Strategizing a Christian Coup d'Etat

A group of believers wants to establish Scriptures-based government one city and county at a time.

At a time when evangelicals are exerting influence on the national political stage - having helped secure President Bush's reelection - Christian Exodus believes that people of faith have failed to assert their moral agenda: Abortion is legal. School prayer is banned. There are limits on public displays of the Ten Commandments. Gays and lesbians can marry in Massachusetts.

Christian Exodus activists plan to take control of sheriff's offices, city councils and school boards. Eventually, they say, they will control South Carolina. They will pass godly legislation, defying Supreme Court rulings on the separation of church and state.

"We're going to force a constitutional crisis," said Cory Burnell, 29, an investment advisor who founded the group in November 2003.

"If necessary," he said, "we will secede from the union."

After scrutinizing electoral records, demographic trends and property prices, Christian Exodus members identified two upstate South Carolina counties - they will not officially say which ones - as prime for a conservative takeover. By September 2006, Burnell hopes to have 2,000 activists in one county and 500 in the other.

1. this is no joking matter

They are doing this.
only sane people, willing to stand up to them and call them what they really are, can stop them.
Our politicians, especially many Dems, are unwilling or unable to do so.

6. LA Times web site has this story titled 'strategizing a coup d'etat'

Its ludicrous. Its one thing to take over a school board. Its a longer stretch to take over county government. To take over an entire state? Sure. And if you believe that, you might want to take a look at this bridge I am offering.

7. school boards have POWER and so do election boards

that's one of the ways the bushgang snuck in and did their dirtywork

8. The school boards count ballots?
