I know…all I do is shake my head and remain grateful for 2 things right off the top…1) the internet so that we can get information out despite the cowardly media. This information has been out there…they won't listen…but let's not stop telling it. Repeatedly! Eventually they will have to pick it up. And oddly? 2) I am grateful to Palin because without her high profile antics, I would not be writing this blog and my books about Political Dominionism because there would be zero audience. She has done more to bring this dangerous group to light than anyone before – and has given us a platform from which to launch from.

Funny, huh?

Good for you for finding your way out of that cult! How did you manage that? I am sincerely interested in successful walkaway stories. You can always write me at leah@theopalinism.com for private comment.

You are spot on! I have stated this same point, and will continue to repeat it…that the majority of the congregations in these dominionist churches have NO idea the agenda behind the Movement. The leaders at the top are the ones running the show and guiding their flock. Lance Wallnau himself throws out numbers to the tune of 35% of the population in America is born-again evangelical, and only 5% of them are the leaders in "the know". The know – meaning the 7 Mountains Agenda to theocracize America, the world et al…

Dobson and the now deceased D. James Kennedy are among the worst of these Phalse Prophets for Profit…and you are definitely fighting an uphill battle when trying to enlighten those who are brainwashed by these slick snake oil salesmen AND women. That is why I am focused on informing the rest of us who are in the majority and have the power through knowledge to shine a light on their Movement and I pray that will culminate in a repulsion of their dangerous acceptance into our political system. Thank you for coming…and staying!

…yes, without a doubt…the Iraqi people have suffered mightily as a result of this religious crusade by Bush & Co. If this was all about spreading democracy and freeing people from the rule of tyranny by dictators…why didn't we rise up against Pol Pot, or run to the defense of the horrific atrocities in Rwanda? Because they don't have oil…AND they aren't in the middle east where the clash of the 'c'hristians vs the Muslims is pre-destined to happen in the End Times/Apocalypse story according to these self-ordained "crusaders for Christ"!

They WANT to poke a stick into other countries that will react, and they have been at this fro many years – trying to incite an all out WWIII…just look at how peeved the Rs are because Clinton peacefully negotiated the return of the 2 women from North Korea. They hate this peace crap!

I have been reading this blog for a while and I have to say it is one lucky find. My two biggest pet peeves in one place – Sarah Palin and dominionism. Leah, you have done a fantastic job. I came out of evangelicalism about 15 years ago. It was a long and difficult journey, but I am a much better and happier person for it. I saw dominionism at work first hand. It was the catalyst for me to take a second look at what I was involved with. I have also seen that no matter how quiet they might seem at times, they are always planning, planning, planning. I would venture to say that a very large part of the evangelical community is involved in a dominionist group without even knowing it. I have tried to talk to friends and family who are big fans of James Dobson and James Kennedy, et al. They never believe me. And of course the folks who most need to do the research are the ones who will never do it. Thank you Leah – I do believe I am here to stay.

..and you can add Palin to that "deafening" silence. Vigilance I say…vigilance…(NOT to be confused with paranoia, mind you)

I'm so happy you posted this today! I cannot fathom why this is not the headline at every news organization! I wish the international press would get in an uproar about this because maybe then it would get some attention here.

And if anyone has not seen those Rumsfeld memo covers you can read the whole article and get to the slideshow here:

Apparently, Rumsfeld felt that blatantly using this religious imagery would be a powerful appeal to Bush – and it was.
