Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid...

"We often call the White House and talk to Karl Rove," Jerry Falwell says of the Arlington Group. "Everyone takes our calls." --as quoted in Vanity Fair, December 2005

Good old boys Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are getting all twitter pated lately. They see the Queen exposed on the board and are planning some kind of scary. I suppose it has been lurking underneath the surface for a bit, and I've chosen to ignore the signs up until Pat Robertson's lovely greeting of well wishing to Ariel Sharon. Granted Mr. Sharon has not been able to enjoy these kind words from the Evangelical Superstar because he pissed God off and is lying in a medically enhanced blissful coma. He shouldn't have been trying to break up the Holy Land and/or try to bring peace to the region when it clearly belongs to the Christians. Arrogant Jew!

Watch out Israelis! Pat Robertson might act like he is your friend because you hate the gays as much as he does, but he also hates the humanists, Arabs, Muslims, Asians, Dykes, and Hugo Chavez (although I think his buddy Georgie Bush put him up to the last one). Basically anyone that isn't a Evangelical Christian. Don't say I didn't warn you. Read behind the half assed apology to Prime Minister Sharon's family and see the complete utter contempt he has for someone he feels is breaking up God's land. Don't think he wouldn't try and force the Jews into converting to Christianity without instilling the fear of eternal damnation for failing to do so.

I am convinced that Jerry Falwell and his cronies such as Ralph Reed are preparing themselves as well as the 70 million other Evangelicals to become a very powerful force in the American political system. Having accomplished so much already with the blatant bigotry towards homosexuals by uniting other religions in the renewed hatred, the focus has been diverted away from the positioning of the political chips. The Catholics, Jews, and Muslim, have all found common ground with the Evangelical Christians and have issued very strong words basically in the favor of eradicating homosexuality in its entirety. Those pesky homos taken care of by the other religions, opens up more free time to "spread the word". It is no secret that the Christian Right has helped undermine the peace process in Israel in the past with the help of Benjamin Netanyahu. With Ariel Sharon out of the picture, the Christians are in excellent position to help undo whatever Sharon has accomplished recently and keep Israel the way it feels it should be by divine right. With conservative Jews in agreement with people like Falwell and Robertson about keeping the infidels out of the Kingdom of Heaven the Muslims are next in the sights of the scope. The fox and wolf are playing together. When the food is all gone who will the wolf eat?

Even with Bush's waning popularity and the downfall of some politicians such as Tom DeLay the Christian Right has been gaining steam in the multiple areas. They were at a whisper after the Scopes trial in 1925 and are now at a steady roar having picked up in the 70's. You can occasionally hear the hoot and holler of a fanatic, but the time in between fanatics has become shorter and always with renewed vigor. Pat Robertson, Fred Phelps, and Jerry Falwell are old and on their way but what scares me is who is around the corner? The ones that we don't know about yet, that have been groomed for the the new face of conservative Christianity. Will the person who succeeds Sharon see the potential for disaster and take a different approach in the constant search for peace in Israel. If God wills it. I will munch on my nails in the mean time.
