Beware of Wolves in Sheep's Clothing.

 

For the religious right who might be looking for signs of a  GOP hopeful . The warning should be : "Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing"

 

 

Whenever there is politics , so should religion ride the same  horse. Two GOP candidates Gov. Rick Perry and Senator (1) Michele Bachmann both have come out speaking and sounding like two ministers who claim some divine inspiration to lead America back . When you hear any politician speaking from the pulpit using God , (*)and preaching of sorts. I would suspect a deceiving aspect of their crusades . Masking the fact that they are just using the religiously gullible to win the Oval Office Rick Perry, who's the top choice of the Christian Right leadership. One interesting question she veers into is why they haven't flocked to Michelle Bachmann: [W]hile Bachmann has been on a hot streak since the first candidate’s debate, Christian Right leaders continue to be far less willing to embrace her (or Sarah Palin, for that matter) than the rank-and-file or more secular politicos. Is that sexism at work? Possibly. Maybe even probably. But geography is an important factor as well. Many Christian Right leaders think the GOP primary schedule favors a Southern candidate.Perry's record is any better than the most liberal politician. You what? When Perry first became governor of Texas in 2000, total spending by the state of Texas was $49 billion. At the end of 2010, it was $90 billion.Why is it that Republicans always claim they're fiscal conservatives whilst massively increasing government debt? And why do their supporters keep falling for it?.—Michele Bachmann has just won the Ames Straw Poll in Iowa, edging out Ron Paul by less than 200 votes. In all, 16,892 voters cast their ballot, with 4,823 going to Bachmann, 4,671 to Paul, and 2,293 to third-place finisher Tim Pawlenty. Rick Perry, who announced his candidacy today in South Carolina and was a write-in candidate here, received 718 votes, finishing sixth; Rick Santorum, who appeared to largely draw voters attracted by his hostility to gay marriage, finished fourth, just ahead of Herman Cain. “Bachmann’s faith-based organization was over the top,” said a campaign staffer who said he was not authorized to speak for the campaign (he donned a shirt embroidered with the phrase, “Jesus is Lord Over America”) and refused to give his name. (Update: he was later identified as Peter E. Waldon, an evangelical organizer who had been charged with terrorism in Uganda.) He said that “members [of churches], pastors, an extraordinary turnout. At the end of the day, the story is going to be the faith-based turnout.” The staffer, who said he’d worked on other presidential campaigns in Iowa, added, “I’ve never seen anything like it.” He attributed her success to a “very effective grassroots operation,” and that religious voters saw her as “genuine. She wasn’t ashamed. She boldly shared everything.”  Rick Perry might have a skeleton haunting him in the good old days (3) his hard earned investments . While Gov. Perry's crusades were Christian Evangelist who is AGAINST pornography and AGAINST a woman's right to choose her own reproductive freedom and AGAINST the teaching of evolution as a fact, I see a Rick Perry who is a MONEY MAKER and JOB CREATOR!  Do you know how much Astroglide these porn distributors buy in the course of a year?  Those pretty-but-stupid teenage girls who would be working at the Sonic making minimum wage in Texas were it not for Perry's investment in their brief careers as porn stars.  And SOMEONE has to mop up those messy movie sets and wash all those stained sheets and clean those stained rugs and fluff those male porn stars so they'll be ready and raring to go when the director says "ACTION . There are two Republican presidential hopefuls who are using their religious inclination to garner support for their candidacies, and unlike politicians who pander to the religious right, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry are true believers who, if elected, will transform America into a theocracy and install the bible as the legal standard to govern the country. Each of the fundamentalist Christians share a belief that this country’s problems are rooted in secularism and have resorted to scare tactics and religious fervor set the nation on a course of oppression and imposition of their religious passion. Any religious fundamentalism is dangerous, and the recent terror attacks at the hands of Islamic extremists are testament that left unchecked, an unchallenged religious dogma is a danger regardless of the religion.

 NOTES TO ARTICLE:

(*) To borrow a phrase, theology has consequences. If it continuously preaches that men are designed (by God) to lead, and women are designed (by God) to help, and that a woman's highest calling in to be a mother (in a way that a man's as a father is not) , and that women should not be in authority positions, then this exact situation is something we should expect to observe.

(1) So, when does Palin finally announce she's running? You know there's no way she's going to let Bachman steal the limelight away from her. But my fear is that no matter what fruitcake ends up winning the Republican ticket might win because too many people will figure enough "other people" will vote so they don't have too. (Like my mom.) There's enough evangelical sheeples out there to put Bachmann/Perry/Palin in the Whitehouse if folks that don't vote Republican stay home.

 (2)"Jesus admonished his followers to pray quietly and alone, not to make a spectacle of themselves in a public place. These highly advertised public "prayer" events are nothing but fundraisers for the charlatans journalists continue to identify as Christians."I'm not so sure... "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." - Mark 16:15-16 (King James Version)

Fact of the matter is, some Christians do consider such public prayer events as doing God's work, and they seem to have a solid reason to do so (per Jesus' instructions). So why pretend otherwise?

Rick Perry! Who invested thousands of dollars in a company called Movie Gallery, Inc. back in 1995. At the time MGI was the largest distributor of porn in the country.
And how can you go wrong with an investment like that?  How can you NOT make money in a company that produces such fine titles as "Teens with Tits, Vol. 1"?  And how did the Academy Awards overlook such a fine piece of work as "Bisexual Barebacking," another Rick Perry investment?  Oh, sure, "Teen Power Vol. 4" and "Teens Never Say No" didn't live up to the high standards set by the "Teens with Tits" series, but they were no slouches in the money-making department.  And isn't that what makes America great?
And to those who might claim Perry a racist, I turn your attention to "Big Tit Brotha Lovers #6".  A fine piece of work promoting racial harmony.
And what good is it being Governor if you can't use (or bend) the rules to your advantage?  Like the time when Gov. Perry pushed successfully for laws to help porn distributors like MGI avoid those frivolous lawsuits and prosecution for illegally distributing porn across state lines?  It's GOOD to be the Governor!
How MUCH has Perry made from his investment in pornography?  It's anyone's guess, as his assets are still protected by a blind trust fund.  But I betcha it was plenty!
And isn't that what America is all about?
