US Military Coordinated Day of Prayer Events With Christian Right Group
2008-05-03 07:20:00 by Jason Leopold At least half-a-dozen active-duty military officials have been working closely with a task force headed by the far-right fundamentalist Christians planning religious events at military installations around the country to commemorate Thursday’s National Day of Prayer. In working directly with the National Day of Prayer (NDP) Task Force and agreeing to work as event coordinators, these military officials not only violated constitutional provisions governing the separation of church and state but they also signed an oath that states they “believe that the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of The Living God” and that “Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only One by which I can obtain salvation and have an ongoing relationship with God,” according to materials posted on NDP Task Force’s website. Furthermore, the declaration signed by the military officials says that they promise to “ensure a strong, consistent Christian message throughout the natio...
McCain Adviser Calls Christian Right a Serious Problem
2008-03-20 05:33:00 John McCain has had mixed relations with the religious right. He’s forced to pander them for votes, but deep down he probably does not like them any more than he did in 2000 when he said “Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, ...

1995 Barack Obama: Mean, Cruel Times, Christian Right - Narrow Minded
2008-03-07 16:00:00 If Lambchop wants concrete reasons I suggest he read some of Barack Obama's rhetoric from his past: 1995 Barack Obama: Mean, Cruel Times, Christian Right - Narrow Minded - As reported by NewsBusters earlier, Michelle Obama debased America by characterizing it as a mean nation of ?cynics, sloths, and complacents?. Although this sort of talk is becoming a theme for Michelle-O she wasn?t the first Obama to call America mean. A similar sentiment was echoed by Barack Obama in 1995 as he tried to rally the African-American vote for his Senate run after the Million Man March.

Ayatollah Huckabee Condemns US Constitution with new Fatwa
2008-01-16 05:29:00 Informed Comment Mike Huckabee says he wants to amend the US constitution to bring it into line with the divinely revealed law of the living God: "I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."
Huckabee the Wacko Right WingNut
2007-12-29 18:35:00 Informed Comment Mike Huckabee is a smooth-talking, fanatical country preacher who has learned to make himself likeable on camera but who spews all kinds of hateful nonsense when among like-minded devotees. The dark side of Huckabee, the anti-science and anti-gay side of Huckabee, and the anti-Palestinian genocidal side of Huckabee, are all more more dangerous than the incompetent fool side of Huckabee, but the latter is pretty dangerous, too. The incompetent fool side was on full display in his remarks, apparently provoked by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, about the alleged threat of illegal Pakistani immigration into the United States. He actually thundered about 660 persons, claiming that the Pakistanis came right after Latinos in the ranks of illegals. He also seemed to think that building a wall around Mexico would keep out Pakistanis (the illegals among whom likely mostly just overstayed their visas and landed at LaGuardia). [..]Huckabee's first response to Benazir...
Huckabee: A Wife Should Graciously Submit
2007-12-12 17:41:00 Daily Kos Huckabee's opinion on gay marriage is out there, but we should also be publicizing Huckabee's opinions on heterosexual marriage. Specifically, what he believes about a women's role in a marriage. In August of 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full page USA Today Ad which declared: "I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention." What was in the family statement from the SBC? "A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ." The ad wasn't just a blanket, "we support the SBC statement," but rather highlighted details. The ad Huckabee signed specifically said of the SBC family statement: "You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership." Add "graciously submit" to his "Take back the nation for Christ" statement, and if the media does its job, he's well on his way to b...

Huckabee Is a Liar, A Christian Right Wingnut
2007-12-09 05:02:00 Clearly, Huckabee intervened to get a convicted rapist released. After all the victim was a relation to Clinton and the Parole Board were Democrat appointees. Except DuMond was guilty and after Huckabee got him released, he went on to rape and murder another woman. Meanwhile, Huckabee insists he had nothing to do with getting him released. The parole board members disagree. Also in this article is a story that Huckabee advocated interning AIDs victims and called homosexuals dangerous. New York Times As new polls highlight Mike Huckabee?s ascent in the Republican presidential field, he is drawing new scrutiny of his record in Arkansas, particularly his actions in the release of a convicted rapist who went on to murder a woman and his response to a questionnaire in which he said people with AIDS should be quarantined. Two former parole board members in Arkansas said yesterday that as governor, Mr. Huckabee met with the board in 1996 to lobby them to release the convicted rapist,...

A Sad and Scary Day for the World
2007-11-30 18:38:00 There are some days that I'm afraid that a clash of civilizations can't be avoided. Today is one of those days. I'm profoundly sad and angry that anyone would dare stoke the fires of religious intolerance, especially from a country that has in it's Bill of Rights freedom of religion. Yet, an entire political party panders to religious hatred. Worse yet, Democratic candidates kowtow to the Israeli lobby, the source of tremendous acrimony towards the west. The world is truly insane. CNN.com Hundreds of angry protesters, some waving ceremonial swords from trucks equipped with loud speakers, gathered Friday outside the presidential palace to denounce a teacher whose class named a teddy bear "Mohammed" -- some calling for her execution. The protesters, which witnesses said numbered close to 1,000, swore to fight in the name of their prophet. Gillian Gibbons, 54, was given 15 days in jail late Thursday after she was convicted of insulting religion. She was cleared of charges of i...
Huckabee Is a Racist
2007-11-28 15:21:00 There is something very scary about the Christian Right wing. They have managed to incorporate Christian Theocracy, Social Darwinism, racisim, anti-abortionists, and pro-rich financial policies into a package largely bought by blue collar voters. If there is an anti-Christ. It will emerge from this unholy coalition. Huckabee pitches to lead these extremists into the White House again. CNN.com Speaking before a gathering of Christian conservative voters, GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said legalized abortion in the United States was a holocaust. "Sometimes we talk about why we're importing so many people in our workforce," the former Arkansas governor said. "It might be for the last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973."

Guiliani, the Rapture Candidate
2007-11-07 19:05:00 Not surprisingly, Pat Robertson the Republican candidate most likely to bring him the rapture he dreams and speaks about. World War III including Iran is Robertson's most fervent wish. This wacko thinks he'll go straight to heaven. New York Times Blog The televangelist Pat Robertson endorsed Rudolph W. Giuliani today at the National Press Club in Washington, providing the former New York City Mayor with a big symbolic boost as he tries to allay the concerns of Christian conservatives about his candidacy. The endorsement by Mr. Robertson could have some impact because of Mr. Robertson?s clout through the Christian Broadcasting Network, where Mr. Giuliani can deliver a central argument of his candidacy: that the threat of terrorism is too important and should outweigh voters? concerns about his stand on abortion. [..]To me, the overriding issue before the American people is the defense of our population from the blood lust of Islamic terrorists.

An Open Letter to the Christian Right
2007-11-01 01:42:00 by Robert Weitzel I am writing to you because you are my last hope. Let’s understand each other. I am an atheist. I believe that if all fundamentalist religions disappeared tomorrow, we would be in a better place the day after. That said, I think it’s possible for atheists and the Christian right to put aside our mutual antipathy and join in common cause to protect the sanctity of human life. The idea for this unlikely collaboration came from a recent New York Times op-ed piece written by James Dobson of Focus on the Family. He wrote about a meeting in Salt Lake City at which he and fifty other Christian right leaders voted unanimously to join in supporting a minor-party candidate “if neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life . . ..” In the 35 years since Roe v. Wade made abortion legal, your side has been tireless, some would say ruthless, in the defense of the sanctity of potential life. Alo...

Papal Meddling in Politics: Voting, Abortion, and Worthiness to Receive Hol
2007-10-19 19:14:00 Papal Letter Regarding the grave sin of abortion or euthanasia, when a person?s formal cooperation becomes manifest (understood, in the case of a Catholic politician, as his consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws), his Pastor should meet with him, instructing him about the Church?s teaching, informing him that he is not to present himself for Holy Communion until he brings to an end the objective situation of sin, and warning him that he will otherwise be denied the Eucharist. When "these precautionary measures have not had their effect or in which they were not possible," and the person in question, with obstinate persistence, still presents himself to receive the Holy Eucharist, "the minister of Holy Communion must refuse to distribute it" (cf. Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts Declaration "Holy Communion and Divorced, Civilly Remarried Catholics" [2002], nos. 3-4). This decision, properly speaking, is not a sanction or a penalty. ...
Building God's (Christian) Army
2007-10-19 19:05:00 AlterNet At Speicher base in Iraq, U.S. Army Spec. Jeremy Hall got permission from a chaplain in August to post fliers announcing a meeting for atheists and other nonbelievers. When the group gathered, Specialist Hall alleges, his Army major supervisor disrupted the meeting and threatened to retaliate against him, including blocking his reenlistment in the Army. Months earlier, Hall charges, he had been publicly berated by a staff sergeant for not agreeing to join in a Thanksgiving Day prayer. On Sept. 17, the soldier and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) filed suit against Army Maj. Freddy Welborn and US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, charging violations of Hall's constitutional rights, including being forced to submit to a religious test to qualify as a soldier. The MRFF plans more lawsuits in coming weeks, says Michael "Mikey" Weinstein, who founded the military watchdog group in 2005. The aim is "to show there is a pattern and practice of constitutionally...

The religious right's political power ebbs
2007-10-01 21:04:00 McClatchy Washington Bureau Palm Sunday two years ago was a glorious day for Christian conservatives. A president who'd proclaimed Jesus his favorite philosopher was racing back from vacation to sign a bill rushed through a compliant Congress at their bidding ? a last-minute gamble to keep alive a severely brain-damaged woman in Florida. That, however, was the peak of the Christian conservatives' political power. Today, their nearly three-decade-long ascendance in the Republican Party is over. Their loyalties and priorities are in flux, the organizations that gave them political muscle are in disarray, the high-profile preachers who led them to influence through the 1980s and 1990s are being replaced by a new generation that's less interested in their agenda and their hold on politics and the 2008 Republican presidential nomination is in doubt. "Less than four years after declarations that the Religious Right had taken over the Republican Party, these social conservatives seem...

The Constitution Party Seeks to Dismantle Our Form of Government
2007-09-09 04:18:00 AlterNet Ousted Alabama judge Roy Moore is waging war on church-state separation -- and you won't believe the far-out folks who are helping him. Most lawyers and other Americans, says Roy Moore, don't understand the First Amendment's church-state provisions because they've "been indoctrinated in something that is not true." Speaking at a "God & Country Patriotic Celebration & Conference" in Maryland in July, Moore claimed law professors and judges are leading people astray. ...Just before the Fourth of July, he wound up as the main attraction at a Religious Right gathering in Severn, Md., where he and a string of far-right activists peddled "Christian nation" rhetoric, bashed Islam, belittled American culture and the federal government and displayed an alarming affinity for the neo-Confederate states' rights cause. On the conference's first day during a panel discussion dubbed "The Myth of Separation of Church and State," Moore said, "I didn't come to my understanding ...

The primary target of the lobbying campaign by the sports league and Focus on the Family, the evangelical group headed by James Dobson, is a proposal introduced this year by Barney Frank, the powerful Democratic lawmaker, that would undo the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. The law strengthened federal anti-gambling laws and wiped billions of dollars in value from foreign gaming companies that had operated in the US while the anti-gambling statutes were more ambiguous.

Chris Hedges on ?American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On Amer
2007-02-21 15:12:02 DemocracyNow! I am sorry for the long post, but this was so interesting to me, perhaps it will be to all of you. AMY GOODMAN: We turn now to the religious right and the rise of it in this country. A new book by Chris Hedges is called American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America. It investigates the highly organized and well-funded dominionist movement. The book looks at their agenda, examines the movement?s origins and motivations and uncovers its ideological underpinnings. American Fascists argues that dominionism seeks absolute power in a Christian state. According to Hedges, the movement bears a strong resemblance to the young fascist movements in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and ?30s. Chris Hedges was a foreign correspondent for the New York Times for many years, where he won a Pulitzer Prize.

Rev. Sharpton Faults the Christian Right
2006-11-01 03:18:05 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Rev. Al Sharpton criticized the Christian right Tuesday for focusing too much political discussion on abortion and same-sex marriage and said black churches must talk about fighting poverty, equal access to education and other social justice issues. With comedian/activist Dick Gregory at his side, Sharpton also condemned Indiana’s new voter ID law requiring people to present government-issued identification at the polls. “We have been inundated in the faith community with bedroom sexual morality issues and not dealing with the broader moral issues of poverty, of injustice and of health care,” Sharpton said at a news conference amid a two-day meeting of talks and revivals. “We can no longer be misused by some in the Christian right that will not deal with the broader issue of injustice and fairness and inequity in our society,” the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate said.
