Reverend Jerry Falwell Planning an 'Evangelical Revolution'

[Moloch]

CNSNews.com) - The Rev. Jerry Falwell is launching a new organization called The Faith and Values Coalition, which he describes as a "21st century resurrection of the Moral Majority."

The new coalition will lobby for pro-life judicial appointments; a federal amendment barring same-sex marriage; and the election of another conservative president in 2008.

Falwell, now 71, said he would serve as national chairman of the new coalition for four years.

[NoSheep]

Progressive Values are Moral Values.

They've hi-jacked the language. We MUST take it back. We know who the truly moral are.

[jdj]

67. eviljailankill christians and their more-oil values

back in the day, jesus just wept.

thanks to them, he's probably in a straight-jacket (with wings on the back) by now.

[JHB]

1. Jerry's mostly out to line his pockets again...

...but of course these fellows will have to be watched and countered.

[havocmom]

15. BINGO

yep, he's gotta cash in on the current rage: hate disguised as christianity

[KingChicken]

2. Every Christian revival in U.S. history has ended within 10 years

It never lasts long, more people are eventally driven away from religon each time these evangelicals try to dominate the public.

[jdj]

69. so will Washington D.C. become the new Heritage U.S.A?

empty and rusting?

[barb162]

80. I think what we have going now is very different... they get

stronger and stronger, more of 'em too and it's been going on way over ten years. A good 20+ yrs.

[slappypan]

3. Why doesn't he drop dead.

When I think of the many talented, wonderful people who have died young, while evil creeps like Falwell live on and on stinking up the world, I know there is no God.

[smirkymonkey]

19. This is something that I have been obsessing on lately...

Why do the most evil, hateful, corrupt, muderous bastards live to ripe old ages, while those who do good in the world and set examples of tolerance and love seem to die early?

And then I thought, maybe we ARE ALREADY in hell!

[belle]

33. Well, Julia Child had a nice long life and a peaceful death

Apart from that, can't think of any good examples, sigh.

oh, Bayard Rustin, lived till his 80's.

I think we should all pray for the long LONG life and health of Justice Stevens...

[drfemoe]

35. That is absolutely

why I do not believe in hell after 'life'.
If this ain't it, gawed has a lot of 'splainin to do.

[Ima]

39. elementary my dear Watson

Because of being able to get the very best Doctors, food etc.

[Judi Lynn]

42. It has occurred to me, too. You're not alone! n/t

[donheld]

26. Only the good die young

the evil seem to live on and on

[Seabiscuit]

48. He will. He's already 71,

And he can't survive much longer swallowing his own puke and chewing on his own cud. Friggin' bovine bastard. Yo, Larry Flynt - you out there?

[0007]

60. This asshole is good for a another twenty years.

[Seabiscuit]

81. I suppose I'm a tad more optimistic than you. :)

[Pattib]

63. And I know this is petty but how come he has no health problems?

He is bigger than ever. His head is three times the normal size...he just keeps going. Amazing.

[Moloch]

98. Reminds me of an 'Onion' headline a few years ago....

The Power Of Prayer Fails To Rid Jerry Fallwell of Unsightly Neck Fat

[jdj]

68. God has it all over us. He doesn't want Falwell either.

But being God, HE has a choice about it.

[KingChicken]

4. Every Christian revival in U.S. history has ended within 10 years

It never lasts long, more people are eventally driven away from religon each time these evangelicals try to dominate the public.

[Old and In the Way]

5. Keep that money coming folks!

Jerry's gotta a lotta overhead to cover!

[Catfight]

6. The new leader of the repug party! Sheep..or wolves...which is it guys? n

[napi21]

7. I say go for it Jerry! Outlaw divorce and alcohol as part of it too!

I see them over-reaching again! I'm sure willing to help him. Lets all send him a note to add my 2 suggestions to his agenda, and lets just seehow many people really go along with that!

[motherfather]

11. I agree.

We really should try and start an e-mail campaign and get them to adopt those two goals.

[DinahMoeHum]

13. Outlaw music, sex and football as well !!

according to gonzo writer Hunter Thompson, Bush "doesn't like football, music or sex...he's no fun at all"

Good grief! Not like football or music! Those things are next to religion down South!

Fun Hogs Rule!!

:evilgrin:

[donkeyotay]

31. Talk about a wedgie? Forget sex, outlaw football???

That would destroy the red states. Yeah, futball is the devil's work! It distracts the real God-fearin from slaying for Jesus. It's a temptation to stop the Lord's work. True Christian soldiers must stop idling in the devil's workshop and ENLIST! Go kill Muslims in Jesus' name. Amen. ps - send money.

[belle]

34. don't forget TINKY WINKY

Plushies: the downfall of America.

[donkeyotay]

37. how could I forget Tinky Winky? Wait, I don't know what tinky winky is

This isn't about sex is it??? Good god, man, mam, don't you know there's a crusade on?

[stevedeshazer]

66. Who could forget?

[mmichaelak]

45. Football???

Outlaw football?

Damn those Rupublikan baseball fans to hell!

As for those of you who like baseball and are enlightened enough to Not be Republikan, maybe you'd enjoy football too? ;)

[newyawker99]

85. Hi motherfather!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Cobalt Violet]

12. That's a good idea.

Get them to push the most radical ideas.

[Javaman]

17. Ban cigerettes as well! that will go over as well as banning beer LOL

[Judi Lynn]

44. You bet! Go, Jerry, Go!!! Their work is never finished.

After they get gambling out of the way, then they'll go after clothes. Modesty requirements.

After that, precise requirements for movies and books.

No dancing! No swearing. No gum-chewing. Of course no drugs, no cigarettes, cigars.

No mixed bathing. Sex segregated classrooms. ETC. There will ALWAYS be a new frontier for Jerry's people.

[VaYallaDawg]

50. And then, JudiLyn,

as I always say, may Mr. Falwell and Fallowers can succeed in getting some civil rights issues on the ballots. Wouldn't that be an achievement for them.

[Judi Lynn]

72. You bet. You know that's what in their minds, still unspoken so far

but definitely next on the agenda.

They want to go back to the days which existed only in their hate-filled reveries a long time ago.

[sui generis]

8. it didn't work before and it ain't gonna work now

How quaint - a bunch of self-righteous peasants with pitchforks and torches.

Well, here's the answer: we form our own faith and values coalition. Don't let them define either faith or values. We'll call it the 21st century resurrection of the rational majority.

[liberal N proud]

All the funds for welfare will be directed through the church

That will help them build their membership rolls as it will be a requirement that to get welfare you must:
- Attend the church responsible for the funds
- Must plan to get married in set amount of time.
- Children will attend the church school (allows church to get the voucher funds also)
- This will allow them to fill more minds with the holier than though mind melting and direct their votes in future elections.

[Cobalt Violet]

14. They will be required to show proof that they voted repuke to get...

what meager benefits are still available.

[Lisaben2619]

9. It's a credit to so many different groups of Americans that

Jerry Falwell is still alive and has a forum to spew all this hate in the name of the god of love.

[soundhead]

10. Watch the Kids

He is also set to lobby to instate Capital punishment for incorrigible children.

Are these people realy in the same country? It's hard to understand from our bubble here in San Francisco :hippie:

[Duncan Grant]

21. Welcome to DU!

Always great to have another San Franciscan here at DU! Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. :hi:

[sakabatou]

79. As a suburb of S.F....

(that is the home of the HP computers), welcome you too.

[LeftHander]

16. More Like a Kum Ba Ya Coup d' etat - nt

[catzies]

29. That's pretty good! We have a lot of good ideas for language in this

thread, and that's one of them.

I also like the reality-based majority idea.

[patricia92243]

18. That term is "anti-choice"; not "pro-life". :)

[donheld]

27. You are quite right

If they were "pro-life" they would care more for health care, education, a living wage etc. It's anti-choice because they want to make the choices for us.

[bunkerbuster1]

53. pro-CRIMINALIZATION!

Call it what it is.

[Az_lefty]

20. what is the chimp going to do when the wacko's...

realize he can't get their extremist agenda through Congress? Will they turn on him or just drink the Kool Aid? Either way, these nuts are the chimps problem, not mine. The Dem's are small in number but the Senate can still filibuster their bullshit.

[drfemoe]

38. It's just like the war on terra ..

.. it's a never ending crusade. The best they can do is make as many people miserable as possible, destroy as much of their so-called 'creator's creation' while they're at it, and pass on up to the streets of Gold and Hallelujah choruses.

jeebus . what a non-life.
I'm convinced if they actually FOUND a life, they'd leave the rest of us alone.

[Duncan Grant]

22. Repeat after me: Revoke their tax-exempt status.

I will support their right to organize, worship and thrive but why should we continue to subsidize their lunacy is beyond my comprehension. :nopity:

[belle]

36. I agree--maybe the IRS should be our next focus of mass campaigning

Go after these fuckers, bigtime.

[jdj]

70. I believe Moon bailed out Falwell's Liberty university.

to the tune of $3 million or so.. another moonie for Christ.

[jdj]

71. dupe

dupe

[Moloch]

93. We should make a massive effort

to turn in fundamentalists like Falwell to the IRS. They should not be tax exempt if they are preaching about politics.

[louis-t]

23. Ole Blinky Falwell is spending his political capital

The Christian Right has determined that they are responsible for *'s (tainted) re-selection. They will demand a say in the policy of this nation and will be PO'd when shrubbie can't oblige.

[VegasWolf]

25. Blinky eyes! I don't know if he has a physiological disease or if

he is just lying non-stop.


edit typo

[Judi Lynn]

52. You're close to the truth, I'm sure. He's probably living in fear

that if there is a Gawd, he's going to smack him silly any moment now.

[Gregorian]

24. Woopee! Televised crucifixions? Yeehaw. Good times.

[Ima]

40. Gregorian

They prefer public stoning , with all the faithful participating. reason being, if your part of the stoning you will accept it more.

[VegasWolf]

74. Yes, but Pay per View only, gotta replace that falling tithe money!

[stanwyck]

28. the "moderates" who voted for Bush

need to start paying attention. Falwell and the Rev. Sun Moon are reaping the Bushie benefits. How can a person say they're pro-choice, pro-environment, pro-equal rights, fiscally conservative, and believe in separation of church and state and vote Republican? The fundies are lost. Write them off. It's the insidiousness of the "moderates" who shock me. They must be liars. You can not support any of the above and vote Republican. At least the fundies are honest.

[Bigmack]

51. None of the fundies...

seem to know of the Moon connection to Falwell.

Quick version: Fallwell's "university" was going broke, and Moon funded him. The money was funneled thru Beverly LeHay.. wife of the end-times book dude.

I told this to my semi-fundie sister in law, and her head nearly exploded.

[stanwyck]

59. Why hasn't the Moon connection to Bush

been more of a story? Cause it's a doozy. Moon was crowned, literally, the Messiah on Capitol Hill in March in a room reserved by John Warner. The Bush family has received millions in speaking fees from Moon. He owns the AP and the Washington Times, GWB's favorite newspaper. The fundies should really be aware of the Bush-Moon connection. I think Moon is one of the reasons Pat Robertson is getting his panties in a twist with GWB. He's afraid his slice of the pie is going to Moon. Too many con men trying to split up the Bush largesse.
They'll be fighting like jackals during this administration. Let the games begin.

[mcg]

61. Gotta let the fundies know these cons are in league with blasphemer Moon.

That's what I'm thinking, these false prophets won't tell their deceived followers, not will the media, so we have to. There must be ways, e.g. maybe signs outside fundie churches. Maybe show them this picture:



with some explanation of just who Moon is and what he is doing, e.g. his 'take down the crosses' campaign.

The resulting cognitive dissonance, egads!

[Catchawave]

30. Glad he's on the Dark Side's Team....n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

32. Brothers and Sisters, you can make those generous checks out to

Christians Against Sin Hallelujah!
(Actually, just use the initials. It's quicker that way.)

[delete_bush]

41. NASCAR races on Sunday should be

outlawed. The glorification on the sabbath of machinery and the god-like status of their drivers makes Jeebus very angry.

[mmichaelak]

47. Jr.

It is sacriledge to go to /watch NASCAR on Sunday. Falwell should be crucified on the hood of Dale Earnhadt Jr.s car in the infield at Daytona. Along with Oral Roberts and the rest of their meddling ilk. Then burn the pits. All that rubber and high octane should burn well.

But would that make the drivers martyrs?

[delete_bush]

54. You know what they say, the only good

martyr is a dead martyr. But save the fuel, Fartwell's blubber alone has more than enough BTU's to raze the place.

[Madame X]

43. This will be interesting to watch

They are pushing too hard, too fast. I believe their movement will suffer for it.

[newyawker99]

86. Hi Madame X!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Seabiscuit]

46. Why not just declare all-out war on these KKKristian "insurgents"???

If Shrub can get away with it in Iraq...

Falwell's headquarters and financial empire could be our Fallujah.

[mmichaelak]

49. Dateline - Jerry's world

News from the front.

"Democratic troops jumped off this morning before dawn to root out the Falwell insurgency in the hopes of establishing democratic elections in 2008."

more at 11.

[yellowcanine]

55. I guess sale of the "Clinton Chronicles" must have tanked after 2000.

And Kerry didn't get elected president so no money will be made off of slanderous videos about him.

So now the "rev" needs another way to separate his followers from their money.

Is this guy a slime ball or what?

[StElsewhere]

56. Televangelists= The Pro-Wrestlers of Religion

They're so cute when they're righteous but the ability to reason is of no use to a "true believer". Too bad there isn't an effective treatment for stupidity.

[callous taoboy]

57. Someone, please waft this fat fart

down to, say, Jonestown. Purple koolaide for all.

[Karna]

58. he'll not go to heaven so who cares

not worried about his ass

[partisan to truth]

62. pro-life spin spin spin... wonder if he's getting repuke $$ from this nt

[Steely_Dan]

64. Silly Man

[0007]

65. No we know what defeated John Kerry

Family Association; Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries, Dr. John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio; the many leaders of the Arlington Group; the "upstart, alternative" Internet news sites; and more than 225,000 evangelical pastors.

Do a google on John Hagee.

[Chovexani]

88. The weekend before the election

The weekend before the election I was watching the fundie channels on satellite because they always have some hilarious crap on about the evils of Halloween during that time of year. Not this year, it was CONSTANT "go vote" "why you should vote". They were very careful not to come right out and say vote for the chimp or vote against Kerry but every last one of those wack ass preachers was screaming about America was going to hell and this election was a chance for them to "save" it.

Scared the shit out of me. I guess it should have considering what happened.

[Supersedeas]

73. if this what fiscal Conservatives voted for?

[dave502d]

75. If Jerry Falwell get into Heaven,send me to hell. n/t

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

76. How can I say this nicely......

Fuck Falwell and the donkey he rode in on.

People getting rich on people's ignorance and superstitions has alway irked me.

Color me "elitist" here.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

77. That's right!

COME ON JERRY! Push it full force! Embrace the total nightmare! Go for it! Make divorce illegal! Make male masturbation illegal (spilling the seed and all)! Create an American Taliban! Tear this puppy up so that all the dipshits who voted for bush can see the FULL effect of what they rubber stamped!

I say the sooner the better, go whole hog Falwell. Spark that revolution and backlash!

Where's my popcorn?

Oh and everyone? Please team up with your gay brothers and sisters. They are going to need us. Hand them a gun or two, ok?

[Tsiyu]

94. Yes, we want shellfish and pork BBQ banned

We want stoning of unruly children.

We want priests to examine our homes for mildew ( kill two birds to clean the mildew).

We want the Year of the Jubilee, where every seven years all debt is forgiven and all fields lie fallow.

WE want men to go back to the punishment for Adam . Adam was supposed to earn his living by the sweat of his brow, not scarfing donuts in a suit in some air-conditioned office.

BRING BACK ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS! We'll see how fast the "faithful" drop from that program....

[DeadManInc]

78. Falwell

We need to get some stickers that say FUCK FALWELL.

[getoffmytrain]

82. Ugh...

What if no one shows up?

[Ravenseye]

83. Ugh, Jerry just shut up

i'm so sick of hearing about him. he's insane. Didn't he say god would kill him if he didn't raise enough money one time?

I don't look down on people who believe in god or jesus. I look down on people who believe in people like jerry falwell.

[Oreegone]

84. Ok I hate to say this but...

Time to bring back the old Falwell joke...

What 's the difference between Jerry Falwell and a jewel thief...

A Jewel thief snatches watches....


Ok for you too young he got caught getting a blow job in a pickup....right...does my memory serve me right???

[Viking12]

87. That would be "Radical Cleric Jerry Falwell" eom

[Bridget Burke]

89. Speak it, brother Falwell!

Preach long & loud so everyone who voted for Bush will know exactly what they've gotten into bed with. Hope he gets lots of coverage.

Of course, some of the Christian Reconstructionists are even scarier.

[DrZeeLit]

90. Evangelical Revolution = OXYMORON (emphasis on the MORON)

Anybody remember the... MORAL MAJORITY?
How about the SILENT MAJORITY?

Three strikes and YOU'RE OUT... JERRY!

Sheesh!

[Maestro]

91. These people disgust me

:puke:

[Moloch]

92. Don't be disgusted by them;

People like Jerry Fallwell, Pat Robertson, Roy Moore (The 10 Commandments Judge) and Fred Phelps (godhatesfags.com) are gifts to us.. In the eyes of thinking people, they make fundies look ridiculous.

[Hobo]

95. I though his title was

radical cleric Jerry Falwell

Hobo

[SemperEadem]

96. that's if he can find leaders who aren't as immoral as the ones

who were in the 'moral' majority of the 80's...

if they'd stop their whoremongering, adultery and lying long enough to act like they've heard of christianity and christian morals, then perhaps he'd have half a chance...

but they all fall short because their pride won't let them do otherwise...

besides, let them get this thing going and Larry Flynt will have a 300 page expose on their lecherousness---take the wind right out of their sails.

[ElementaryPenguin]

97. Another FISCALLY conservative pResident?? WTF???

The Chimperor spends government money like a drunken sailor!!

:wtf:

[NurseLefty]

99. Falwell can kiss my

:kick:
as well as the rest of the Christian Taliban!
What does Jesus really think of all of this?!
