TED Talks... Frightening by Old Fart Rants

Some people say "what difference does it make what people believe?" or "why can't you just live and let live?" Well because that's exactly what the evangelicals and wingnuts in America today are against! I don't think some people really understand just how dangerous the Republican Party's pandering to the religious right really is. Make no mistake about it - there's a Christian conspiracy afoot that wants to "fundamentally transform" America - exactly what they accuse President Obama of trying to do. Projection - one of the telltale signs that people are up to no good. They don't want democracy - they want a theocracy with them in charge. They actually believe they have a God given right to run things so they can legally discriminate against anybody they disagree with, and that anybody who disagrees with them is discriminating against their religious freedom!

They've already got the Republican Party by the balls with the Tea Party blocking anything getting done in Congress. They'd love to amend the Constitution so that discrimination against people who don't share their beliefs would be the law of the land, but amending the Constitution is no small feat, which is why they took the Hobby Lobby case to the Supreme Court instead, where we now have 5 right wing, Catholic men basically holding America by its balls. This is the scariest part of the conspiracy because Presidents and elected representatives come and go - Supreme Court justices are appointed for life! They want a theocracy exactly like many Muslim countries have where you must believe or suffer the consequences by whatever punishments they see fit to impose.

Did you see Ted Cruz give his speech at Liberty University, announcing he's running for president? It was like watching an evangelical preacher pitching his snake oil wasn’t it? Did you see the round of applause he got from all those Christian students, who were forced to be there or pay a fine by the way, when he said he'd repeal Obamacare and take healthcare away from millions of people? Anybody want to tell me how THAT fits into Christian values? Ted Cruz's father IS an evangelical minister - he says atheists should be put in camps, and preaches that his son Ted is the "Anointed King" who will bring about the End Times! The end times? Now that’s what I call a real plan for America’s future!

Anybody want to tell me how anyone in the 21st century who isn't mentally ill could possibly believe nonsense like THAT? 4000 new Christian churches open in America every year, all tax exempt, and they all teach some version of this Bronze Age dogma. And when they don't get their way they play the victim card and claim they're being persecuted because they can't hate and discriminate with legal impunity. They've already made their way into our government and will take over as much of it as they can. If you don't think these people are dangerous you're dead wrong!
