Bachman, Palin, The Army of Joel, and Theocracy

[nadinbrzezinski]

This is a critical point that many here don't know about. I don't fault any body for not knowing any of this. After all, let's be honest, just as they are doing a sucky job of explaining why the debt ceiling matters... it is kabuki theater... none has educated people on this.

Here are a few links...

Dominionism is a danger to a secular state..

So when they say things that might sound off the wall and crazy to you, remember the dog whistles, and Palin and Bachman use them all the time... are very loud indeed.

1. Dominionism is a theocratic form of totalitarianism.

Nothing more and nothing less.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Absolutely, but MOST Ameircans, I am willing to bet,

are not familiar with this.

6. I first learned about it 5-6 years ago

by following a link I stumbled across somewhere to the site of a woman named Kathryn Yurica. It felt like a "kook" site at first, but she documents the rise of dominionism in incredible, heavily footnoted and referenced detail. I printed a bunch of the stuff off and read it carefully - I can tell you it scared the fertilizer out of me. These "people" are terrifying.

7. She is incredible

I know

10. Here's a direct link to Yurica's examinations of

dominionism for anyone interested: http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/DirectoryRiseOfDominionismInAmerica.html

Read it and scare the living hell out of yourself. This is a monstrous movement.

2. Indeed. And it's gained considerable strength over the past decade

and continues to do so today.

It is going to be a force to be reckoned with, because the people are bat-shit crazy, as are ALL religious extremists.

4. I think all the DU scoffers need to reread this

Unlike Palin, Bachmann actually is planning to institute a theocracy. I do not want her to be the GOP candidate. Yes, she MIGHT WIN. Trust me when I say that that would be the end of ALL Democracy.

5. Where are the unreccers coming from?

Either scoffers or outright trolls

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Same place they always do

and I got fans. I could post the sky is blue and they will unrec it.

[Taverner]

9. LOL and that wouldn't surprise me

I think I have my fans too - although I imagine my being an asshole doesn't help things

11. I've never noticed that.
