Sullivan's Rewrite
Posted by TOM BEVAN | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email Author | Sphere It!
Andrew Sullivan has been slinging the word "Christianist" about with sanctimonious ease for some time now. He never misses a chance to point out a news story and filter it through the "Christianist" lens. He's written a book on the subject. Heck, Sullivan has turned slamming "Christianists" into a veritable cottage industry.
So what does Sullivan do when a "Christianist" is booed out of a room by 800 Republicans for attacking a Republican presidential candidate for not possessing sufficient belief in Jesus Christ? He attacks the candidate, Mitt Romney, as a religious bigot.
The coup de grace to Sullivan's "Christianist" meme, of course, would be the nomination of Rudy Giuliani for President. Last week Sullivan confronted the growing body of evidence suggesting Rudy is acceptable, if not preferable, to Republican voters at this point by saying:
My view is that the managers and spokesmen of the base may be misreading the real mood of the evangelical rank and file. They're more pragmatic than their leaders.
This would seem to fly in the face of Sullivan's contention that the Republican party is controlled by "Christianists," whom he defines as those believing "religion dictates politics and that politics should dictate the laws for everyone, Christian and non-Christian alike."
...
The far left is controlling Congress, at least so far.
when you consider the "far left" as anyone to the left of yourself, I suppose, from that perspective, you are right.
Oh no, I'm speaking now of the 'moderates' like Hillary, not even mentioning Murtha and Co. Hillary & Edwards have been villified, even Obama has gotten some for not 'cutting the funding' from the left. Moveon has too much power, the DNC knows it, but not sure what to do about it.
if the far left was running congress, the house would have chosen Murtha as their leader instead of Hoyer.
Pelosi wanted Motor Mouth Murtha, but her own Dems voted against her wishes
no kidding...and elected a much more moderate leader in his stead. Hence my comment.
Do try and keep up.
But the leaders, and Chairmen are all crackpot libs
Motoer Mouth Mirtha is one of the gifts that keeps on giving

but but but....do try to follow the conversation....
you just spew cut and paste vaguely related bullshit like you have some form of verbal diarrhea.
Translation: Do not confuse MM with facts - his head will explode
Hahaha! Governor: John Baldacci. Presidents: Bill Clinton twice, Al Gore in 2000, and John Kerry in 2004. There also seems to be a pretty strong Green Party movement as well. And in so far as the Democratic party is the Socialist Party for the US, it think its fair to argue, that even in Maine, the Dems are steered by leftists.I disagree with your opening premise. The far left does not control my party in my state, I am quite certain of that.
The links:Warren Chisum and Ben Bridges said:
It is now known that the Kabbala, the most holy book the Religion of the Pharisees, is the source of all the concepts which make up today’s Big Bang "Origins Scenario", and it is that Scenario which provides the billions of years required by the “theory of evolution” which the Courts have heretofore viewed as “secular evolution science”.
The bait being "stick to the constitution, leaving religion out of the science classrooms, where "known facts" are at issue"; and the switch being the implied suggestion that "known facts" might be in some manner relevent to the notions of creationism or Intelligent Design, placing them on some equal footing for consideration in a science curriculum.The perfect resolution of the seemingly interminable debate over evolutionism in the USA is now within the grasp of the Courts, high and low. That resolution is reduced to only one option when the Constitution is observed. That option is this: Educate only with the known facts of science. If hypotheses and theories contradict known facts, the facts prevail and are to be taught as true science. Let those facts form each student’s conclusions about the Origin of the universe, the earth, and mankind, thus guaranteeing the lawful use of the public treasury.
LOLSOME!!!!!Fortunately--say the Pharisees promoting evolutionism--the “creation science” menace to “evolution science” has been thwarted in every attempted challenge in the Courts of the USA. Complete victory for “secular science” over “creation science” is now assured in the very short range future, they say, and it won’t be long before the real adversary, i.e., “Bible-based Christianity”, is defeated too. Indeed, the Pharisaic Cabal today has reason to think: “Just a little more and we can shout with Nietzsche: ‘God is dead; we have killed him with our science.’”
orThe Earth is not rotating...nor is it going around the sun.
I will assert this much though--These republicans are playing to a divine-right-nouveau paradigm that is comforting to those who enjoy an authoritarian power structure that has supreme destructive power concentrated at it's apex. It appeals to those who like to daddy, and be daddied.The whole scheme from Copernicanism to Big Bangism is a factless lie.

So the fact that they chose one leftist over an even further leftest, Hoyer now is a moderate.
steny hoyer has always been a moderate....
look...when you are further to the right than attilla the hun, everybody looks liberal
and when your 'woodstock chic' is your current fashion, everyone right of George Soros, along with a (D) behind their name, looks 'moderate'.
