Dobson Says No No No to GiulianiPosted on Oct 9, 2007
In case you think conservative Christians are just bluffing with their threats to split from the Republicans, take a gander at this clip of Sean Hannity begging James Dobson to support Rudy Giuliani. Dobson refuses, standing on principle and the promise of a more frenzied and loyal base under a Clinton presidency: “If Rudy Giuliani wins, I’m telling you the pro-life movement is gone.”

Dear Mr. Giuliani, Judge Eyed in Court-Transcript Probe Justice Marylin Diamond appointed her former law partner and close friend to handle a sick man’s legal affairs. That same friend oversaw a trust that later awarded Diamond $1.1 million. She hired an engineer who was a witness in a case she heard to work on her apartment building, not disclosing her actions until after she had ruled in favor of the party that had called the engineer. And 19 times since 2000, she has heard civil cases while she or her husband owned stock in one party - without disclosing her financial ties to the opposing side. Diamond refused repeated requests from the Daily News for an interview and did not respond to written questions. A criminal profiler who analyzed threatening letters sent to a Manhattan judge has concluded that the judge wrote them herself, the Daily News has learned. Since Acting Supreme Court Justice Marylin Diamond reported the first of the bizarre threats three years ago, she has been guarded virtually around-the-clock by NYPD detectives or Supreme Court officers, according to law enforcement sources.

Heaven is not a conservative right wing family values red state. GOD is not spelled G-O-P. And, America is not a Christian Nation. All the candidates are American humans, flawed in every sinful way. These politicians are not campaigning for beatification into American sainthood. Each candidate ambitiously aspires to attain the dominating devotion and allegiance of the world only realized when one becomes the charismatic indestructable little horn on the diademed head of the great and terrible beast, straddled by the deceitful and gorgeous Laodicean whore, after whom the entire population of a mesmerized planet, obligitorily branded and stricken with gripping awe, powerlessly wanders. Since every human is born with a thorn in his flesh, each politician is required to have a decaying boneyard of writhing, smelling brimstone and treacle in a closet somewhere. The wretched practice has been canonized by the church of politics as a qualification for candidacy. For it is written, “Blessed art thou when YouTube humiliatest thee, and satan’s media minions sayeth all manner of evil against thee. For entertaining shall be thy run for office, and long shall thy dwell in the light of lime!” Dobson is supposed to be an Ambassador of the Kingdom ruled by the world’s soon returning Eternal Immortal Nemesis, not out pimping his misguided followers for the remuneration of a beast ride. At a time when America is afraid enough to run with scissors and the devil, we really don’t need Dobson’s manipulative divisive duress behind the election booth curtain, or his hypocritical obfiscation of our precious, albeit diminishing political choices. I have to wonder if Dobson would be this vocal a Rudy detractor, were Rudy to feign just enough contrition and repentence to broadcast his convincing renunciation of serial adultry and cross-dressing, publicly atoning for his pathetic past with promises that, once elected, Dobson could enjoy the Lincoln Bedroom and inclusion in weekly Oval Office conference calls. Enviable and coveted inclusion in the President’s exclusive base, after all, was the irresistable carrot Dumya dangled to lure in the religious right in 2000 and 2004.

By SamBrown, October 10, 2007 at 8:17 am # Boy it sure is interesting to see how civil and respectful the discourse is, despite the disagreement, when Hannity knows how popular the guest is with the Foxnews audience.
By d.alon, October 10, 2007 at 7:05 am # The authoritarian personality knows no ethnic or territorial boundary. When attempting to force their world views and beliefs down the throats of others, they always dress it up as a edict from God. These people are always the cruelest, most punative and intellectually shallow people on the planet, but inevitably they gain power on a wave of self-righeousness and end-justifies-means violence - because they receive their authority from some twisted, perverse interpretation of scripture. What results is oppression of knowledge, arts, sciences, personal freedoms, and individual choice. We may all have dodged a mandatory conversion to the “Church of the Because I Said So” this time around, but they have certainly had reason to feel empowered with the con-artist in the White House - who played them like a fiddle. But, their power, number and influence will continue to grow as our economy and continues to decline.

By EMP, October 10, 2007 at 5:50 am # “Split from the Republicans”? Where would they go? I want to split from the Dems after observing their spineless falling over to the President with the worst popularity rating ever - but where do I go. They will work it from the inside or the outside, but they will never give up the fight. They feel they are on a mission from God. Add Your Comment |
