The CNP: Pretty scary stuff!

of the groups that have been simmering in the political crock-pot together for all these years. Now they are ready to serve us up a big heaping helping of fascism. Eat hearty.

their strategy: Liberals, moderates, real libertarians, and clear-headed conservatives need to BAND TOGETHER to defeat these right-wing extremists!

And Bill Frist is apart of them. :\ This group is nuts.

One of the three accomplishments he listed on his tombstone was the Virginia separation of church and state. He must be spinning in his grave. Sigh. At this point, I wish the Founding Fathers would spin OUT of their graves and haunt the hell out of the Anti-Founding Fathers now in Congress.

When I read that I was so stunned. Also check this out from AU:

<The Times’ Kirkpatrick was able to obtain the CNP’s current membership list and reported that its roster includes Focus on the Family founder James C. Dobson, Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation, Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association and Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform. A CNP financial disclosure form for 2002 lists Norquist and Howard Phillips, founder of the ultra-conservative Constitution Party, as directors. The current president of the group is Donald P. Hodel, former executive director of the Christian Coalition.

Other CNP directors include names that would not mean a lot to most people, but they are key players in the right-wing universe. Becky Norton Dunlop is vice president for external relations at the Heritage Foundation. James C. Miller III is former director of Citizens for a Sound Economy. Stuart W. Epperson owns a chain of Christian radio stations. E. Peb Jackson is former president of Young Life. T. Kenneth Cribb Jr., vice president of the CNP, was a domestic policy advisor to President Ronald W. Reagan and runs the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a group that funds right-wing newspapers on college campuses. Ken Raasch is a businessman who works in partnership with popular artist Thomas Kinkade.

Others who have been affiliated with the CNP include TV preachers Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, longtime anti-feminist crusader Phyllis Schlafly, Iran-Contra figure turned right-wing talk radio host Oliver North, former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), wealthy Cali­fornia savings and loan heir Howard Ahmanson, former House Majority Leader Dick Army (R-Texas), Attorney General John Ashcroft and Tommy Thompson, secretary of the U.S. Depart­ment of Health and Human Services.

Republican Party glitterati and top government officials frequently appear at CNP meetings. During the gathering before this year’s GOP convention, The New York Times reported that several Bush administration representatives were scheduled for speeches. Under­secretary of State John Bolton spoke about plans for Iran, Assistant Attorney General Alexander Acosta talked about human trafficking and Dan Senor, who worked for Paul Bremer in Iraq, was scheduled to talk about the war there. >

It also mentions how they were specifically using the gay marriage debate as a wedge issue to get people on their side. They really don't give a damn about it (of course we all knew that already). And also at this meeting Bush promised he will only put on the bench anti-abortion judges. This list shows why and how the "Christian" right got so powerful in the republican party.

...is not our current political system?

The parallels between our current governmental system and Nazi Germany are growing closer by the day.

Also check this out from the article. This explains why you NEVER hear people like Dobson talking about any of Christ's actual teachings. I always thought it was very strange how one claims to be Christian but never talked about anything from the New Testament except the book of Revelation. This also makes sense about why Robertson called one caller on King's show one time a homosexual because he claimed to be republican and disagreed with the speeches that were made that time at the RNC convention (this was taped when he thought the camera's were off).

<The CNP goes way beyond LaHaye and Reed in its effort to embrace the Religious Right. For many years, the late leader of the Christian Recon­struc­tionist movement, Rousas J. Rushdoony, was a member. Reconstructionists espouse a radical theology that calls for trashing the U.S. Constitution and replacing it with the harsh legal code of the Old Testament. They advocate the death penalty for adulterers, blasphemers, incorrigible teen­agers, gay people, “witches” and those who worship “false gods.”>
