when fascism comes to america it will be wearing the flag and carrying a....
...cross.

how prophetic that statement was!

check out this church's website (the video at this site is currently being pimped by the FORMER SNL loser, victoria jackson, on her facebook page). look at the church's logo:

if you can stomach it, watch a bunch of "christians" talk about how obama is pushing the US into socialism. whatever happened to the separation of church and state? there are mainstream GOP congressmen and senators discussing this stuff with this church on the video. shouldn't this church be exposed and have its tax exemption removed?

i'm wondering if this church is just a fake church set up by the GOP.

7. Carlin was more prescient
The problem is that he understood so much of the game that most of his audience(including me) didn't get the full import at the time.

Carlin: When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley. Fascism - Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won it. Believe me, my friend.


People think corporations are their friends. They aren't. The fact that corporations have been invited into our homes, our governments and even our minds is perhaps the most disturbing part of all of this.

We opened the door to Fascism and helped it move in.

13. I know, I get into arguments with them :P
They usually also follow the religion of Capitalism.

"The best system we've found yet!"

If that were true, we should just give up now as a species.

11. "Watch a bunch of Christians"
I am offended by that generalization, I am a Christian and I'm also an harden progressive/liberal and I
think your generalization is absurd and offensive.

I can assure you that majority of Christians do not feel as that site would want you or any other individual
you are trying to convince feel about Christians.

14. To be fair,
I think that is why the OP has quotation marks around the word "christian" I think s/he was trying to express an opinion that these people are not mainstram Christians.

By the way, I am an active Christian as well.
