Did you know

Post by Pine Mt Beagles »

When I Googled this Question ,I Really would not Have Believed this,

Are there any Gay Republicans,

In the 2010 Congressional elections, CNN exit polls revealed that 51% of people who identified themselves as homosexual voted Republican. 51% I don’t know about you, but I was shocked.

The rationale that gay Republican organizations use is, to their GREAT credit, that there are larger issues challenging America than gay rights issues. Yes, they wish that Republicans were more openly supportive of the gay rights movement, but they have suppressed this very personal issue in the interest of protecting the U.S. on more broadly-important issues.

Meanwhile, they continue to try to influence decision-makers on issues specifically important to gays and lesbians. Now this is the way the way the system should work.


This was also something, I did not expect.

86% of Women who have Abortions have some kind of Relegious affilation .
This goes directly against the Republican ,message of Relegion And Abortion.

A Christian Plot for Domination?
Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry aren't just devout—both have deep ties to a fringe fundamentalist movement known as Dominionism, which says Christians should rule the world.

Republican's are deeply associated with a theocratic strain of Christian fundamentalism known as Dominionism. If you want to understand Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, understanding Dominionism isn’t optional.

Put simply, Dominionism means that Christians have a God-given right to rule all earthly institutions.
Originating among some of America’s most radical theocrats, it’s long had an influence on religious-right education and political organizing. But because it seems so outré, getting ordinary people to take it seriously can be difficult. In a contemptuous 2006 First review of several books, including Kevin Phillips’ American Theocracy, and my own Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, conservative columnist Ross Douthat wrote, “the fear of theocracy has become a defining panic of the Bush era.”

Now, however, we have the most theocratic Republican's in American history, and suddenly, the concept of Dominionism is reaching mainstream audiences.
Writing about Bachmann in The New Yorker this month, Ryan Lizza spent several paragraphs explaining how the premise fit into the Minnesota congresswoman’s intellectual and theological development. And a recent Texas Observer cover story on Rick Perry examined his relationship with the New Apostolic Reformation, a Dominionist variant of Pentecostalism that coalesced about a decade ago. “[W]hat makes the New Apostolic Reformation movement so potent is its growing fascination with infiltrating politics and government.Its members “believe Christians—certain Christians—are destined to not just take ‘dominion’ over government, but stealthily climb to the commanding heights of what they term the ‘Seven Mountains’ of society.

In many ways, Dominionism is more a political phenomenon than a theological one. It cuts across Christian denominations, from stern, austere sects to the signs-and-wonders culture of modern megachurches. Think of it like political Islamism, which shapes the activism of a number of antagonistic fundamentalist movements, from Sunni Wahabis in the Arab world to Shiite fundamentalists in Iran.

Dominionism derives from a small fringe sect called Christian Reconstructionism, founded by a Calvinist theologian named R. J. Rushdoony in the 1960s. Christian Reconstructionism openly advocates replacing American law with the strictures of the Old Testament, replete with the death penalty for homosexuality, abortion, and even apostasy.

If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered

No, I didn't know but it appears some of the sheep are beginning to follow a new shepherd.

Poll Shows Deep-Blue Oregon Flashing Red

I know it's really early, but I didn't see this coming:

quote:
Oregon Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley is running neck-and-neck with Republican challenger Monica Wehby, according to a new Daily Caller/Vox Populi Polling survey of registered voters in the state.

Wehby, a Portland-based pediatric neurosurgeon, received the support of 40 percent of respondents, while an additional five percent say they are leaning towards supporting the first-time candidate. Merkley, who was elected to the Senate in 2008, garners the support of just 39 percent of respondents, with two percent saying they lean towards supporting him.

Fourteen percent of voters said they do not know whom they would support.

Hey PM, is this the transparency that Obama promised?

It beginning to get clearer each passing day.


THE IRS SCANDAL DEEPENS (

The House Oversight Committee investigating the IRS and the agency's thuggish tactics toward tea party and liberty groups has asked the Attorney General for detailed information on a DOJ official who was considering bringing charges against the groups in question:

" . . . sixteen Oversight Committee members asked Department of Justice Attorney General Eric Holder to produce documents and a Justice Department official for a transcribed interview to explain why his agency would consider prosecution of tax-exempt groups already improperly targeted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Last week, Judicial Watch released IRS documents showing former IRS official Lois Lerner in contact with Justice Department about potential prosecution of tax-exempt groups.

"A previously unreleased e-mail related to last week's FOIA release by Judicial Watch reveals that the Justice Department employee did not reach out to Lerner on his own. Instead, Richard Pilger, Director of the Election Crimes Branch of the Department's Public Integrity Section, noted via e-mail to Lerner on May 8th 2013, "I have been asked to run something by you." The e-mail does not indicate who had asked Pilfer to contact Lerner. Additionally, the letter notes that the Department considered prosecuting these groups for actions that are legal for 501(c)(4) nonprofits under federal tax law - that is, engaging in political speech."

Remember when Lois Lerner said she was sorry about all this? Now she really has something to be sorry about. Maybe she can tell it to a judge . . .


AND DON'T FORGET THE DEMOCRATS

Response Action Network - Another damning email released as a result of the ongoing IRS investigation shows that at least 30 House Democrats were demanding the IRS investigate liberty and tea party groups. But don't expect any of those who signed to ask for an IRS investigation into any liberal groups attempting to influence elections. That's the kind of "social welfare" these politicians like,encourage and support - because it helps them win elections.


PM, you don't have to respond immediately. We know that Benghazi, BLM, IRS, Obamacare, Fast and Furious, and the Veterans Death Squads have you overwhelmed trying to find something to cut and paste. Better hurry, Jeb will be in office soon. Since Obama and Reid have wiped their butts on the Constitution, think how Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel can use the Nuclear Option to imprison the traitor, Holder. Maybe former Representative Allen West can be the new Attorney General. He probably has some pent up emotions on how he was illegally voted out of his house seat.
Seriously it would be nice to have a veteran, patriotic, American holding a cabinet position. Those Ivy league traitors sure have it screwed up. It would be nice to have an American citizen in the White House as well.
