Has the Right-Wing Has Dropped Off the Deep End? |
Has the Right-Wing Has Dropped Off the Deep End?
The far religious right, led by a radical right-wing political movement,
is now trying to get their own ultra-conservative judges appointed to
the courts by a shameless and decidedly Un-American tactic – touting
those who differ with their views as anti-faith!
In an unprecedented display of bravado disclosed in an article by the
New York Times , an ultra-right wing para-church organization,
http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M68346854594476413755965
The Family Research Council, has organized a telecast scheduled for
Sunday, April 24 that will portray those who oppose certain judicial
nominations as "anti-Christian” or “anti-faith.” The event is entitled,
“Justice Sunday: Stop the Filibuster Against Faith.” Senate majority
leader Bill Frist has agreed to participate in the event!
Let me repeat. Your U.S. Senate majority leader Bill Frist has agreed
to participate in an event that portrays those who oppose their choices
for judicial nominees as 'anti-Faith' This must not stand, and we
need your help to change it.
Think about it. Can anything be more Un-American? Has radical
Christian fundamentalism now become the “state religion?” As people of
a rich tapestry of faiths and beliefs, are we ready to roll over and let
a fanatical right in power now use religion as a weapon to take
political ground?
The systematic extermination of public opinion in the name of religion
should give us all – regardless of our faith – reason for grave concern.
This so-called “Justice Sunday” is, in truth “JUST-US” Sunday. Their
views are not the views of faithful people across this nation, but they
may have their way in Washington if we don’t speak up now!
The head of the para-church organization who is heading this event said:
"As the liberal, anti-Christian dogma of the left has been repudiated in
almost every recent election, the courts have become the last great
bastion for liberalism… For years activist courts, aided by liberal
interest groups like the A.C.L.U., have been quietly working under the
veil of the judiciary, like thieves in the night, to rob us of our
Christian heritage and our religious freedoms." Tony Perkins,
President, Family Research Council
Exercising our right to question our politicians constitutes robbery?
Can they really mean it?
We who love this country, who value its diversity of thought, its
protections under the law, its respect for human dignity, must NOT sit
idly by and watch our nation’s leaders use religion to choke dialogue
and turn people of faith against each other. The fact that the nation’s
Senate Majority leader is a participant in this affair signals a
dangerous and unprecedented turning point in our nation’s history.
It's time to speak up! http://www.faithfulamerica.org/
Love is often expressed in compassionate terms. At times love must be
expressed by an unstoppable show of courage. This is one of those
times. Help us preserve YOUR right to religious expression.
Blessings to you,

Hello, theocracy with a fundamentalist US Supreme
Court who will ensure church and state are joined
at the hip like clergy and altar boys.
