dogemperor has the latest on the Palin/Dominionist/Joel's Army connections:

Yup, got a whole new mess of stuff--including investigations of Wasilla Bible Church (both it and its parent turn out to be practically Focus on the Family fronts), revelations of Palin using at least $25,000 of Alaskan taxpayer's money to fund a project at one of her Assemblies churches, the possibility she's dual-campusing at WBC and Juneau Christian Center, and the *real* poop on the Joel's Army connections with "Master's Commission".

There is talk that the Dominionists are praying for McCain's demise to bring them their long awaited theocratic president.

Dominionist background.

Get attuned to the dominionist/neopente dog-whistles and know what policies they stand for.

Some folks may be interested in adding dark_christian to their reading list. The community serves as "a critical and intelligent examination of Dominionist Christianity and its close kin."

That they even have a shot at this terrifies me. Dominionists are the biggest danger in this country. FAR worse than any outside terrorists.

The enemy from within is always a greater danger.

Oh noes! I set you upon the path of madness with the AoG info. :D
We'll probably be playing tag on the obscure Xian stuff.
This stuff is out of the hearing range of people who don't actually have to deal with old time fundies.
I'm still trying to figure out just what made me dig a wee bit into her church last week.
Must be the southern thing of asking who you're related to and what church you go to runs deeper than I thought.

LOL James, You're so sweet making me laugh. Y'all do OK with Gus?

We have a nice supply of Fundy Neo-Pente types up here too (they're not ALL in MS and 'Bama) - Dave and I jokingly(?) referred to the Bother's ex-wife's church as Snake-Handler Bab'tis.

I've been tracking the dark_christian community for a while now - know thine enemies and all that. Plus the Palin stuff is also being RSSed onto the daily_kos feed.

Minor messes, but nothing huge from Gustav.

Did I mention that one of my grand-dad's family was from up Sand Mountain?
I guess it's in my DNA...
