Neocons Legislating Christianity = Christian Reich
It's time to define these bastards and take aim at a movement that not only chips away at our civil rights, but also at the very religion that it attempts to proliferate.

It's time to unmask the Neocons that are wearing the veil of moral divinity to define itself, but the real picture it not being seen.

While these self-righteous do-gooders parade their Jesus fish emblems on their cars and tighten up their red, white, and blue blindfolds, others see the truth ... that blind faith in your government or in anything will get you killed.

Ruling the land with the same kind of blind faith as religion, but without that religion's values and substance is reminiscent of all the failed and dark empires that have laid waste to hundreds of thousands of innocent lives.

It's time to recognize the Neocon Conservative Republican Christian movement for what it is … a dark entity using religion as a tool to meet a political end.

From this day foreword this entity should be properly referred to as …

THE CHRISTIAN REICH

Their motto:

CONCEDE, CONFORM, COMPLY

Their mission statement for the United States:

Suppression of moral diversity
Suppression of speech
Suppression of thought
Suppression of religious freedom

The mark that should adorn their cause:



Fear them, know them, fight them.

Label them when you see them. Only through through their unveiling can Democracy be ensured.

2. "Neocons" aren't all that Christian, really
I think the religious right is a different element of the Republican party.

3. I need to know who you are calling "neo-cons" in this thread.
The term is simply too vague and does not define by name who these people are.

Who are these neocons that are the enemy?

7. Who would Jesus approve of?
I know Jesus would not approve of religion being used as a tool to meet a political end.

Didn't he say give onto Caesar what is Caesar's, and give onto God, what is God's?

For a person to USE religion as a tool to meet a political end neither benifits religion or politics, it brings them both down.

It truely makes me ill to see what's going on right now.

Think back to the early 80s and where TV preachers were. Most people laughed at them and knew how disturbing it was to see people profiting by using religion and fear to squeeze money out of people.

But take that mentality, shake off the terrible Leisure Suit Larry suits and the blue beehive hairdos, mix in blind patriotism, conjure up images of Eisenhower Republican politics and Neocons manipulation, and you have the Christian Reich movement.

Neocons (which are power hungry greed mongers hiding under a Republican veil) running waving crosses and the American flag ARE dangerous.

The Neocons are the true problem, but the cancer that they've successfully injected into the Christian Right has truely warped them into believing that they need to legislate their beliefs. The Neocons have pushed the Christian Right from spreading the word of God to legislating the word of God.

It's really a cancer of sorts ... one that can absolutely spread through the masses. Mob rule can not be allowed to happen.

Can ANYONE imagine if the issue of slavery were put on the ballot and decided by vote. If Lincoln said, "Lets vote on it, instead of going to war."

African-Americans would be slaves today. At that period of time most Americans (sadly) would have voted for slavery.

Sadly, more and more Americans (through blind patriotism and blind faith) are having their emotions and faith manipulated to serve the Neocons that have hijacked the Republican Party. These Neocons (such as those from the PNAC) have successfully transformed the Christian Right into a Christian Reich that, for the most part, has gone unchecked and unquestioned.

Those of us that have questioned them might as well be a lone voice in the nose bleed seats at OzzFest telling people to insist on a refund. No one would hear, or see any reason to try. Hey, the music is good, what else matters.

The Christian Reich is no Ozzfest and is a hell of a lot more damaging than Ozzy could ever be.

Give me Ozzy and Judas Priest any day, to hell w/ Pat Robertson.

The masses must see the Christian Reich movement for what it is and see what it is doing to their religion. How it's FAILING the unborn child by banking solely on turning over Roe v Wade, instead of emphasising WHY a young girl would choose abortion. Instead they REALLY believe that people CARE whether the big brother CONDONES abortion.

The Christian Reich is a cancer that is eating away at the very values and principles that made this country great. It if continues to proliferate it ruin this country.



Label them, stop them, fight them.
