Moore loses one supporter
The dominionist plan is frightening.

Moore campaign loses support of talk show host
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
THOMAS SPENCER
Birmingham News staff writer
A Christian talk show host from Mobile who sued to reinstate Roy Moore after he was ousted as Alabama's chief justice has decided not to support Moore's run for governor.


Kelly McGinley says that some of Moore's prominent supporters are "dominionists" who wish to bring about a government based on Old Testament law, which would administer the death penalty for offenses ranging from homosexuality to talking back to your parents.

McGinley said that although she loves Moore and his family and has spent a lot of time with them, she fears his election could set in motion cataclysmic events.

It would set up a showdown between the state and federal government, leading to an invasion by the feds and resistance by Alabamians, McGinley said. The conflict would serve as the pretext for a government imposition of a manmade version of Biblical law, McGinley believes.

She links Moore, the Republican Party, the Council for National Policy, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Masons in a conspiratorial web.

"It is too extreme for the likes of me," McGinley said. "It is pretty interesting that our primary is on 6/6/06."

McGinley said she is a Christian but doesn't want to see a theocracy and believes violence is contrary to Christian teaching.

Efforts to reach the Moore campaign were not successful.

In 2003, McGinley sued in federal court claiming that her federal due process and voting rights were violated when the non-elected state Court of the Judiciary removed Moore from office for ethics violations. A judge threw out the lawsuit.

In 2004, McGinley was blocked by the Republican party from running for the state school board seat representing Mobile, Baldwin and Escambia counties. McGinley was disqualified because of her support for the Constitution Party on her talk show. Her show is broadcast on one station in Alabama, a couple of small stations across the country and over the Internet.

Moore made appearances last year with the Constitution Party's presidential candidate.
