Religious Nationalism under the disguise of Christianity.

      Pretty much every right wing nut job in America is signing on to this "Reawaken America" nonsense tour promoting Religious Nationalism under the disguise of Christianity. Yesterday Sarah Palin and Marginal Taylor Greene spoke. Christian Nationalist groups are hitting Colorado pretty hard (Boebert Country). I am not totally surprised by that as I lived in Colorado Springs for awhile and many of these "ministries" are home based there. School boards are a major target and they are working to place far rightwing candidates in a lot of these places.

     A new poll from Pew Research suggests the share of U.S. adults who consider themselves Christian is falling.
Only 63% of Americans self-identify as Christian this year, a marked drop from 75% 10 years ago.
     The declining number of Americans who say they are Christian is offset by a growing number of people who call themselves atheist, agnostic or people of no particular faith. These unaffiliated Americans make up a full 29% of the U.S. population, up from 19% in 2011.
      “The secularizing shifts evident in American society so far in the 21st century show no signs of slowing,” the Pew researchers concluded. “The religiously unaffiliated share of the public is 6 percentage points higher than it was five years ago and 10 points higher than a decade ago.”
     Only 45% of U.S. adults said they pray on a daily basis (down from 58% in a similar 2007 survey). And the number of Americans who say religion is “very important” in their lives is also falling: 41% of Americans consider religion “very important” in their lives, down from 56% in 2007.

​     Data from the Center For Systemic Peace has found that the U.S no longer qualifies as a democracy. They claim that since the Trump years we now sit somewhere in the middle of a democracy and an autocratic state. They're also claiming that the "U.S is closer to a Civil War than anyone would like to believe."
The Center used the same factors to monitor the U.S that they use to monitor foreign countries. The center states that the U.S has declined as a democracy in the last 5 years. A data set has classified the U.S as an anocracy. An anocracy sits between a Democracy and an autocratic State.
     Barbara Walter, a professor at UC San Diego, explained what a Civil War would like in the United States and she said think about the Palestinian Israeli conflict. She said it could last for decades and be just as destructive as the first Civil War we experienced.
     So those of us that have been saying that our Democratic Republic is hanging by a thread are right, unfortunately.
Trump’s literally costing us our country, and forcing us into a dictatorship.

ISIS Rules for Christians in Syria Similar to Goals for America by Freedom From Religion Foundation

With some exceptions or slight rewording. Of course, the FFRF would never challenge Muslims or Sharia law.

ISIS rules:

1.   Christians may not build churches, monasteries, or hermitages in the city or in the surrounding areas.
2.   They may not show the cross or any of their books in the Muslims’ streets or markets, and may not use amplifiers when worshiping or during prayer.
3.   They may not make Muslims hear the reciting of their books or the sounds of church bells, which must be rung only inside their churches.
4.   They may not carry out any act of aggression against ISIS, such as giving refuge to spies and wanted men. If they come to know of any plot against Muslims, they must report it.
5.   They must not perform religious rituals in public.
6.   They must respect Muslims and not criticize their religion.
7.   Wealthy Christians must pay an annual jizya of four gold dinars; middle-class Christians must pay two gold dinars, and the poor must pay one. Christians must disclose their income, and may split the jizya into two payments.
8.   They may not own guns.
9.   They may not engage in commercial activity involving pigs or alcohol with Muslims or in Muslim markets, and may not drink alcohol in public.
10.  They may maintain their own cemeteries.

Sarah Palin Blames the "Lapdog Media" for Trump-McCain Feud

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) isn't taking Donald Trump's side in the public dustup over his comments about Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the man who vaulted Palin onto the national stage by picking her as his running mate in the 2008 election. But she isn't taking McCain's side, either, exactly. "Sen. McCain dedicated his life to serving our country," and he is "heroic" like "all ethical service members," Palin told CNN in an email on Monday, "and Donald Trump is a hero in another arena." What arena is that? Palin:

Everywhere I go, hard-working patriotic Americans — not 'crazies' or 'wacko birds' — ask me to pass on to Mr. Trump encouragement to keep educating the masses about true ramifications of illegal immigration, and in general the real state of our union. [Palin, to CNN]

The problem, Palin suggested, is really with "the Left and lazy media lapdogs," and she encouraged Trump and McCain to make-up and "resolve the media driven wedge between them."  [The Week]

Sarah Palin: “It’s time to impeach”

Sarah Palin called for President Barack Obama’s impeachment Tuesday over his handling of a growing immigration crisis, becoming the most prominent right-wing US politician to make the provocative demand.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee wrote on conservative website Breitbart that Obama’s “unsecured border crisis is the last straw,” and that lawmakers should evict him from the White House, 30 months before his scheduled departure.

“It’s time to impeach,” Palin wrote, focusing on the president’s use of executive orders to ram through legal action opposed by many Republicans.

“President Obama’s rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here,” she added.

“It’s not going to get better, and in fact irreparable harm can be done in this lame-duck term as he continues to make up his own laws as he goes along.”

Palin’s remarks follow those of several far-right Republican politicians who have also demanded Obama’s exit.
