Rick Perry's Army of God

Recommended Posts

Quote

If we didn't have to worry about Obama's associations with Reverend "God Damn America" Wright, Bill "We didn't go far enough" Ayers and Father Michael "Snuffy" Pfleger, I think we'll probably be ok if Perry gets elected.



So if I got this straight, none of Perry's associates or their comments are of any concern to you?

I'm not worried in the least he will be elected, fucking nut jobs like him will always implode fairly soon in the process. The rest of the country is not Christian zealots, like Texas and the southern states.

Why is the Right not denouncing this nut? Why is the media not reporting on the the people he invited to speak at his rally?

If Obama had spoke on the same stage as someone who claimed that God was behind the Holocaust, that the statue of liberty was a demonic idol, and Satan was behind the the political party he opposed, well... you get the idea.[e

> I was there, it was awesome. As we where walking along about or I don't know 2-3 hundred of use working our way around to the entrance we came accross about maybe 30-40 protesters, mostly atheist I guess due to several signs they carried..."Your imaginary friend is a bully", another "Seperate Hate from State".

Athiest or not, they put little effort or creative thought in their signs. Many must have been created by small children learning how to write with permanent markers. Well they were'nt very happy about us moving through their group, being so many of us against so few of them, I mean a side walk is only so big, can't accommodate large crouds.

Another thing I noticed about the protesters, very little staying power... by 3:00 PM they were down to about 20 or so. Well I guess their message was not all that important anyway.

You support the New Apostolic Reformation?
A group that preaches hate!
A group that supports the take over of the U.S. government!
A group that is widely considered to be a cult!

How can any person, in their right mind, support a cult?

He has aligned himself with a fringe religious group that has a history of preaching hate and government take-over.



He has, huh? Has he spent 20 years going to their church and listening to the sermons about God Damn Overthrow America, or something?

Quote

One should be concerned of his true agenda.



Still waiting on some proof of that, too - you'd think he would have taken it for a trial run over the last decade if it were true.

This movement is nothing new. I became aware of it in the mid-80's through the Charismatic Churches.

Governor Rick Perry seems to have done a good job in Texas. Maybe he is the one to LEAD us out of this administration's quagmire.

Demonstrated leadership is going to be the key to winning the presidency next November.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I've got to agree. That is actually a personal attack, not that proof is required either.

So, that will be enough of that.

Not a PA. That is just my observation concerning your ability to comprehend a simple statement.
My statement, "One should be concerned of his true agenda." does not require proof as it does not beg for such. What it does beg is if a person is concerned with the group which he has aligned himself with, they should be concern to what Perry's true agenda might be... comprende? I suspect not.

So you get to accuse in the court of public opinion with no evidence to back up your claim. Pretty sweet deal for you.

Yeah, about that.... where's this 'alignment' you keep speaking of, or is that something ELSE we're supposed to just take your word for?

Prayer meetings don't cut it.

Don't recall, any oath last Saturday that we should commit ourselves to take over the USA. Well there was a commitment to pray for our nation and it's leaders that I do remember. Maybe that is the hate speech your thinking of. It was a small gathering of only 30,000 plus AMERICANS seeing that half the stadium was closed off by the stage and large Black drapes.

Citizen of the USA, coming together because they love their country...including two citizens that happen to be Gov's., one from Texas & the other Kansas.

Yes an opportunity to gather peacefully as our Constitution allows, assemble ourselves in a common place and Pray to our Creator who by the way happens to have a son by the name of Jesus, who's pretty cool once you get to know him.

I would provide photos, but I don't see any benefit in doing so.

The Atheist had very little original thought? I don't think you need look any further than a mirror to find an absolute lack of common sense.

Do you know the feeling you get when you see a follower of Rev Moon, or a Jw, or a North Korean? That question you asked yourself on how any grown person could be so deceived and throw their whole life away?

I have that feeling for you.

The content may not have the weight that Hitler had at the Berlin Sports Palace, yet I, and many others, find it alarming that a governor would stand side by side with those from the NAR (a group considered to be a radical religious cult.) Not surprising that Brownback would be there, as well as John Hagee, Don Wildmon and the likes of Jim Garlow. These people are amongst the most radical of the religious right. Their main agenda is to place their agenda into each and every home.
Glad I'm not fond of Kool-Aid.

As for your pictures? I've seen plenty and have watched and listened to the videos.

I have no problem with a persons choice in religion. I have a problem when people attempt to use it to guide a government, you know, like the Taliban or militant Islamic rule. We don't need that kind of rule here. Those of the extreme right should read Jefferson's response to the Danbury Baptist http://www.usconstitution.net/jeffwall.html

I have a problem when the religious want to take their religion out of the church and place it in public schools. I have a problem with them knocking on my door and attempting to preach to me. Keep it in your church and out of government, the public schools, and off my doorstep.

>>>Lemme know when they start forcing people to church at gunpoint, ok?


At least one gop candidate has said that is exactly what he wants:

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2011/03/31/mike-huckabee-wants-to-indoctrinate-you-at-gunpoint/

" I almost wish that there would be, like, a simultaneous telecast, and all Americans would be forced — forced at gunpoint no less — to listen to every David Barton message, and I think our country would be better for it. I wish it’d happen." -Mike Huckabee, march 2011

But don't worry, this little snafu got edited out before it made it to prime time!

I'm sure some "almost wish" they could. But that's a far cry from actually doing so. As I said earlier, I don't think even the believers would support such an action in our country. Most Christians believe in the first amendment.

Don't say it like the Inquisition never happened. Anything is possible when you start getting fanatics involved.



We're talking about present-day, Paul - the whole "look what they did back THEN" gambit isn't in play.


Don't make me jump to Godwin on this. ;)


The Nazis would have been a much better example to cite. It happened in the last 80 years, they were elected by the people in a properly counted election. Democracies can still be driven by emotion.

But the Inquisition? It started nearly 800 years ago and occurred in a time where the Monarchs and the Church ruled Europe, and the people had absolutely no say. Hard to see a parallel to today in America, where the Constitution prevents a church from being in charge.
