Well if Jesus wasn't making babies with Mary Magdelene, then he was probably gay. wonder Judas had to kiss him to identify him.

Yes, I exaggerated for effect, but I'm not understanding the division of "Canadians and Newfoundlanders."

Oh, I love it. Great cartoon.

[averajamerican.livejournal.com]

well done.

This cartoon is completely correct, but for a completely different set of reasons. Many right wingers feel that the GOP is not doing enough to push for certain promised initiatives.

When the Hell did the Republican party come to mean the Conservative Christian Fuckwit party?

Dude, the founding fathers would be so pissed if they could see us right now.

[hikarugenji.livejournal.com]

It's mostly a product of the last few decades, when the conservative christian leaders were able to mobilize their congregations to vote in large numbers, larger numbers than the non-conservative christians.

I missed it, have a good link?

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

I would date the switch to around 1980. That's when conservatives truly got their act together and started influencing politics on a large scale. Before then, more moderate people controlled the party.

Here is the C&L link to Olbermans comments on it. The book is "Tempting Faith" and it has been getting a good amount of press.

I don't think the religious right really does conservatism any justice.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Interesting, but unfortunately not surprising. Thanks.

Awsome. Simply awsome.

[darkblood777.livejournal.com]

Which begs the question "Who would Jesus vote for?"

I believe he'd be disgusted with both parties, stay home, and smoke pot.

True that. Previously conservatives had a much more libertarian bent, keeping government from controlling the lives of individuals. The religious right made a major change to this though, because they seek to use the federal government to force their idea of a moral standard on all individuals.

finaly a good quote ,jesus pack hes pack and left longago

[vlion.livejournal.com]

Right around when the Christian Coalition or whatever they felt like calling themselves decided that they didn't like the liberal policies of the 60s/70s, got together, and made themselves a major force in the Republicans. Around 1980ish is when it was started.

That plus the latent conservatism in the republcians yields a neocon.

Don't classify all republicans as the Christian Right or as neocons, because it just ain't true. (And the small government conservative republicans are kinda riled- I'd guess the republicans are gonna split because of it)
