio stations owned by the conservative American Family Association (AFA). DeMar denounced "the continual assault on all things religion and, in particular, Christian," and AFA president Tim Wildmon praised him as "one of the best writers out there in the Christian community and thinkers." In the past, DeMar has advocated the installation of a theocratic government in the United States in which homosexuals, adulterers, and abortion doctors would be executed.

Tim Wildmon echoed Shambley's praise of DeMar, declaring, "Well, one of the best writers out there in the Christian community and thinkers is Gary DeMar."

DeMar is a leading promoter of an extremist theology called Christian Reconstructionism, also known as Theocratic Dominionism, which, according to journalist and author Frederick Clarkson, "argues that the Bible is to be the governing text for all areas of life -- such as government, education, law, and the arts, not merely 'social' or 'moral' issues like pornography, homosexuality, and abortion."

In his essay, "Theocratic Dominionism Gains Influence," Clarkson stated that under a Christian Reconstructionist government, "omen would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment beyond such crimes as kidnapping, rape, and murder to include, among other things, blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality."

3. First they came for the Communists,

First they came for the Communists,
but I was not a Communist,
so I said nothing.

Then they came for the Social Democrats,
but I was not a Social Democrat,
so I did nothing.

Then came the trade unionists,
but I was not a trade unionist.

And then they came for the Jews,
but I was not a Jew, so I did little.

Then when they came for me,
there was no one left to stand up for me.'

Niermoller doesn't have a thing to worry about.

11. Hey. Hey. Hey . . . Clarkson is right on point . . .

Clarkson is right on point . . . emulating late but quite on point:

That under a Christian Reconstructionist government, "omen would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment beyond such crimes as kidnapping, rape, and murder to include, among other things, blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality."
Frederick Clarkson, "Theocratic Dominionism Gains Influence."

The Roman Catholic Church had repeatedly purged, purged, and re-purged non-Christians (heretics), blasphemy, heresy, adultery, homosexuality, and other *horrific* subjective *moralistic* holier-than-thou self-righteousness!

Indeed. Let's not go forward. Nay. Let's, instead, march backward into the Dark Ages. Roman Catholic inquisitions! Isn't it swell that our federal taxpayer dollars are going to these *ssh*les u/ the guise of "faith-based initiatives" . . . ? How grand can it get? George Walker Bush and his minions, indeed.

12. Why aren't they being investigated as a potentially terrorist group?

They obviously want to over-throw the government....

13. another talibornagain tapeworm sucking life

from the willfully ignorant.

[sui generis]

15. Oh they need to just keep it up

the loonier they sound the more we can associate the "family values" crowd with them - they're just executing themselves right now.

[kevinbgoode]

16. No - what we really need to be doing

is monitering the content of every one of those 300 christ-fascist radio stations of the AFA and filing massive letterwriting campaigns and complaints about THEIR programming, just like Wildmon does about all the other programming. And since each station has a license for broadcast up for renewal, campaigns to protest issuance of renewal licenses are one good way to raise even more attention to their dominionist agenda.

In my opinion, we simply MUST start doing something productive against this crap - just bitching about it isn't changing anything at all. And they aren't playing around.
