What they’re saying is, “We want to be free to do exactly as we please and furthermore, we want to be free to stop anyone else from doing what doesn’t please us.” This is justified by saying that “At the risk of sounding melodramatic, the United States as we know her will [if Obama wins in 2012] cease to exist as will, then, Western Civilization. Those who are discerning, those who are intuitive to what is happening morally and economically in our nation understand the truth.” quote from Jim Garlow, one of Gingrich’s Faith Coalition members.

For me this is the final evidence that american evangelicals never gave a d___ about ‘family values’ etc. That’s only a cloak that covers the real reason – they lust for pure – brute power. That’s really all they want – the power to get revenge on those ‘persecuting’ them since the 60’s – the power to tell everyone else what to do – the power to set up their militant american jesus (anti-christ) and kill everyone who doesn’t bow down – a calvinistic power with an attitude of, “I’m the elect therefore I’m god” that’s what they want – especially the Doug Sheets types. God have mercy on us if they ever get that power….

“Sheets prophesied about an event that was supposed to take place near Branson, MO called the Wilderness Outcry. He said God told him the event might start another great awakening. Eventually, the event was cancelled due to lack of funding.”

Deuteronomy 18:22 “If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.” So it looks like we should pay no attention to Sheets, whatever he says, since he obviously is no prophet. And, since when does the Lord say, “the event MIGHT start…” Sheets is, as my dad used to say, “three sheets to the wind.”

Lynn David and MJ, boy you both hit the nail on the head with your comments.

Not much surprises me any more concerning the condemnation of sexual minorities by our government leaders, bot real and wannabe. Sadly Lynn I am almost immuned to shock now. I just shrugged my shoulders at Newts “pagan” comment, it was just another animus arrow headed for it’s target audience.

I don’t know why you’d be surprised that evangelical leaders like Sheets want to endorse someone affiliated with gambling…its all about the power. They could care less about the morality of it. They just want to pick the right side so they can have power when “their man” is in the White House.

Gingrich just gave a perfect reason why marriage for gays and lesbians should be allowed. Se:

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/gingrich-gay-marriage-perfect-example-what-i-mean-rise-paganism

Or:

He associated marriage for gays and lesbians with another religious tradition, paganism. So if pagans allow such marriages, how is it that by the first amendment the government cannot but acknowledge marriages of gays and lesbians? To do so would only mean and makes Gingrich’s campaign out to be one of the most theocratic ever.
