Group Wants Christians To Fill S.C., Secede

[bluedawg12]

Fringe group watch.
By bluedawg12

These folks are new but getting quite a bit of press. I think Jon Stewart’s Daily show interviews one of the CE people who moved his family from Pa. to S.C.

Keep an eye on this group. Tie in with aggrieved confederate hold outs, RubyRidge anti- government folks, and people who hate gays in the name of the Lord.

WELCOME TO THE CHRISTIAN EXODUS

ChristianExodus.org is coordinating the move of thousands of Christians to South Carolina for the express purpose of re-establishing Godly, constitutional government. 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 Christians to withdraw our consent from the current federal government and re-introduce the Christian principles once so predominant in America to a sovereign State like South Carolina.

THE PROBLEM

Christians have actively tried to return the United States to their moral foundations for more than 30 years. We now have a "Christian" president, a "Christian" attorney general, and a Republican Congress and Supreme Court. Yet consider this:

Abortion continues against the wishes of many States
Sodomite marriage is now legal in Massachusetts (and coming soon to a neighborhood near you)
Children who pray in public schools are subject to prosecution 1
Our schools continue to teach the discredited theory of Darwinian evolution
The Bible is still not welcome in schools except under unconstitutional FEDERAL guidelines
The 10 Commandments remain banned from public display
Sodomy is now legal AND celebrated as "diversity" rather than condemned as perversion
Preaching Christianity will soon be outlawed as "hate speech" 1 2

http://www.southernnationalist.org/christian_exodus.htm

We have discussed and advocated here that any movement toward reestablishing our birthright of freedom must begin with a reconnection with Southern Core Values. The meager plan presented here describes what is required.


A Free (and Christian) South Carolina?

Group Wants Christians To Fill S.C., Secede
http://www.wdsu.com/family/3403144/detail.html
“... newly-formed group of Christian activists has begun plans to encourage up to 12,000 like-minded individuals to move to South Carolina. Their hope is to eventually withdraw that state from the United States and "reestablish the sovereign Christian nation of South Carolina."

1. Thanks for the heads up

this is fascinating and disturbing.

But SC is so hot and humid. I say we just give it to them.

Okay, maybe it isn't so funny I ought not to joke. What a bunch of creeps. Yikes.

[Jack from Charlotte]

38. The only negative I can think of....

do I need a passport to drive through on my way to Florida? Or will I have to drive around? Also, maybe Coach Spurrier wolud bust out and go to a more civilised state.

[Yupster]

60. But it's been done already

Don't they remember it didn't work out too well last time?

Been there, done that, got the butternut tee-shirt.

[marbuc]

2. I like South Carolina

I wish the fundies would move to Idaho with all the other racist, homophobic freaks.

[liberalitch]

3. PLEASE GO!!!!!! for God's sake!

They'd better not fucking apply for humanitarian aid from the US!

[renie408]

28. HEY!! Let them come live in YOUR state!!

SC has enough problems. We have the 'yard ape' guy, remember??

[liberalitch]

33. They already do.... we got pat robertson.....

y'all take him for a while.
on edit.... they go there.... you come here..... see?

[adigal]

41. Come move to NY - it really is beautiful!!

We have seasons, we have beaches, NJ beaches are close, we have the most beautiful, breathtaking autumn you can ever imagine, we have great skiing, and beautiful, incredibly green springs. Plus, we will get rid of all of our wingnuts, so we will have universal health care, rights for women, minorities and gays, FAIR taxes for all, and a Dem for president.

Think about it - it might not be so bad.

[youthere]

57. South Carolina is too pretty...

let's give them Nebraska-it's landlocked so we can surround them-it make persecuting them so much more convenient.:bounce:

[WoodrowFan]

4. is that a CRESCENT on their flag!

horrors!

Seriously, I've herad of these yahoos. Can we ship a whole lotta Virginians down ther,e please?

[trogdor]

31. The crescent and palmetto tree are from the current state flag.

[WoodrowFan]

36. I know

I was thinking about the RWers freaking over the Flt 93 memorial because from about it forms a crescent.

[I Have A Dream]

52. Maybe Santorum will move there after he loses in '06.

Oh please, please let it happen!

[catnhatnh]

5. I feel bad for the Good Folks of South Carolina....

...but am almost forced to secretly wish these wackos succeed,AND secede....if THIS is an example of the type of people the US will "lose", then let the Balkanization begin...

[calimary]

16. Yeah, I know how that is...

Might be nice to have them all set up in their own little country. Maybe they'd feel better. I know I certainly would. They could run the whole damned thing their way and have as much religious persecution and fanaticism as they wanted. They could turn back the clock to the 13th century, or maybe even farther back - like to the 6th or 7th century? Hell, why stop there? They could go even farther back and demonstrate to us how the dinosaurs really did share space with everybody and everything else on Noah's arc and how everybody, including the dinosaurs, was a vegetarian in the Garden of Eden. Lord Have Mercy! There REALLY would finally be a "Jesusland."

[Deep13]

6. Inject some facts:

"Abortion continues against the wishes of many States"
The 14th Amend. is law regardless of what state government wants.

"Sodomite marriage is now legal in Massachusetts (and coming soon to a neighborhood near you)"
Doubtful that it will be accepted outside of MA. Even so, so what if it is. No one is forcing it on them.

"Children who pray in public schools are subject to prosecution"
False. This is not true and never as been. It is officially orcestrated prayer that is disallowed and only in public schools. The writer violates the 9th Commandment.

"Our schools continue to teach the discredited theory of Darwinian evolution "
Evolution is a proven fact. It is only discredited by those who refuse to accept it. Accept it or not, it happened.

"The Bible is still not welcome in schools except under unconstitutional FEDERAL guidelines "
Which are what?? If those 'guidelines' mean the 1st Amend., then that is the law. Anyway doesn't St. Paul's letter to the Romans require these people to submit to lawful authority? The Bible is allowed in public schools as an example of literature or mythology, but not as scientific fact.

"The 10 Commandments remain banned from public display"
False. Only state sponsored displays designed to promote a religious purpose are banned.

"Sodomy is now legal AND celebrated as "diversity" rather than condemned as perversion"
Hallalujia!

"Preaching Christianity will soon be outlawed as "hate speech""
False. Of course urging people to kill 'fags' is still inciting violence.

[Larkspur]

7. Why don't we ship them off to Jim Jones old camp?

This way they won't have to secede from the US.

[Deep13]

8. Yes, loose the wackos, keep the real estate!

[Bzzzz]

56. Could we...

get that lucky???

[Agnomen]

9. We changed our minds -

go ahead and secede!

[DU9598]

11. Can we donate to help their cause?

I will personally fill offer my services to the first ten Iowa families who wish to leave.

[trogdor]

32. I have a house down there I can sell cheap.

[adigal]

42. I will donate $100 to ten families for gas money LOL!!!

[DemoTex]

10. Like the LTTE in the Greenville, SC, paper said (a few weeks back) ..

We don't want you .. all three of you.

[kestrel91316]

12. Let's invade Easter Island, throw out the Chileans or whoever owns it

now, and let them all go live there. It would be heaven to them, I am sure. They could spend the first year bashing and destroying all the statues, and then get down to business stoning all their insufficiently religious folks to death with the remnants.

And because the trees have all been cut down, nobody will be able to do anything in private, so the nosy busybodies will be able to make sure there is no hanky-panky going on.

[RethugAssKicker]

13. reconnection with Southern Core Values ?

I assume he means racist values?

[bluedawg12]

14. coppulators...or is it copulites...secede from the world.

Gosh, I love the power of language and note how it reveals the bias of the speaker.

I mean, what's up with this sodomites thing? Yea, I know, Genesis, some place called S&G, Lot's (not Trent's) wife turns to salt.

Yea, I know Pharaoh and slavery was the norm and you know...this is the 21st century and I don't care ... so give up the quaint faux biblical language you separatist copulites, you.

[mmonk]

15. Alright by me

That way, we can reinstute rights lost in the US and protect those rights along with the ones we have left. They would be out of the picture.

[Gemini Cat]

17. Didn't we fight a war over this??

Dammit. I refuse to let the fundies have the beaches of SC.
Why don't they move to Utah or hell or some other unpleasent place?

[Deep13]

18. They can have Cleveland.

:evilgrin:

Let's see if Grandma still has those blue suits in the attic.

[Nederland]

19. I thought SC did this once already?

My recollection is that it didn't go so well...

[QC]

20. This is very, very, very old news.

It gets posted here every week or so.

[Bridget Burke]

48. Does get a bit boring.

And we keep reminding the posters that South Carolina already tried to secede. It didn't work out.

This century, most of the South Carolinians won't go along.

[QC]

58. And this Christian Exodus group is based in California,

which no one seems to want to talk about. Give them Fresno and let them secede.

[driver8]

21. Why don't we give them Florida?? Then, when a hurricane wipes

out their little Christian enclave, we don't have to pay to re-build it.

Also, take away Florida's electoral votes. While we are at it, let's give them Ohio, too.

[Lochloosa]

22. Would you leave your child alone with this man?

[Tabasco_Dave]

35. He looks like Boogie Boy from Devo n/t

[Arugula Latte]

53. Looks like a molester to me.

He also looks like he stepped out of 1958.

[raccoon]

23. If this happens, I wonder if we could set up a non-profit

organization to help relocate those in SC who don't want to live in Jesusland (like me) to somewhere else.

[junkiebrewster]

25. Don't worry about it...

If there's one thing us South Carolinians hate, it's people coming from out of state to tell us what to do, even if we agree with them. We tend to call them "Yankee Agitators" or "carpet baggers." These nuts will not be welcome here.

I do like the idea of giving them Florida.

[raccoon]

29. Nevada. Give them Nevada.

There should be enough going on in Vegas to keep them worked up 24/7.

What part of SC do you live in?

[junkiebrewster]

34. Clemson / Upstate

I grew up in Columbia and lived in Greenville for a few years. Now, I reside in Clemson, aka The belly of the Beast.

[Coexist]

24. Sorry - not willing to give them any beautiful coastline

make them go somewhere else.

[renie408]

26. Aw,shit. I LIVE in SC...

Why can't the freaks go to Georgia?

[SheepyMcSheepster]

27. they must hate our freedoms. eom

[Contrary1]

30. We should cram all of the Fundies

and die-hard Bushies into the most Repub/Conservative state in the nation...

and then build a big wall.

[Iris]

37. Has a child EVER been prosecute for praying in school?

Jesus God. Let these people have SC. We'll see them crying to the gov't in about 50 years when that tiny state is WAY over-populated.

[adigal]

39. Oh, God, please let all the fundies move to SC

and then secede - and then we can regain sanity in the other 49 states! I would love if the born agains who taught my son that the earth is only 6000 years old and that dinosaurs roamed the earth with people (the dinosaurs were vegans) 3000 years ago, my ex-friends who are VERY strict Catholics, and all of my in-laws would all move to South Carolina.

This is the best idea I have heard in years - we should have let them secede the first time.

[CatholicEdHead]

40. I have seen this a few times already

I doubt they will succeed. There are other sucession groups in other parts of the country and they also have gotten nowhere.

[TNMOM]

43. I'm good with that. It'll give the terrarists a clean target.

eom.

[bluedawg12]

44. Did you see these guys on the daily show tonight?

The founder is still in California.

And only six have moved to S.C.- still, it points to the separation in our country. See how many liberals or gays would get the same help relocating there from locals ?

Disenchanted people looking for utopia.

[junkiebrewster]

45. Actually

Liberals and gays would be fine in Columbia and Charleston. Rural areas, gays would have a hard time but liberals would still be fine. You'd be surprised at the amount of old hill-billy hippies that reside in rural areas.

Having said that, this state is still extremely red. It's my home, though, so I'm not ready to give up on it.

[warrior1]

46. Instead of taking SC

away from the United States, just leave the country if you don't like it.

[leesa]

47. How about a space shuttle to mars? We could tell them it's the Rapture

Shuttle.

[npincus]

49. They can have Utah

[paineinthearse]

50. This was on Daily Show Wednesday (?) night

See Stephen Colbert's (?) interview with a Pennsylvania man who was moving there.

Checked the video archives, not there yet - http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/

[bluedawg12]

51. This was on the daily show Thursday night

It was funny, the leader was on the phone--still in California, maybe exodusing in two years. what maroons.

[Blackwater]

54. Again...?

[paineinthearse]

55. Blackwater

Welcome to DU

:hi:

[bluedawg12]

59. I guess a conservative WH, Congress and soon Supreme

Court is not enough for these people--they need more hate and division in this coutnry. Good bye american taliban.
