While we are waging an alleged"War on Terrorism", America is currently faced with an even bigger threat. A threat so hideous that it will end Democracy as we know it. This threat comes directly from Christian Fundamentalists. The American Taliban. The Dominionists.
"...Meet the Dominionists -- biblical literalists who believe God has called them to take over the U.S. government. As the far-right wing of the evangelical movement, Dominionists are pressing an agenda that makes Newt Gingrich's Contract With America look like the Communist Manifesto. They want to rewrite schoolbooks to reflect a Christian version of American history, pack the nation's courts with judges who follow Old Testament law, post the Ten Commandments in every courthouse and make it a felony for gay men to have sex and women to have abortions. In Florida, when the courts ordered Terri Schiavo's feeding tube removed, it was the Dominionists who organized round-the-clock protests and issued a fiery call for Gov. Jeb Bush to defy the law and take Schiavo into state custody. Their ultimate goal is to plant the seeds of a "faith-based" government that will endure far longer than Bush's presidency -- all the way until Jesus comes back..."
"...The godfather of the Dominionists is D. James Kennedy, the most influential evangelical you've never heard of..."
"..."Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, whatever the cost," Kennedy says. "As the vice regents of God, we are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors -- in short, over every aspect and institution of human society.".."
If this dosen't send a chill up your spine than you don't have one. The Dominionists are the greatest threat to this country we have ever known.
Now pay close attention too this next quote and it will absolutely convince you of this threat:
"...The Dominionists are also stepping up efforts to turn public schools into forums for evangelism. In a landmark case, the Alliance Defense Fund is suing a California school district that threatened to dismiss a born-again teacher who was evangelizing fifth-graders. In the conference's opening ceremony, the Dominionists recite an oath they dream of hearing in every classroom: "I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior for whose kingdom it stands. One Savior, crucified, risen and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe." (The Crusaders. Bob Mosley, Rolling Stones Magazine)
The emphasis is mine. The chilling words belong to the cabal of christian zealots.
