Help is where you find it -- so I'm recommending one DKOS poster

I've stayed away from Daily Kos because y'all know why, but there's one poster there, DogEmperor, who is the go-to guy for all your Christianist/Dominionist research needs:

http://dogemperor.dailykos.com/

I started out with Palin, went to Assemblies of God and the cell-church movement (in which he might fail to account for Saddleback and their adaptation of that approach for more mainstream megachurches), and fell into Amway, Hobby Lobby and US Plastics -- the corporations that back the takeover (steeplejacking) of non-cult churches until they spill out with feral Russian murderous homophobes. It's like a horror show with Air Force access to nukes, and The Family having access to Senator Clinton.

It's deep, folks, but we should keep looking at the sources to teach us what's what. Bonus: The earlier posts are 100% troll free.

US Plastics??

Reminds me of the Graduate...

Palin as stealth dominionist

Great source, cg.eye.

This guy should be cross-posting here; I just asked him.

He's been through purges himself -- the real ones,

from his place of worship, so he's not going to be sympathetic of any Kool-Aid refreshments.

dogemperor has provided a wealth of information

i've used a lot of those links.

i was under the impression that dogemperor was a she.

I use "guys" as gender neutral

but "emperor" rather than "empress," eh?

Six Degrees of Armageddon....

Oh, and Obama is anti-semitic because he knows Farrakhan..

Dogemperor

and to a lesser degree, troutfishing, are about the only reasons I regret having left DK.

Both provided a wealth of info on the dominionist movement. Their perspective is invaluable in trying to understand the threat of the chritianist hordes. Unfortunately neither received the kind of attention their work warrants.

Palin reminds me of my sister-in-law

Oddly enough, I'm not worried about her. She's too damn busy to spend every spare minute in church, which is what turns you into a religious pod person. There is a practicality about her that is appealing.
I'm not saying that she's not a wingnut fundagelical but I've been around those people all my life and in Sarah's case, her personal ambition may blunt it. If that's true, it's not the worst thing that could happen.
