The Impending Theocracy
So not all Republicans are bad folk. We are being deceived with smoke and mirrors as to what is going on. It is not Republicans against Democrats. We, the people, are chasing the rabbit of diversion while extremists in this country are quickly eroding our democracy to make way for a theocracy.
Rod Parsley of World Harvest Church has started an organization called the Center of Moral Clarity. This organization is to render the US into a theocracy. Their pet politician Ken Blackwell, Secretary of State and candidate for Governor in Ohio, is fast pissing off the Republican party by airing very negative commercials about his opponent, Jim Petro, State's Attorney General, another Republican running for Governor, in Ohio's May primary.
The Republican party in Ohio is worried Blackwell is going to do damage to the party. But Blackwell doesn't care. In a theocracy, which he is also advocating, our current constitutional declaration of a two party system would be null and void. The whole constitution would become obsolete.
There is only one party in a theocracy- the Christocrats. A cleverly coined phrase by Rod Parsley. The Christian Reconstructionists are out to completely reconstruct what America is and was supposed to be. They don't like it, they don't want it and they have alot of money to make sure it goes away. In their minds it's their country. And we who disagree, are not welcome. At all. Period.
Fanning the flames of this devolution are issues around right to choose, definitions of family, protections for race, religious freedom, extensions to help the poor, and the most incendiary of all issues- lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people's existence.
And while we bankrupt ourselves to address the rabbit issues of diversion, the theocracy looms nearby.
We should all be banning together to meet this head on. The Democracy is at stake.
It is not about a bill to ban gay straight alliances in schools. It is not about eliminating a woman's right to choose. It is not about dissolving affirmative action. It is not about welfare deform.
It is about the whole of our nation and all who have lived here and all who do live here.
Christian extremists communities are being built and inhabited- formed on the basis of all residents belonging to a church- not just any church- and following biblical doctrine for law. Fanatical Christians are moving to South Carolina with the backup plan to secede if the US (the rest of the population) does not adhere to what they want in deform and constitutional changes in Christ's name.
Interesting thing about a theocracy. No one is ever right. No one is beyond suspicion. The scope of what is deemed righteous becomes more narrow with each edict.
And what do you suppose is the solution for those who fall out of favor or stand beyond the ever changing pale of the law? Theocrats, though dwindling in the face constant revision of laws, certainly can't have them around. You can't possibly jail everyone.
So what is the final solution to the problem of ever increasing dissenters for those acting under the guise of righteousness?
Dwell on that a while.

I've always thought this country is waaay too religious -- with or without Rod Parsley of World Harvest Church. I am still trying to picture my prime minster say, "God Bless You" but have yet to succeed. It just would not happen.
Anyhow, when soccer-mom America begins to react, it must be awfully bad. Perhaps even too late?
