CARLSON: It goes deeper than that though. The deep truth is that the elites in the Republican Party have pure contempt for the evangelicals who put their party in power. Everybody in… MATTHEWS: How do you know that? How do you know that? CARLSON: Because I know them. Because I grew up with them. Because I live with them. They live on my street. Because I live in Washington, and I know that everybody in our world has contempt for the evangelicals. And the evangelicals know that, and they're beginning to learn that their own leaders sort of look askance at them and don't share their values. MATTHEWS: So this gay marriage issue and other issues related to the gay lifestyle are simply tools to get elected? CARLSON: That's exactly right. It's pandering to the base in the most cynical way, and the base is beginning to figure it out 
Tucker Carlson gets honest about what he says the Republican elites feel about the Extreme Christian Right.

Are they duped? If I were a rapture nutting evangelical heretic I would be pretty happy with Leader Bush. He has layed the groundwork for enacting their agenda on a nationwide scale- which is basically big government "Christian" socialism and has launched murderous wars on behalf of Israel and killed a lot of moslems bringing their day of rapture closer. The thing you have to realize about rapture nutters is that they are not for small government, not for the constitution. They want an all powerful central government that enforces their morality on the nation. They worship military power. Their is nothing about FDR's Mega State that they want to see eliminated. All they want is to see the power of the Federal government under the guidance of THEIR kind with their brand of morality forced on everyone else. They want a religious state- a theocracy. They have little if any use for capitalism or free markets. What they want is basically a fascist state that espouses their views and enshrines their morality in law. They don't believe in states rights. They don't believe in local government. They want a President that is for all intent and purpose a dictator- a king. And they of course adore the military and wish to see it as their religiouis army. Their is nothing "conservative" about these people. They have a vision for this country and it is totalitarian. They want a police state. They crave it.
The Bible explains that people will be taken to Heaven without dying in the end days. How is believing what the Bible says being a heretic? President Bush is doing all he can to stop the Islamic terror and if you buy into the evil of killing people to keep President Bush from rebuilding a country torn apart by decades of having an evil leader, you are giving aid and comfort to out ememies. We have to keep the Democrats from stealing our country from us, and keep the Iraq people safe from dictators like Saddam.
Well Sherry if you look at the history ...you will learn that this theology is fairly new and not orthodox Christian... Welcome to 4
Thank you for the welcome. I will read what people post, and I am new to this but I know what my pastor says and he has explained the need for a strong spiritual core in each of us and how President Bush and conservatives are doing Gods work. Israel has a hard road in such a sea of hate and Satan inspired turmoil. I pray that things get better there, but as it is going according to prohecy, that does not look likely.
So, Sherrie.........what is your regular screen name here?
