Jesus, Guns and Babies

Mark Burns in South Carolina, for example, was an early Trump supporter in 2016. He’s an evangelical minister, a conspiracy theorist and pastor at the Harvest Praise & Worship Center. He’s running for Congress in the state’s 4th congressional district, and his platform reads like a grab bag of right-wing ideas:
- Our right to bear arms is INHERENT, given to us by God almighty — NOT by any man;
- If we don’t fix these elections NOW, America will be lost. Without open, honest, transparent elections, no other issue matters;
- Life begins at conception;
- Marriage is defined as between one man and one woman;
- Critical Race Theory is Communist, anti-white Racism;
- Vaccine and mask mandates are medical tyranny, and have no place in America;
- The Pelosi budget opens the door wide open to full-blown communism.
A “grab bag” of right-wing ideas, you say? It sounds like a reasonable list of things to run on to me.
The Salon writer is aghast at all of this. Wonder what he would say if he found out I’m a Christian Reconstructionist and read R. J. Rushdoony?

A conspiracy theorist is someone who knows history, human (sin) nature, and can connect seemingly disparate ideas and plans of global leaders. In others words, they are a critical thinker.

The difference between “conspiracy theory” and “breaking news” is down to about 3 weeks.

The country is already lost, we conservatives are on our own and must act accordingly. I’m not saying to give up, just look out for you and your family and be prepared for what is coming.

Any Salon writer is a non-thinking, illogical, emotion-driven fool. They are all welcome to EABODADIAF.
