Falwell, Robertson, Jones, and any other televangist. I'm calling

[Skidmore]

you out. Step forward and tell me how these people that are literally in hysteria in Florida are serving God. Tell me how letting an infant die in Texas or ignoring the deaths of 10 people in Minnesota consistutes fostering a "culture of life". Go on record on these issues. I hear no condemnation of those who issue death threats or pleas for calm for your followers from any of you. Where is the courage of your convictions? Are you only able to spout righteous condemnations of others when the polls are 80%-20% in your favor and can garner you wealth in your tills? Such fine protectors of faith. Modern day Pharisees and hypocrites sitting by the gates like harlots. Christ would have driven you all from the temple.

2. Call them "Radical Clerics" or "Fundamentalist Extremists"

Or "Fundamentalist Extremest Radical Clerics". Here is an example, used in a complete sentence:

"Radical Cleric James Dobson issued a Fatwa on Sponge Bob Square Pants for allegedly promoting the non-hatred of homosexuals."

3. They have the courage of their convictions, but their

convictions are misguided, many times willfully.

Lovers of money and divisiveness.

Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

6. Essential Strategic Background Info on these Dangerous Extremists

Radical Fundamentalist Clerics such as Falwell, Dobson et al are not merely medieval throwbacks or misguided religious hacks. They are part of a well organized subversionary movement known as "Dominionism". Dominionism constitutes a serious threat to American Democracy.

Dobson and other Fundamentalist Radical Clerics like Falwell and Robertson are planning and executing a coup to gradually replace the free, secular democratic society of the United States with a Theocracy. This plan has been spelled out in detail by other radical clerics and is called "Dominionism".

It is critical that people become aware of the extreme agenda these people have for the United States and ultimately for the world. The results of the 2004 election were not a fluke or something that was drummed up over a period of months. It has been in planning for over 20 years, and what we are seeing now is, in the words of Katherine Yurica, "the swift advance of a planned coup".

The articles below are critical for understanding the Dominionist movement and for realizing how real and how detailed their plans are, and how far they have come toward achieving their goals.

7. these people are in the business of religion . . .

whatever brings in the dollars is what they preach . . .

[Maestro]

8. These people are far from religious

except to say that they are religious opportunists. They use religion to make their money. Your analogy that they are the Pharisees is correct. They are money-grubbing, political opportunists that just happen to invoke Christ and God to fool their followers into making them millionaires. What makes me more disgusted is the fact that so many give them a voice including the MSM and the brainwashed idiots that follow them.
