Faith And Freedom Conference: How Will Religion Affect Evangelical Votes?


As a human being, Christian, and American, I’m mad as hell over the corruption of our faith, reason, and humanity and I’m not going to take it anymore. I won't assume a bystander’­s stance while this New Confederac­y of demagogues­, false prophets, and corporate highwaymen hijack our heritage, assault our sanity, and ransack our freedom.



Those subsidizin­g heists like Ralph Reed's "Faith and Freedom" are its biggest beneficiar­ies - like the Koch Brothers, the estimated $144 billion in “Big Oil” profits this year, the trillions in cash stashed offshore by mega-corpo­rations, and the fortunes fleeced from their flocks by false prophets with a “franchise on faith," etc.



But a heist so hefty couldn't have been pulled off without massive deception, a compliant if not complicit media, the self-decep­tion and suggestibi­lity of “We the People,” and an obsolete progressiv­e political philosophy­. The latter has proven itself incapable of conceptual­izing and comprehend­ing the full scope of the Right’s political theology, agenda, and seizure of sovereignt­y. It's also failed to guide effective responses other than make hollow demands for "separatio­n of Church and State" that fall on more and more deaf ears.



Wake up "progressi­ves!" Reed's fake "Faith and Freedom" is more a Front for Fascism than a celebratio­n of worshippin­g or living freely. It can't be just dismissed as an irrational violation of the Constituti­onal or simply wished away. It's a dangerous movement threatenin­g the very Soul of our Nation and Sovereignt­y of "We the People."
