Christians plan Exodus to So. Carolina to take over state government!

[cyberpj]

WELCOME TO THE CHRISTIAN EXODUS

ChristianExodus.org is moving thousands of Christians to South Carolina to reestablish constitutionally limited government founded upon Christian principles. This includes the return to South Carolina of all "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States." 1 It is evident that the U.S. Constitution has been abandoned under our current federal system, and the efforts of Christian activism to restore our Godly republic have proven futile over the past three decades. The time has come for Christian Constitutionalists to protect our American principles in a State like South Carolina by interposing the State's sovereign authority retained under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

And of course, FOX is covering it:
Christian Exodus Planned For South Carolina

July 14, 2005, 05:43 PM

"I think it's fantastic, I think we need more of that actually. I don't know which direction our government is heading in, but I think they need Christian influence, it would go a long way, I really think so," says Mauldin resident, Reggie Brown.

Plans to reform our government to more Christian-like principals are in the works and we may feel the effects, right here in the Upstate. That is because South Carolina has been chosen as the place for hundreds, even thousands of Christians to move to, in hopes of impacting the government. But people who live here have mixed opinions about the Christian Exodus.

7. Good one. And Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Smarmie Doofus]

When they say "constitutionally limited government"....

they mean "government in which the constitution is limited".


And what's this about "taking over the gov't of SC"? Like they haven't done that already?

[cyberpj]

8. I wondered about that.

I thought they meant government strictly by the constitution --but that would leave interpretation up to THEM.

[Todd B]

3. Just asking, but..

Isn't plotting against the government or planning a coup some sort of treasonous action?

[Chipper Chat]

4. I can just see the smirking glee on the faces of..

Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson as all gays are burned at the stake in downtown Charleston.

[Mountainman]

5. What are the going to do for jobs? Work in textile mills?

Thousands of unemployed xians moving to a poor state with no jobs all waiting in the unemployment office to remake the state into a fundamentalist fascist outpost.

Yeah right.

9. Everyone will work in the tax-free Christian business of propaganda

and trinket sales.

6. And people got upset over the humorous "Nuevo California" letter:

Subject: Dear Red States

We're ticked off at the way you've treated California, and we've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us.

In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.We get stem cell research and the best beaches.We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay.

We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand.We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.

We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds ofthe tax revenue, you get to make the red states paytheir fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch ofhappy families. You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be prochoice and antiwar and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water,more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.

By the way, we're taking the good pot, too.

You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico.

Sincerely,
Author Unknown in New California

10. You've just got to see their statements at this link:

Christian Exodus Statement of Intent:

ChristianExodus.org is an association of Christians who no longer wish to live under the unjust usurpation of powers by the federal government, and therefore resolves to formally disassociate itself from this tyrannical authority, and return to the model of governance of a constitutional republic. We seek a republican government constrained by constitutionally delegated powers. If this cannot be achieved within the United States, then we believe a peaceful withdrawal from the union to be the last available remedy.

The rest is amazing - check it out:

11. If only we could get them all to move to some desert island.

They could start their own country. They could take all the gun nuts, survivalists and clinic bombers with 'em.

Must have taken too many cranky pills this morning.

[zalinda]

13. Bet they wouldn't move

all the talk about independence is garbage. The first time they get in trouble they go to the government for a hand out, and they couldn't do it if they weren't connected to the US.

All these whackos, including Libertarians crack me up. They want to get rid of government so badly but don't see that we USE the government everyday. Paved streets, safe buildings, safe food, crime prevention, fire prevention, libraries, schools and the list goes on. Everyone seems to take for granted what the government does for us. All I want for the government is to be honest, frugal and sane, is that too much to ask?

17. You're right, for sure. They wouldn't know how to be independent.

They wouldn't have a clue how to handle the basic infrastructure or how to fund it.

Perhaps you recall, back in the 80's, when the Aryan Nations decided to make northern Idaho it's "homeland" with the intent of creating an all-white Pacific Northwest... that didn't turn out too well either.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

12. Didn't SC already start and lose one war over "States Rights."

"The South shall rise again," and if God is involved I hope he helps us all.

[iconoclastic cat]

14. So long!

:hi:

[Eastside Blue]

15. While I feel for the rest of the people in So. Carolina ...

A large-scale version of this would certainly help in the Electoral College :evilgrin:

[rexcat]

16. You would think that South Carolinians would have...

learned their lesson after the Civil War in 1865. Secession does not work in this country!

[donco6]

18. They haven't already???

"ChristianExodus.org is moving thousands of Christians to South Carolina to reestablish constitutionally limited government founded upon Christian principles."

They're gonna have to fight the Christian fundies who already HAVE control of S. Carolina. That should be fun! Will they sell tickets?
