Right-Wing—One Nation—and Under Who’s God?

Right-Wing—One Nation—and Under Who’s God?
Posted by Seana Maloney Mar 24, 2010


Am I wrong when I say that the conservative/tea baggers/republicans base their platform on Christian principles? When did it become okay to represent anyone or any platform by spitting, using racial and anti-gay epithets to bully someone who does not support their policy?  I think it’s a sad day when America is barely bothered by the fact that a Congressman  was spat on and called “N****r”, or fellow Democrat congressmen, Barney Frank being called faggot by another protester the very same day.  

Why are people not more outraged?! When has this type of hostility become acceptable just because they are upset about the Healthcare Reform Bill? This is not a passionate display of their voice and opinion! It is sad excuse in an attempt to degrade another human being. Why is it okay for those of opposite political spectrum to do this? Is this truly a representation of the American majority they claim they speak for? If it is, I do not want to be a part of that majority.

Protestors of the anti-HRC have become aggressive and belligerent to anyone who is not on their side.  Protesters mocked a man who was on the side of supporting the Healthcare Reform Bill in Ohio.

This man, Bob, has Parkinson’s disease and sat on Capitol Hill with his sign in hand.  Anti-HRC protesters told him if he was looking for a free hand out he wasn’t in the right place.  Bob was told he had to work for it. Work for what? Bob never worked?  Bob was a nuclear engineer with doctorates from Cornell.  Fifteen years ago he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and currently receives disability.  Another protester then began to throw dollar bills at him to be a prick.   

False fears have been represented that our elderly will be euthanized under the HCR bill. What a bunch of hypocritical ass-fucks! Preach under the false-hood of “protecting” our elderly, while you mock and throw dollars at an educated, intelligent elderly gentleman who has been stricken with Parkinson’s disease? Is this how THEY plan to take care of the elderly? Great display of the Christianity they claim this country was founded on. Didn’t Jesus say, “How you treat the least of these is how you treat me?”  Well, you just threw dollars bills and mocked the word and message of compassion from very man used by many to justify intolerance. 

Where in the Constitution does it state America is a Christian nation? I remember learning in history about many groups of individuals who fled religious persecution. Pilgrims from England fled because Queen Elizabeth I and her successor King James I. Queen Elizabeth I, wanted to establish the Church of England and have everyone be Anglican.  Now we find ourselves in the same country, which was once an asylum for the Pilgrims, turn into the Evangelicals claimed land with a ‘Christian Nation’ impression that is steadily moving into the political arena to ensure their moral law! 



Pat Robertson has called Islam, not a religion but a ‘violent political organization.’  Huh?  So then why do “Christian leaders” speak at political gatherings? Why are they forcing to amend laws to protect their beliefs concerning the sanctity of marriage based on their biblical principles?  The Spanish Inquisition resulted in the torture and killing of many Jews and Muslims by the regulation of Ferdinand, who ran a Catholic monarchy in Spain and expected everyone to convert to Christianity or parish.  How about the ones persecuted and killed during the Salem Witch hunts in Europe or the Salem Witch Trials? Could this be ignorance driven by unfounded fear where the final decision rested with the church authority?  



So, it’s said Christian Religion isn’t violent? Spitting on people while calling them a racial slur or bigot term is okay as long as it’s a “representation” of the Christian right? What has Christianity become?

I know it’s not fair to lump all the crazies with everyone else, but since the LGBT community is categorized as promiscuous, child molesting, teen recruiting, disease spreading freaks—then they can TEA BAG themselves and be put in the same black kettle of crazy of their own. 

Tim to close that self-righteous lid and turn up the heat…

I read in Mathew 22:15-17 the Pharisees (High Religious leaders not unlike the Christian ones we have today) came to Jesus to ask a question concerning Cesar and Roman occupation of Jerusalem.  The Pharisees concern was a moral dilemma from being forced to use a currency coin for the poll tax that associated openly to pagan Roman religion and the imperial cult in the East. 

“Is it lawful to show tribute to Cesar? They asked Jesus. 

Jesus said asked for a coin that had Cesar’s image on one side and the other a high priest of Roman religion.  

Jesus asked, “Whose image and superscription?” 

The Pharisees replied, “Cesar’s.”  

Jesus then said unto them, “Render unto Cesar the things which are Cesar’s and unto God the things that are Gods.”  

So basically keep your religion out of the lives who do not accept it as the final authority! 

Jesus also spoke about this very thing (false prophets) happening toward the end of days.  He warned, not be deceived because many will come in his name. Well, all dear rich “Christian” fundamental leaders (with those very deep pockets), who’s to say that’s not a warning about you?
