Can anything be done on this "Family" of important people

[old mark]

who are told they are the elect of god? I saw a report on Maddow's show Thursday that members are told they literally can do no wrong and that the concept of morality was something invented by man to keep the masses of common folk (you and me) self-controlled, and does not apply to the elect, such as the congress and business biggies who make up the Family's membership. I want to find out how much of our national life these sick bastards actually run, and how can we start to shut this thing down....if that is even possible.....

1. Exposure

If more people knew what "the Family" believes about themselves, all but the most rabid right-wing nutjobs would vote against them. Secrecy has been their friend.

2. bizarre as hell, isn't it?

maybe we need a few good groups to run some information ads on these asswipes and inform the general public what these freaks are about.

7. I am just wondering if there will be some "secrets" they have that

would yield a legal reason to shut the whole group down...

This thing is crying out for a real investigation.

I really don't want my country to be run by maneally warped bastards like these people...they have had control long enough.

3. Keep pounding it home, every time one of these freaks runs for anything

that they think "morals" are for the little people, not them.

They are the chosen by God to be the leaders.

The very definition of "elite".

6. Has anyone brought Nietsche into the debate yet?

The way you describe the family, it's almost as if Nietsche's advocating of the "Herrenmoral" has been revisited.

5. Rachel has "outed" them

She's doing a pretty good job of exposing them, I think the cat's out of the bag now, their wives will be hauling them home by their ears! GO RACHEL! Sick bastards they are!

8. For those who have not seen the show, can you name names please? NT

9. I think Rachel's just scratching the surface,

and I hope she continues to dig.

In my opinion, there's way more than just the sexual scandals that are going to bring this organization down.

Someone mentioned upthread the Telecom issue that Pickering was involved in. Also, if I remember correctly, when the Ensign affair broke, looking at his family tree showed that his step father is a big player in the Vegas casino industry. I would look to see if there's legislation either sponsored or supported by Ensign relating to gambling.

I think there's a whole lot there that isn't here yet.

I really do hope Rachel keeps up with this and continues looking beyond the "religious" aspect.

10. Hope this doesn't start a war...

I seem to remember something about Hillary belonging to "The Family" last year during the primaries. Was there anything to that?

11. There was an article stating as much in The Nation.

It never became big news, though, I don't think.
