Liberty Counsel: Adopt A Liberal!


The Liberty Counsel, the Christianist outfit behind any lawsuit for Jeebus, has launched an "Adopt A Liberal" campaign, asking for prayers for people they judge to be working for Satan.
Since the landmark 2008 general election, there can be no doubt that a very large percentage of our Nation's leaders have a liberal mindset. The undeniable fact is that the 111th Pelosi-Reid Congress and the Obama Administration demonstrate a far left political philosophy. And since the President nominates federal judges and Justices of the United States Supreme Court, the judicial branch of government could take on a decidedly more liberal bent as the Obama Administration wears on. Liberty Counsel has therefore named this special new prayer-in-action program Adopt a Liberal. And that's exactly what we invite you to do -- adopt a liberal who is in authority for regular, intense prayer in accord with St. Paul's admonition to his disciple, Timothy. In fact, we expect that many of our friends and supporters will choose to adopt many liberals as subjects of regular prayer!
<snip>
The suggested list:
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Congressman Barney Frank, Director John Holdren, Mr. Barry Lynn, Secretary Janet Napolitano, President Barack Obama, Senator Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Olympia Snowe, The "Unknown Liberal".

Suggestion from Joe:
I suppose we could launch our own Adopt An Asshat™ program and ask the Flying Spaghetti Monster to touch them with his Noodley Appendage of Reason, but the list would be soooo long.

Heh! I vote for Joe's suggestion.

6. Funny thing is I act more Christian (by what I was raised to believe it meant) than they do.

Funny and sad. I just do not get these people.

I noticed they called Obama's the most "radically liberal in American History"...I think they would shit themselves if they met FDR.

11. Public Christianity continues to degenerate into magic
Prayer used to be a form of meditation or spiritual grounding. Still is for a lot of people -- but these groups want to turn it into a kind of juju. I can only think it's going to come back and bite them on the ass.

2. I was a godless pro-sodomite liberal once...
Then they prayed for me, and I saw the light and became a pro-war, pro-corporation, pro-insurance company conservative who thinks the poor should just pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and that everyone who disagrees with me is a godless atheist who wants to punch baby Jesus in the face!

Thanks, Liberty Counsel!

3. I think something like this was mocked on the West Wing a few years back
Early in the Bartlett Administration, some "Christian" fundamentalist came up to CJ Cregg and said that on a given calendar day, millions of Christians would be praying for her. She didn't get it. She thought they were being nice, so she said thank you. Then she later found out that it was one of those Adopt a Liberal groups, and got pissed.

7. The longer they don't realize how this turns people off, even on their side, the more elections we
will win.

8. Well, I don't know whether any of the 'liberals' are working for Satan, but ...
I bet that Satan hears all of this group's prayers. ;-)

12. I suppose it's with living in evil secular Britain; but I just find that hysterically funny
If a religious rightie wants to spend time praying that I'll be converted from my wicked left-wing ways, then why not? It will take time away from their campaigning against the teaching of evolution, stem cell research, women's right to choose, and other things that could actually have an effect on society.

14. I pray all day long
And the only thing I pray for is for other people's prayers to go unanswered.

I have a fantastic success rate. Maybe I should write a gospel or something.
