FWIW, we are taking the bull by the horns in Missouri and Kansas but we will try our best to throw the bull's fertilizer right back into the GOPs face!

The Democrats have been so afraid to talk religion to the voters, and it has cost them dearly, so far.

I think when we all see what is really happening, we will no longer be afraid.

We have a history of the Evangelicals (formed first as the Assembly of God churches, circa 1905, and based in Springfield, MO) taking their religion straight from their Preacher's mouth, and nowhere else. Only recently have their Preachers even begun going Seminary School. Until the last generation, their preachers were the ones who "felt the spirit"! And that was that.

In steps the GOP, led by ex-Senator and ex-Attorney General John Ashcroft of Missouri, and others like him from around the country.

That bunch fuses together that very primitive strain of Pentecostal Evangelicalism with the Fascist, cut-throat politics of the Youth For America brand of Republicanism that arose in response to Nixon and, Watergate, and Viet Nam, add a HUGE dash of CASH from hidden givers (like the Ahmansons of Nebraska) and out springs the stealth Religious Right politics of Dominionism!


Best way to tackle them is head on. Get your best Mainstream religious minds and have them hit the books. Study about these Right Fringers.

If they do, they will find that of the 50 million "Evangelicals" that there will be 2 million Dominionists and 48 million benighted followers who don't even know enough of the Bible to understand it.

NJ, and every other place plagued by these heretics, should call them out, like Martin Luther did to the Pope.

Fight them right on their own ground. Quote them their own interpretations and make 'em deny it or defend it. In front of God and everyone!

It's working down here, I think.

So, Good Luck to y'all! ;-)
