The Christian Exodus Movement


(CBS 13) SACRAMENTO It's a big idea born from the sleepy rolling hills of Calaveras County. There, in the town of Valley Springs lives Cory Burnell who's plan is to move thousands of followers to South Carolina and establish a new Christian nation.

“Our mission is simply to reestablish constitutionally limited government founded upon Christian principles,” he says. Those principles, he says, are standard Christian articles of faith. He claims Christian Exodus is a simple voter mobilization project.

“We established a multi phase strategy that goes county by county. Back in 2004 we set that up,” he says.

The soft spoken Burnell acknowledges that even if he's able to take control of the state, the Federal Government might not make the changes he wants. In that case he has a backup plan and it’s a big one.

“Secession is such a bad word these days. Of course, in 1776 the colonies seceded from Britain and we call that independence -- a much more positive term," he says.

Burnell believes the federal Government is operating outside its powers set forth in the constitution, preventing states, and their people from openly embracing Christian beliefs. But a close look at the group's business card and you understand the type of government he's looking to create. It reads: "United we murder babies. Celebrate sodomy. Evolve from monkeys. It's time we separate!"

1. How do the SC natives feel about this?

[Donkeykick]

2. Yep!

Another nut! Probably have his parishioners drinking that special Kool-Aid before you know it! :eyes:

[hogwyld]

3. Why don't we just ship 'em all to Easter Island

rid this country of these wackos. They can set up jeebus land there.

[The Stranger]

4. Fucking let them go.

Best news I have read in months. Good riddance.

[xchrom]

5. please, please, please....

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. Hey, I'll chip in

for the spaceship to come take them away.

[AlCzervik]

7. is this the same fool that still hasn't move to SC yet?

[Der Blaue Engel]

8. They should be set afloat offshore

(I was thinking on a boat, but an ice floe would work nicely.) If they don't want to be part of America, they can be like The Man Without a Country and just stay at sea. (Remember that movie?)

[oneighty]

9. I hope they take

a lot of money with them. They will need a nest egg to hold them over until they find a job above minimum wage.

10. I'm so sorry for the good people of South Carolina

It would be nice to have all these people in one place so they couldn't pollute the whole country, but poor South Carolina :cry:

[American Tragedy]

11. Oh please, please, go. I'm very sorry for South Carolina

but it's so much better for everybody if these people are all in one place. At least if they're isolated somewhere with most of their demands met, they'll perhaps be less inclined to try to impose nationwide theocracy on the rest of us.

[ComerPerro]

12. a "limited government" that forces religion on people?

[TexasLawyer]

13. I seem to recall a Civil War fought over secession...

hmmm... what country was that in.... oh yeah-- America!

[ComerPerro]

14. Im not fighting. Those freaks can get the hell on outta here

I just hope they don't expect any aid or protection from the US.

[tinfoil tiaras]

15. As I said in a different thread

those psydo-christian freaks can go buy a small island out in the middle of the pacific and establish their "dream" "Christian" "nation" THERE for all i care....:eyes:

[Nikki Stone1]

16. You know, I keep waiting for the damned Rapture to beam up these wingnuts

What is the delay?

Jesus, if you're listening, man, it's time to come get these folks.

[hogwyld]

17. He doesn't want them either!! n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

18. Oh, come on. Even Jesus needs a laugh now and then.

Nothing like the truly tasteless and absurd to get the Messiah guffawing.

:)

19. It's the absolute best thing that could happen to the USA politically.

Imagine if all the fundies moved to one state. They'd have control of 2 Senators, a handful of Reps
and whatever state government was left. The remaining 49 states would be populated by relatively
normal people...which would spell and end to RW rule.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. PLEASE GOD! JUST DO IT! Separate! We'll even help you move

your shit! Tis would be HEAVEN SENT....IMCPO. Put them all in their own little closed off from reality colony. PLEASE! :bounce:

[left is right]

25. I'm willing to give up a Saturday afternoon

to help them pack

[Democrats_win]

21. Let those without sin be the first to move

[Democrats_win]

22. oops.

[Nikki Stone1]

23. oops?

?

[never_get_over_it]

24. So would I need a passport

to drive from FL to DC when I pass through SC - oh I think I would be afraid to do that - they'll probably establish a gitmo type place and I might never make it out....crap that will increaase the driving time - I say find an island some where FAR FAR FAR away and have at you pathetic freaks.
