Something ugly has risen its head in American Politics.  The New Apostolic Reformation Movement<\/a>, sometimes called Dominionists, want to reinvent America as a theocracy in which they, as God\u2019s appointed representatives, control the intimate details of daily life from the largest corporate board room to the tiniest private bedroom.  They have been around for a while, but nobody has given them heed, because they warranted none, until now.  Now they have an anointed holy prophet in the person of soon to be candidate, Rick Perry.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"PerryHat\"Texas Governor Rick Perry\u2019s prayer event \u201cThe Response last weekend raised plenty of eyebrows for coming on the heels of much presidential speculation, and for featuring a number of pastors with some controversial views<\/strong>. On her program tonight, Rachel Maddow tried to find the common thread among these pastors, and she argues it is not that they have all \u201cjust had a moment where they said something that sounded strange.\u201d They are members of the New Apostolic Reformation, she argued: a small religious group plotting world domination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Maddow noted that for Perry to have invited many of the characters that appeared at his event was enough of a threat to any potential campaign\u2013 not because of the prayer itself, but \u201cthe risk for his President campaign was\u2026 that the particular stadium prayer event he held was with these guys<\/strong>.\u201d… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rachel Maddow has done the most superior job of documenting these Dominionists  that I have seen.  She did so last night in two segments.  In the first, Rachel explained in detail who they are and why Perry waited until next weekend to announce.<\/font><\/p>\n

They are a threat to our way of life, and Perry waited to avoid close MSM scrutiny of his fanatical handlers.  It\u2019s easy to see why.<\/font><\/p>\n

In the second, <\/font>Rachel discussed New Apostolic political ambitions with staff writer Forrest Wilder.<\/font><\/p>\n

Perry succeeded.  As he moves toward his announcement, most of America remains ignorant of the extreme danger this man represent.  Worse yet, he is so off the deep end that he  is sure to attract the support of the InsaniTEA wing of the Republican Party.<\/font><\/p>\n

In closing, please understand that these are not authentic Christians.  Among other qualities, authentic Christians have no need to shove their beliefs down the throats of others.  They respect the beliefs of others and desire to coexist in peace with them.  They have an abiding concern for the poor.  They recognize that church (render unto God) and state (render unto Caesar) are separate.  They have no Machiavellian plans.  Please do not blame authentic Christians for anti-gospel of hate, bigotry, and greed of Republican supply-side pseudo-Christians.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
