Religious Bigotry Strikes!

October 31st, 2006 | by Sqotty |

If you are a Christian running for office in Minnesota as a Republican, watch out! The religious bigots in the DFL and their lap-dog supporters in the media, are out to roast you.

Religious persecution against Christians is nothing new. This country was founded by Christians who fled persecution in Europe, coming to the New World where they could practice their beliefs unmolested.

Lutherans were especially persecuted during the Reformation, including priests and other Reformers who burned alive during the early part of the 16th Century.

I thought it was pretty bad in California, where I lived most of my life, where there were people who would look down at you if you professed any inclination to practicing Christianity.

Here in Minnesota, I expected better. Unfortunately, this is in the :

Kessler asked: “The Minneapolis-based Star Tribune reports … that the church you belong to is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod which, it says, regards the Roman Catholic pope as the antichrist. Is this true? Do you share the views of your church? And, why should any Catholic in the Sixth District vote for you if it is true?”

Bachmann replied, “That’s a false statement. … It’s abhorrent, religious bigotry. I love Catholics, I’m a Christian, and my church does not believe that the pope is the antichrist. That’s absolutely false. … I welcome and have as part of our family many Catholic members as well.”

Here we have a Republican candidate for Congress being questioned about her religious views, and the views of the church she belongs to. Yet the only outrage being expressed is by people on the political right.

Over the campaign season, Keith Ellison, a Muslim and former member of the racist Nation of Islam and close associate of Louis Farrakhan, a known racist, has come under fire for those associations. Yet, the “defenders of truth” known as the main stream media and the DFL, decried challenges to Ellison’s affiliations, as being religious bigotry. Never mined the fact that Ellison’s religious beliefs NEVER came under fire. Only his affiliations with the KKK-like organization, Nation of Islam, and its leaders.

From :

The Nation of Islam teaches that Black people were the original humans. Louis Farrakhan has stated that “White people are potential humans…they haven’t evolved yet.”

Bachmann, who is running for congress in the 6th District is being castigated for her religious beliefs and questioned about them. Where are those same so-called “defenders of truth?” Leading the attack!

Unlike challenges to Ellison and his affiliation with known racists, this is pure religious bigotry of the worst sort. Where is the Wetterling Campaign on this gross assault on someone’s religious beliefs? Aside from denying involvement, she is nowhere to be seen.

Lesson to be learned: if you are a Democrat, you can be as racist as you want, freely affiliate with racist organizations like Ellison with the Nation of Islam and Robert Byrd and the KKK; but if you are a practicing Christian and a Republican, watch out! They’ll persecute you for your beliefs, or for the doctrine of your church puts out.
