Poll question: Is George W. Bunnypants de facto Religious Leader of Imperial Amerika
NOTE: This poll question deos not ask whether he is the Religious Leader of America or Free America...Free Americans are not included in this poll question.

Only Busheviks and the apathetic and clueless Imperial Subjects of Amerika.


Is Bunnypants* their de facto religious leader?

I am reminded of both the Roman Empire, Medeval England and Nazi Germany here:

In both cases, the Leader was both Supreme Leader and High Pontiff. In Imperial Rome, it was codified, and one of the many Imperial Titles was High Priest/Pontiff of Rome.

Henry VIII most famously broke with Rome and decalred HIMSELF High Pontiff of the newfound Church of England.

With Hitler it was the same, but not codified to my knowledge. He campaigned like Bunnypants*, under the rubric of Old fashioned Christian Values and against Decadent UnChristian Liberals, which naturally included the Jews. He positioned himself, without actually coming out and saying it, as Religious Leader of Germany.


Hell Bunnypants* and Hitler even seem to have had the same AP photographer!





(actually, it seems the more disgusting Bushler/cross photos (there was one where he was given an artificial halo, have been scrubbed so if anyone has a link to THOSE more obvious Hitlerian photos, PLEASE POST THEM)

So, I ask the question again, like Hitler, Caeser, and Henry VIII, is Bunnypants* the de facto Religious Leader of Imperial Amerika (not including free America)?

1. thank you for scaring the living crap out of me
what a truly disturbing thought. Bush as a religious leader....that's nearly as scary as the fact that he has the codes needed to detonate our nuclear arsenal.

9. When bush was crowned, Pat Robertson stepped down from
his post, saying that now bush is the leader. The prophecy has been fulfilled.

2. With all the dominionists in his cabinet...
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 03:49 PM by Monica_L
you betcha.

They're running the dominionists playbook the same as the PNAC playbook. They can commit any crime, no matter how egregious, if in the end it promotes the greater good of Amerika.

3. He is a cynical con artist
using religeon to bolster his standing among dogmatized non-thinkers.
Question is WHAT sect of X-istianity doe he claim to represent?
With the Chimp, organized religeon = organized crime.

4. Sure, but Hitler didn't believe in Christianity, either
That didn't stop him from using it identically to Bunnypants* in the 20s and 30s.

Belief is NOT a prerequisite to being Religious Leader, ESPECIALLY a poltico-religious one.

7. Oh I know
Its the P.T, Barnum effect. Anything to get them into the tent.
From William L Shirer's THIRD REICH, the description of the National Socialist Church was downright scarey. I know I can get flamed for thinking this but in my mind
Chimp + absolute power = Hitler.

You won't see me in the crowd chanting " Sieg Heil" .

5. read this . . . The Despoiling of America . . .
How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State
By Katherine Yurica
February 11, 2004

http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/TheDespoilingOfAmerica.htm

(snip)

This article is the documented story of how a political religious movement called Dominionism gained control of the Republican Party, then took over Congress, then took over the White House, and now is sealing the conversion of America to a theocracy by taking over the American Judiciary. It’s the story of why and how “the wrath of God Almighty” will be unleashed against the middle class, against the poor, and against the elderly and sick of this nation by George W. Bush and his army of Republican Dominionist “rulers.”

(snip)

Dominionism is a natural if unintended extension of Social Darwinism and is frequently called “Christian Reconstructionism.” Its doctrines are shocking to ordinary Christian believers and to most Americans. Journalist Frederick Clarkson, who has written extensively on the subject, warned in 1994 that Dominionism “seeks to replace democracy with a theocratic elite that would govern by imposing their interpretation of ‘Biblical Law.’” He described the ulterior motive of Dominionism is to eliminate “…labor unions, civil rights laws, and public schools.” Clarkson then describes the creation of new classes of citizens:

“Women would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality.”

(snip)

Dominionists have gained extensive control of the Republican Party and the apparatus of government throughout the United States; they continue to operate secretly. Their agenda to undermine all government social programs that assist the poor, the sick, and the elderly is ingeniously disguised under false labels that confuse voters. Nevertheless, as we shall see, Dominionism maintains the necessity of laissez-faire economics, requiring that people “look to God and not to government for help.”

- much, much more . . . important article . . .

14. My experience is that religious kooks follow their own local shepherd
...they tend to not belong to large, mainstream organized religions, but they are extra vocal, and growing in numbers....SCARY

PS: Tom - where is your Hitler picture from? Hindenburg funeral? Todt's funeral?

Thought it might be a prequel shot to Putsch trial shot, but looks much more like a church than government building

15. In a speech in Nuremberg (1938) he did say that he was
finishing (completing?) the work of Jesus.

16. Then look how Brother Adolf treated the churchies after they....
supported him! Brother Dumbya has that same "Old Time REich Wing Religion" that Brother Adolf had, I'm afeard! Adolf and George are two "snakes" that those misled Bible thumpers should never have played with!

17. Well said, Hubert
EVERYONE will ultimately come to regret their support of Bushler.

The Fritz Thyssens and Amerikan Industrialists will ultimately be responsible for their own doom.

Some things never change.

18. Right, now it's the Brown & Root/Halliburton industrialists...
with Bushler as the figurehead. Doesn't it seem as though he's morphing into Pat Robertson? I mean, he sometimes looks a lot like him, except with a drugged-out psycho gleam in his eyes.
