Forward to the Past—An Explanation of How We Became What We Are (Which includes, ‘The Arrest of Professor Christian Mostly’)

By Katherine Yurica
June 5, 2009

The name of the game was “Bible Roulette,” and it was the greatest religious political gamble of all time. A Swiftian political satire that takes the reader to the future to look back on the past.

 

 

The Despoiling of America

How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State
by Katherine Yurica
 

Most Americans have been aware that religious right Republicans have become extremely active politically in the last twenty years. But because we're Americans and we're mostly tolerant of other people's religious beliefs, their rise to power hasn't really troubled us. We should be troubled. There is now overwhelming evidence that conservative Christians set out to takeover the government of the United States and impose their culture and values upon all Americans. This article is not a theory--it is factual and historic. The proof is in this essay. Dont miss this one.

A Rather Large and Significant “Modest Proposal”

For Preventing Democrats from Interfering in the Affairs of State and all Governing Matters In Which They Have No Training Or Understanding and How to Prevent Them from Being a Burden on the Country Along With a Plan For Making Them Beneficial to the Public

By Edith Ann Getwell
October 1, 2011

When Gov. Rick Perry took the stage at his prayer rally, he introduced his close friend Alice Patterson, who is deeply involved in C. Peter Wagner's Leadership Institute, where she focuses on "racial healing" in order to get African Americans to leave the Democratic Party, because as she says, that party is "literally controlled by demonic spirits!" Similarly, Cindy Jacob's prophetic word that the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell triggered mass bird deaths but significantly, Rick Perry's Response prayer rally has gone further, it "healed the land of Texas from the curse of Native American cannibals!" We thought Edith Getwell's essay will show the world the benefits to our future American growth and development should these folks gain control over our government!

 

 

On Robbing Peter to Pay St. Paul

Or Why the Supreme Court Erred
on the Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization Case

By Katherine Yurica
April 29, 2011


This story began when Arizona's State legislators passed an unfortunate law in 1997 that granted a dollar-for-dollar tax credit to tax payers who chose to make payments of up to $500 each to any of the states "school tuition organizations" to help children attend private religious schools. The problem is the law allows the qualified schools to discriminate on the basis of a child's religion, but no one seemed to notice that fact--

 

A "Lone Pamphleteer" Answers the Supreme Court

Or How the Court Took a Perilous Journey Into Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and Abruptly into The Professor's Lecture!

By Katherine Yurica
March 21, 2010

Inspired by Chief Justice John Roberts' statement, "The First Amendment protects more than just the individual on a soapbox and the lonely pamphleteer," this article takes on the Supreme Court's majority in an unforgettable examination of the Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In fact, you may just want to pass this essay on to anyone you know who was depressed by the Court's decision.

 

 

 

Truth or Consequences:
Why America's Open Society Is Collapsing

By Katherine Yurica

November 25, 2009

Recently, Americans have watched and heard false and outrageous allegations that have been directed against President Obama and congressional leaders who are trying to pass a needed revision of America's healthcare system, which, according to the Census Bureau, left an estimated 45.7 million people without health insurance in 2007. The opposition and frenzy has reached almost unspeakable heights, as reform minded legislators are labeled as Nazis. What is behind the attacks? Who are the leaders? As Paul Krugman pointed out, "The point is that the takeover of the Republican Party by the irrational right is no laughing matter. Something unprecedented is happening here
and it's very bad for America." Read Truth or Consequences now.

Mr. Smith Rewrites the Constitution

By Thomas Geoghegan

Should the filibuster be declared unconstitutional? Thomas Geoghegan makes a coherent argument that our present day Senate filibuster does indeed violate the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. Citing from the Federalist papers with a quote from Hamilton, who dismissed a supermajority rule for a quorum by saying: "All provisions which require more than a majority of any body to its resolutions have a direct tendency to embarrass the operations of the government and an indirect one to subject the sense of the majority to that of the minority." Geoghegan writes, "senators no longer had to keep talking. Nowadays, they don't even have to start; they just say they will, and that's enough. Senators need not be on the floor at all. They can be at home watching Jimmy Stewart on cable. Senate Rule 22 now exists to cut off what are ghost filibusters, disembodied debates."

 

 

Confronting Humpty Dumpty's Reasoning in a Homeowner's Association

By Katherine Yurica
January 25, 2012

Sometimes it's necessary to approach a problem from a different perspective. This essay definitely does that. But if one is going to try to find out whether or not a law has been broken, or is being misinterpreted, or simply is not applicable, one must read and study that law! There's no getting around it! And there is no better help to achieve that goal than Alice's reasoning, even though she is in a Wonderland!

Two New York Times Must-Read Editorials on the Supreme Court's expected "Threat to Fair Elections"

Read the two important editorials opposing the Supreme Court's apparent lunge to grant corporations human constitutional rights.

We also recommend two of Katherine Yurica's essays: First, "Has Judge Alito Violated His Oath of Office? And Is There a Legal Tie-in Between Abortion and Corporate Power in the U.S.?" This essay delves into the faulty reasoning behind the desire to grant corporations human constitutional rights. Secondly, we recommend "The Late Great Supreme Court, An Examination of the Dead Constitution Heresy and Why It Is Causing the Court to Die a Slow and Painful Unconstitutional Death," which examines the growth and development of the doctrine adopted by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court and reveals why and how the doctrine violates the judicial code of ethics.

A Letter to God On Universal Health Care:

(With carbons to Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Sara Palin, and the rest of the Republican Party)

By Alice Ina Wonderland
September 2, 2009

Dear God, I need to let you know what’s happening on earth in order to find out if it’s what’s happening in heaven since they are both supposed to be the same (Matthew 6:10). So I want to know if you have an anti-universal-health-care campaign going on in heaven too? And if you do—why did Jesus spend so much time going around healing the sick?

The Late Great Supreme Court

An Examination of the “Dead Constitution” Heresy and Why It Is Causing the Court to Die a Slow and Painful Unconstitutional Death

By Katherine Yurica
July 26, 2009

Chief Justice John Roberts acknowledged the "unparalleled ability" to prove guilt or innocence using DNA evidence but in a stunning and appalling 5 to 4 decision, the Supreme Court's conservative majority threw out significant due process claims and denied the right of a prisoner to obtain post-conviction DNA testing that might prove his innocence. The court sided with Alaska, the only state in the nation with no known case of a prisoner receiving DNA testing. The New York Times wrote, Roberts treated the DNA breakthrough "more as an irritant than an opportunity." The question is why? Yurica examines the ideological grounds behind the decision and asks why Antonin Scalia did not recuse himself from participating. Read all about it here.

On Defining “Dominionism”
and “The Cultural Mandate”:

Is It a New Anti-Christian Religion?

By Katherine Yurica

May 1, 2009

Some years ago I felt the term “religious right” was accurate enough for describing a large segment of the church world’s involvement in American “conservative” politics, but it seemed inadequate as a term when one struggled to understand the theological underpinnings that were driving the movement. In fact, it became obvious that a new religious doctrine was being taught that urged Christians “To take back America!” not just as a political objective but also as a theological and religious necessity.

 

 

Is It "The End of Christian America" or the Beginning of The Pilgrim's Progress?

By Katherine Yurica
Revised April 21, 2009

Newsweek published a well written, brilliant, but flawed piece, in that it prematurely assumes the Christian religious-political movement has arrived at a “failed” crossroads when in fact, it is growing into a worldwide phenomenon. Titled “The End of Christian America” and dated April 13, 2009, Jon Meacham’s article makes it clear that “rumors of the death of Christianity are greatly exaggerated.” However, he apparently accepted the latest statistics that show fewer people think America is a “Christian nation” along with the fact that the percentage of Christians is shrinking from 86 percent in 1990 to 76 percent now, which is taken as the harbinger that predicts the end of the dream that would establish an American Christian state.

 

 

Excerpts from The Lost Book of Wisdom
by Katherine Yurica

The book was written from the point of view of ancient seers who walked like patriarchs through their city which was built to accommodate them and their students. One of the major questions the book seeks to answer is how much of modern science could have been deduced in the ancient past by brilliant observations and analysis. Thus secrets of the universe were revealed in glimpses of radiant simplicity as seers unfolded the nature of light to their earnest listeners, disclosing a cosmos that meshes with our own 'modern' views. For instance, how could ancient seers know with certainty that the cosmos is not infinite nor is it populated by stars scattered evenly throughout infinity? How did they know about the scientific method and how did they define it? Read and enjoy this small sample of Yurica's poetry and art.

 

 

Rick Warren's Political Religion:

Because Rick Warren was invited to deliver the inaugural invocation at the presidential ceremony in Washington D.C. in January, which caused a tidal wave of objections, the Yurica Report has obtained a copy of the video Warren taped to urge Californian's to support Proposition 8, and which imposes Mr. Warren's religious beliefs and prohibitions upon the state. California Attorney General, Jerry Brown has now filed a brief in the current lawsuit, stating that Proposition 8, which passed, is "unconstitutional."

See our new material and the analysis, which shows the modus operandi of the pastor in "Rick Warren's Forum: How to Trick Candidates Into Giving Themselves a Religious Test" by Katherine Yurica

In addition to the video of Mr. Warren, we also recommend another article titled, What's the Matter With Rick Warren? By Sarah Posner, dated December 17, 2008. She writes: "Democrats, in their zeal to appear friendly to evangelical voters, have chosen celebrity preacher and best-selling author Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at Barack Obama's inauguration.

 

 

 

How to Profit From the Coming Rapture: Getting Ahead When You’re Left Behind By Steve and Evie Levy as told to Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman

Katherine Yurica Reviews a Book:

It is after all, a humorous book. It is meant to lampoon. But at the same time it is perhaps a surprisingly sincere effort. It does not belittle or mock Christians or the Bible. It teaches and guides the reader, while causing laughter to erupt spontaneously. The authors (Weiner and Davilman), follow the core concepts of Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins’ work in the Left Behind series. But with a difference! And what a difference it is!

 

 

 

The Torture Report
The New York Times
December 18, 2008

Most Americans have long known that the horrors of Abu Ghraib were not the work of a few low-ranking sociopaths. All but President Bush’s most unquestioning supporters recognized the chain of unprincipled decisions that led to the abuse, torture and death in prisons run by the American military and intelligence services. Now, a bipartisan report by the Senate Armed Services Committee has made what amounts to a strong case for bringing criminal charges against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld...

What’s Good for G.M. Is Good for the Army


By WESLEY K. CLARK
November 16, 2008, N.Y. Times

Some economists question the wisdom of Washington’s intervening to help the Big Three, arguing that the automakers should pay the price for their own mistakes or that the market will correct itself. But we must act: aiding the American automobile industry is not only an economic imperative, but also a national security imperative.

Mavericking Her Way Into the White House

Did Sarah Palin’s Debate Statements and Strategies Constitute Fraud Against the American People?

By Katherine Yurica

October 11, 2008

The choice of which candidate Americans vote to become the next leader of the United States may be the most important vote that anyone has cast not only in our lifetime, but in all time. Mark DeMoss, the former chief of staff to the late Jerry Falwell said: “Too many evangelicals and religious conservatives are too preoccupied with values and faith and pay no attention to competence. We don’t apply this approach to anything else in life, including choosing a pastor.”

The Alleged Terrorist Barack Hussein Obama
by Frank Rich

Some voters told reporters that they didn’t want Obama to run, let alone win, should his very presence unleash the demons who have stalked America from Lincoln to King. After consultation with Congress, Michael Chertoff, the homeland security secretary, gave Obama a Secret Service detail earlier than any presidential candidate in our history — in May 2007, some eight months before the first Democratic primaries.

 

 

 

Keating Economics: John McCain and the Making of a Financial Crisis

Sarah Palin Used Tax Dollars to Fund Dominionist Churches
by dogemperor

Over the past few days, I've done reporting on Sarah Palin's extensive dominionist connections--Including the attempt to run her as a "stealth" dominionist candidate and her connections to some scary dominionist groups including not just "Joel's Army" folks but a far-right Christian Reconstructionist political party linked to domestic terrorism.

Also the link will lead to a Yurica Report editor's note that in turn links to a startling video, titled "Palin's Churches, Thomas Muthee, Witchcraft and the Third Wave," by Bruce Wilson that includes portions of Sarah Palin's talk to the Master's Commission at Wasilla Assembly of God. Also the link will allow you to see another startling video by Bruce Wilson titled, "Palin and the Holy Laughter Annointing."

Soros on How to Fix the Banking Crisis
By George Soros


The emergency legislation initially presented to Congress was ill-conceived – or more accurately, not conceived at all. As Congress tried to improve what Treasury originally requested, an amalgam plan emerged that consisted of Treasury’s original Troubled Asset Relief Programme (Tarp) and a quite different capital infusion programme in which the government invests and stabilises weakened banks and profits from the economy’s eventual improvement. The capital infusion approach will cost tax payers less in future years, and may even make money for them.

 

The Financial Crisis: An Interview with George Soros on April 4, 2008

By George Soros, interviewed by Judy Woodruff

Judy Woodruff: You write in your new book, The New Paradigm for Financial Markets,[1] that "we are in the midst of a financial crisis the likes of which we haven't seen since the Great Depression." Was this crisis avoidable?

George Soros: I think it was, but it would have required recognition that the system, as it currently operates, is built on false premises. Unfortunately, we have an idea of market fundamentalism, which is now the dominant ideology, holding that markets are self-correcting; and this is false because it's generally the intervention of the authorities that saves the markets when they get into trouble. Since 1980, we have had about five or six crises: the international banking crisis in 1982, the bankruptcy of Continental Illinois in 1984, and the failure of Long-Term Capital Management in 1998, to name only three.

 

 

Who Really Told McCain to Select Sarah Palin or Else?

Moments after Senator John McCain announced his running mate — Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, an outspoken abortion opponent — his campaign sprang into action to fan flames of enthusiasm among his party’s demoralized conservative supporters.

 

 

The Grandpa and the Cheerleader:
And How McCain Slew McAble

Or the Melt Down of the Republican Party in 2008 – Take Your Pick

By Katherine Yurica

It began a long time ago when McCain was young. He had a brother who seemed to always do everything right but McCain managed to mess up one thing after another. So the long and short of it is this: McCain slew his brother McAble and God put a mark on McCain so that wherever he traveled and spoke, people wouldn’t listen to him.

The Palin Choice and the
Reality of the Political Mind
by George Lakoff

Election campaigns matter because who gets elected can change reality. But election campaigns are primarily about the realities of voters' minds, which depend on how the candidates and the external realities are cognitively framed. They can be framed honestly or deceptively, effectively or clumsily. And they are always framed from the perspective of a worldview.

 

 

The Sarah Palin Strategy

OhioBlues

Upon learning the news, Matthew Staver, Chairman of Liberty Alliance Action, Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law said of the choice, "Absolutely brilliant. . . ." The excitement was palpable among conservative leaders when they heard that Gov. Palin was Sen. McCain's choice for Vice President. There is a high level of optimism among conservative leaders that the McCain-Palin combination is a ticket that will connect with values voters."

 

 

Why the Bible Commands You to Be a Liberal (And Vote for Democrats)

by Katherine Yurica

On June 3, 2008, David Klinghoffer, a senior fellow at the right-wing Discovery Institute, published a book titled, How Would God Vote? Why the Bible Commands You to Be a Conservative. We think Klinghoffer's book deserves to be answered. Rather than write a new article, however, we decided to rename an older essay that has escaped popular attention because there is an urgent need to quickly tell the other side of the story. We in fact originally published the biblical basis for the liberal Christian's view in January of 2005. The book, titled Bloodguilty Churches by Katherine Yurica, is still available as a paperback. In addition, the Ben Yehuda Press, a Jewish book publisher has announced the publishing of a response to Klinghoffer in August, 2008 titled How Would God REALLY Vote? A Jewish Response to David Klinghoffer. Click here to read our essay on why and how the Bible asks you to be a liberal and vote for Democrats.

 

 

Mr. Obama’s Profile in Courage


There are moments — increasingly rare in risk-abhorrent modern campaigns — when politicians are called upon to bare their fundamental beliefs. In the best of these moments, the speaker does not just salve the current political wound, but also illuminates larger, troubling issues that the nation is wrestling with.

 

 

 

When Christianity Is UnAmerican

By Terri Murray

There is a growing chasm between the values of America's founders and the values of the theocratic Christian right.

The Christian right claim that their version of authoritarianism is a more authentic interpretation of American values than the Enlightenment values so cherished by our nation's forebears. But their values are irreconcilable with those of America's past. Here's how, in an incredibly lucid analysis.

 

 

How the Culture War Has Spread to the Fine Arts:

An Answer to H. R. Rookmaaker and
Francis Schaeffer

By Katherine Yurica

Should art be Christian? Should Georges Rouault replace Picasso? In fact, the issue is one of dominance rather than taste. The question is: “Whose art shall reign supreme in our world?” Christian art or secular art? But my question is, “Should art be judged by the belief system of the artist or his religious mentors or should it be judged on the basis of the vision the work itself

The FBI Deputizes Business

by Matthew Rothschild

Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does—and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU. But there may be more to it than that. One business executive, who showed me his InfraGard card, told me they have permission to “shoot to kill” in the event of martial law.

 

 

Harry Potter and the Preachers' Curses
Can the Books Be Read as a Manual on Political Warfare?

By Katherine Yurica

Some saw the publishing of the Harry Potter books as a threat to the churches, to institutions and to their drive for domination. While J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books have caused an inexplicable sense of elation to rise in the air—that very sense of liberty has so worried proponents of the new Domination Theology (as opposed to Liberation Theology) that for the first time in half a century book burnings came back.

 

 

Militant Atheists Are Wrong

A flurry of literary attacks on God
may also be closing the book on imagination.

Voltaire famously quipped that if God didn't exist, he would have to be invented. American publishers would enthusiastically agree because God, it turns out, is a consistent moneymaker -- especially, these days, for those who want to attack him.

 

 

Homeland Security Enlists Clergy to Quell Public Unrest if Martial Law Ever Declared

KSLA News 12 has discovered that the clergy would help the government with potentially their biggest problem: Us. For the clergy team, one of the biggest tools that they will have in helping calm the public down or to obey the law is the bible itself, specifically Romans 13. Dr. Tuberville elaborated, "because the government's established by the Lord, you know. And, that's what we believe in the Christian faith. That's what's stated in the scripture."

 

 

An Evangelical Coup in America's Military?

Michael Weinstein

We are facing a national security threat in this country that is every bit as significant in magnitude, width and breadth internally as that presented externally by the now-resurgent Taliban and Al Qaeda. And it is the destruction of the U.S. constitutionally mandated wall separating church and state, in the technologically most lethal organization ever created by humankind, which is our honorable and noble military.

A study by the GAO found that nearly 55,000 tax exempt organizations had almost $1 billion in unpaid federal taxes as of September 30, 2006. About 1,500 of these entities each had over $100,000 in federal tax debts with some owing tens of millions of dollars. Willful failure to remit payroll taxes is a felony under U.S. tax law.

What Can Be Done to Correct the Direction of a Manifestly Religious and Ideological Supreme Court?

 

Justice Denied:
The Supreme Court's Dark Slide
Into the Power Bog of Political
and Religious Domination

Justice John Roberts’s court is emerging as the Warren court’s mirror image.

Is it time to talk about impeachment?

Chris Hedges: "I Don’t Believe in Atheists"

By Chris Hedges

Yurica Report editor's note: This is one of the most inspiring statements we have read on what religion and God mean to those of us who are believers. Chris Hedges statement that "God is better understood as a verb rather than a noun," is completely in accordance with biblical literature. Consider the fact that in the Bible, the name of God is stated as Jehovah--which is the incommunicable name of God; and then as Jehovah Rapha (I am the Lord who healeth thee); Jehovah Jireh (I am the Lord who provides for thee); Jehovah Nissi (I am thy banner) and Jehovah Shalom (I am peace).

The World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army

by Jeremy Scahill

Someone who is deeply linked to the Christian right, and to the current Administration, has turned around and started what has become the world's most powerful private mercenary army. These guys are like neo-Crusaders. To have them on the government payroll to the tune of $750 million, operating in a Muslim country, should be frightening to everyone who understands that.

Infiltrating the U.S. Military
Gen. Boykin’s “Kingdom Warriors” On the Road to Abu Ghraib and Beyond

By Katherine Yurica

First the hard right dominionists took over the Southern Baptist Convention with its 16 million members and a fortune in corporate businesses. Then they took over the Republican Party. Now there is evidence dominionists are trying to take over the U. S. military. The article examines several new questions: Is there a direct connection between the Southern Baptist Convention and Pentecostal churches like John Ashcroft's Assemblies of God to General Boykin, Stephen Cambone and Donald Rumsfeld? Is it true that U.S. taxpayers are paying the seminary bills to educate chaplains who are planning to supplant the U.S. government? Do not miss this solid article.

Public Stoning:

Two really devilish guys materialized in Toccoa, Ga., last month to harangue 600 true believers on the gospel of a thoroughly theocratic America. Along with lesser lights of the religious far right who spoke at American Vision's "Worldview Super Conference 2006," Herb Titus and Gary North called for nothing short of the overthrow of the United States of America.

 

 

The Growing Threat of Right-Wing Christians

By Onnesha Roychoudhuri, AlterNet.
Posted July 19, 2006.

"I don't want to be alarmist, but this is actually quite alarming," Michelle Goldberg said. She was referring to the subject of her new book, "Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism," which chronicles the steady rise of the neocons of Christianity. Whether she's attending a Ten Commandments conference or joining Tony Perkins' conference calls to listen in on what D.C. agenda will be passed on to congregations, Goldberg's reporting offers insight into a movement that has reshaped the nation's political and cultural landscape. Goldberg did not go undercover, nor wear any disguise. Rather, she simply showed up, listened and learned. And what she has learned is definitely alarming.

 

 

 

In the Beginning God Created an Open Society
(Guess Who’s Trying to Close It)

By Katherine Yurica

July 21, 2006

In Genesis, the God of the Bible created an open society. We know this because God had the power to exclude the Serpent
from the Garden of Eden, but God chose to allow the Serpent to stay along with his contrary voice and vision. It was a gamble
God was willing to make. He simply rejected coercive power over his creation. In the end, it cost God everything he loved—including his only begotten son.

Or Why Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is Correct in His Assessment of the Late 2004 Election (which was sadly murdered by the G.O.P., may it rest in peace). And Why Salon.com’s Article Attacking Kennedy is Wrong.
 
By Katherine Yurica

On June 3, 2006 Farhad Manjoo, a 27 year old writer for Salon.com, penned a denunciation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s article, “Was the 2004 Election Stolen?” published by Rolling Stone. Katherine Yurica answers him.

 

 

The Marriage Boomerang Amendment
Or the Regulation of Everyone’s Marriage in the U.S.A.

By Katherine Yurica
June 6, 2006

(With a little help from Edith Earle Fonder)

 I know and you know that the President and his dominionist congress have called this the “Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment.” But don’t let them fool you. Folks, wake up! This amendment isn’t about homosexual marriages—the word “homosexual” isn’t even mentioned in it. It’s about you and your marriage and how it can be controlled in the not so distant future!

 

 

 

Was the 2004 Election Stolen? "Yes," Says Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted -- enough to have put John Kerry in the White House.

BY ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR

Like many Americans, I spent the evening of the 2004 election watching the returns on television and wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory for John Kerry, had gotten it so wrong. By midnight, the official tallies showed a decisive lead for George Bush -- and the next day, lacking enough legal evidence to contest the results, Kerry conceded.

 

 

 

Why Secularists Get the Bible and the Religious Left Wrong

A Response to Barry Seidman's article:
"A Critique of the New Religious Left"

By Katherine Yurica

Barry Seidman, citing Hector Avalos in his book: Fighting Words: The Origin of Religious Violence, makes the argument that the Abrahamic religious texts can never be reconciled with democracy because when read in a certain light, those texts are violent to the core and ultimately spawn hatred, war and violence. From such scriptures neither love nor democracy can emerge. I disagree—Avalos and Seidman have got it all wrong!

 

 


 

Outing Creeping Dominionism

A Response to an Evangelical’s Attack

By Katherine Yurica

Katherine Yurica digs into the Dominionism movement and exposes the true nature of the doctrine millions of American Christians have taken to heart. For the first time, she introduces her readers to the man who is credited with writing and inspiring the religious doctrines that provided a new theological basis for regressive economics and politics that would counter traditional Christian progressive thought. In fact, the combining of conservative economics with edicts that appear to be out of the mouth of God, may be seen as one of the most brilliant and powerful political concepts ever written. The man who founded Dominionism has empowered the greedy as no man has ever done: he’s made greed a virtue!

 

 


 

 

Tim LaHaye, and His Temperament Theory

All about LaHaye before he co-authored the Left Behind series


An excerpt from The New Messiahs

By Katherine Yurica

When Dr. Tim LaHaye complained that his photograph in Time magazine wasn’t flattering enough, he said it to a national audience. He was chatting amiably with Phil Donahue while Donahue’s audience made up their own minds about his good looks. However, it wasn’t the first time the Southern Baptist minister appeared on a nationally televised program. He was a frequent guest on the Jim Bakker Show, (before Bakker’s conviction and imprisonment) and on Pat Robertson’s 700 Club. In fact, his influence spread to the highest corridors of power. He was an honored guest at the White House where he was consulted by Reagan administration officials for his opinion on potential appointees. Who is Tim LaHaye anyway?

 

 

 


 

 

What the ‘Left Behind’ Series Really Means

Have we finally become the dumbest mofos on the planet?

 By Joe Bageant

“The best thing about the Left Behind books is the way the non-Christians get their guts pulled out by God.”

 -- 15-year old fundamentalist fan of the Left Behind series

That is the sophisticated language and appeal of America’s all-time best selling adult novels celebrating the ethnic cleansing of non-Christians at the hands of Christ. If a Muslim were to write an Islamic version of last book in the Left Behind series, Glorious Appearing, and publish it across the Middle East, Americans would go berserk. Yet tens of millions of Christians eagerly await and celebrate an End Time when everyone who disagrees with them will be murdered in ways that make Islamic beheading look like a bridal shower. Jesus -- who apparently has a much nastier streak than we have been led to believe—merely speaks and “the bodies of the enemy are ripped wide open down the middle.” In the book Christians have to drive carefully to avoid “hitting splayed and filleted corpses of men and women and horses.”

The Battle for the Control of the Press

A comprehensive new report augmented by the Yurica Report reveals a devastating attack on our free press by the Bush administration.

A host of recent developments have made it clear that the Bush White House is doing battle against the journalistic standards and practices that underpin our democracy. With its unprecedented campaign to undermine and stifle independent journalism, Bush & Co. have demonstrated a brazen contempt for the Constitution and considerable fear of an informed public.

Powerful Government Accounting Office Report
Confirms key 2004 stolen election findings


by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman

As a legal noose appears to be tightening around the Bush/Cheney/Rove inner circle, a shocking government report shows the floor under the legitimacy of their alleged election to the White House is crumbling.

The latest critical confirmation of key indicators that the election of 2004 was stolen comes in an extremely powerful, penetrating report from the Government Accountability Office that has gotten virtually no mainstream media coverage.

Blackwell’s Un-American Scheme:
 
Under the Guise of “Character and Civic Renewal”
Ohio State Foists a Religious Moral Code upon Its Citizens

by Katherine Yurica

J. Kenneth Blackwell has stepped to the forefront of the American culture wars. He has posted his official endorsement of a 20-point religious moral code claimed to be “a shared vocabulary of character-building ethics” on Ohio’s official Secretary of State web site. Blackwell wrote, “Character is the cornerstone of American citizenship. And good citizenship is the foundation of community. But to a lot of people, civic renewal means the opportunity to not only religionize our government, but, as we shall see, to create a new religion that is decidedly not Christianity. Instead, it is an opportunity to convert our citizens into docile followers of a new authoritarian rule. Includes a linked glossary of definitions of terms plus parallel columns that compare the text.

Voters' Receipt Program--How American Citizens Can Foil Attempts to Rig Voting Machines! It's here now--and It will Defeat Voting Fraud!

If you're tired of the depressing thought that Republican Party Operatives will steal all future elections, think again! If the GOP-controlled-Congress along with their state and county officials, continue to refuse to vote for or purchase voting machines that issue a receipt, as is likely, we can still stop election fraud for the 2006 and 2008 elections. We can stop it dead in its tracks by a simple method that will only cost one or two pennies per voter! The Yurica Report has designed a method of preventing criminal fraud in elections in America. But if the method fails to prevent criminal manipulation of the votes, it will provide concrete evidence of the existence of fraud that will force law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute and cause courts to invalidate fraudulent results. If we want freedom--if we want to insure that liberty will prevail for our children and grandchildren--sign up now and distribute this beautifully simple system to every member of both houses of congress and to every organization, church and group who love America!

The Big Lie GOP Combatants Tell About Democrats
And How to Respond

June 25, 2005

By Katherine Yurica

Most folks don’t know that the Bible tells Democrats exactly what to do when they have been slandered. The reason Republican Combatants have to lie about Democrats is this: if they told the truth—everyone, including all true Christians would either leave the militant Republican Party and join the Democrats (or other parties), or would actively seek to change the Republican Party back to the party of Abraham Lincoln.

What Did Mr. Bush’s 2nd Inaugural Address Really Mean?
Biblical Code Unraveled

By Katherine Yurica

Mr. Bush’s second inaugural address has puzzled observers around the world. Mr. Bush admits he copied one line from Natan Sharansky. Few realize he copied several lines from another source. Journalists have pointed out he used the words, “free, freedom or liberty” forty-nine times. Not many observers, however, have questioned why, nor have they asked, “What did Mr. Bush mean by these words?” The answer to this question is important for Americans and the world to understand. Katherine Yurica gives a startling analysis of Mr. Bush’s true meaning in this essay.

Conquering by Stealth and Deception

Americans and the main-stream media have been very slow in catching on to the fact that we are in a war—a war that is cultural, religious and political--a war that uses stealth and deception and the rules of engagement written by the enemies of representative democracy. Unless Americans wake up--we could lose that war.

How Bush Pushed Gasoline Prices Sky High

Reported by Katherine Yurica

 

When George Bush vowed he would fill the nations Strategic Petroleum Reserves to capacity, the administration began purchasing oil. Lots of oil. Forty million barrels of oil. These purchases drove the price of crude oil up and up--to a twelve year high. But the higher the prices went, the more American citizens had to pay for gasoline and for home heating oil. In just one month Americans paid between $500 million and $1 billion in increased costs. Read on:

 


 

The New Messiahs

By Katherine Yurica


Who they are, where they come from and what their plans are for you.

What the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) projected as America's future military goals in publications written in 1998 and earlier, Katherine Yurica's excerpts from The New Messiahs reveal the domestic agenda that the Bush administration has adopted.

The plans and policies come straight out of the religious right's talk shows from the 1980s, especially from the transcripts of the 700 Club where Pat Robertson led the Christian right to embrace political positions that were designed to destroy American civil liberties and American social programs such as social security. The transcripts reveal the intent was to change the very structure of our government and to exclude all liberals from holding office in America. One chapter from KatherineYurica's New Messiahs is excerpted here. Warning: it's shocking.

Cheney cabal hijacked US
foreign policy’

By Edward Alden in Washington

Vice-President Dick Cheney and a handful of
others had hijacked the government's foreign
policy apparatus, deciding in secret to carry
out policies that had left the US weaker and
more isolated in the world...In a scathing attack
on the record of President George W. Bush,
Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to
Mr Powell until last January, said: “What I saw
was a cabal between the vice-president of the
United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary
of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, on critical issues
that made decisions that the bureaucracy did not
know were being made. Read the story here
and Col. Wilkerson's transcript here.

 

 

 

Cheney For Legalized
Torture

From the New York Times

Amid all the natural and political disasters
it faces, the White House is certainly tireless
in its effort to legalize torture. This week,
Vice President Dick Cheney proposed a
novel solution for the moral and legal problems
raised by the use of American soldiers to
abuse prisoners and the practice of turning
captives over to governments willing to act
as proxies in doing the torturing. Mr. Cheney
wants to make it legal for the Central Intelligence
Agency to do this wet work.

 

 

The Dark Heart of Dick Cheney
by Georgie Anne Geyer

But this week, the vice president took a turn into
the deepest heart of human darkness. This week,
unprecedented in history, an elected vice president
of the United States of America proposed that
Congress legally authorize the torture of foreigners
by Americans. The Washington Post titled its
devastating editorial "Vice President for Torture."
I would say that the deceptive man from sunny
Wyoming has become the Marquis de Sade of
America. Think about it -- he is insistent upon
making torturers of many of our young soldiers --
your children.

Bush and Easy Certainty
by Ron Suskind
George W. Bush, clearly, is one of history's
great confidence men. That is not meant in the
huckster's sense, though many critics claim that
on the war in Iraq, the economy and a few other
matters he has engaged in some manner of bait-
and-switch...he clearly feels that unflinching
confidence has an almost mystical power. It can
all but create reality.

New York Times bestselling author,
Eric Alterman writes a short and powerful
inquiry, questioning the behavior of George

and finding clear contradictions,
Eric Alterman dares to raise questions
that demand honest answers.
Where Was George?

 

 

September 11th and The Bush
Administration: Compelling Evidence
for Complicity
Kent State Associate Professor
Walter E. Davis became concerned not
only over the president's behavior on the
morning of September 11th, but why the terrorist
attacks were not prevented. Citing sources and
giving links, Davis offers twenty-two points that cry
out for accountability. It's time for Americans to face the
possibility that the administration and agencies
of the U.S. government may have been grossly
negligent, or even worse, that there is compelling
evidence for complicity.

 

 

Two Loud Words
William Rivers Pitt, Managing Editor of Truthout,
says, "They received all these warnings and went
on vacation for a month down in Texas. September
11 could have and should have been prevented.
Why? Because Bush knew."

 

 

9/11 Chair: Attack Was
Preventable
Thomas Kean, the former
Republican governor of New Jersey is ready
to point to top Bush officials, including Bush
himself. Major revelations are coming.

 

 

Evidence in Search of a Verdict:

 


Coulterism, the New
Face of the Republican Party?
Not only is McCarthyism back, it's
back with a vengence: libel and
slander are liberally applied to help
create a one party nation. Mark
Zaid's review reveals the ugly side
of the GOP.

Book Reviews & Essays

 

 

Honey & Brine
by Barbara Kaplan
offers one, two and three act plays
in the form of exquisite poetry.
Memorable pieces like "Plato,
You're a Knuckle Head!" knocks
the reader off his keister. Kaplan's
poems are a tale told full of the
sound and fury and pain of the
twentieth century: its wars,
its men, its women. It's how we
lived and how we died. How we
hated and how we loved. (May be

Judging by our popular culture,
Wisdom is something that has
been lost by Americans.
One
hopes we will find it again
lest we lose it permanently, with
whole generations of people
having no idea what wisdom is
and how it is employed and
what benefits it bestows upon
its seekers. For my part, I offer
you
The Lost Book of Wisdom.

Vincent:
The Evolution of a Master
Who Dreamed on Paper
You can still picture van Gogh, bookish
and fastidious, pouring out his thousands
of letters and drawings, private diaries in
words and images, sent to his brother and
to a few trusted friends, providing him with
a stability that he evidently could find nowhere
else in life. The Protestant preacher's son,
he dutifully recorded his constant labors
with pen and paper.

Molly Ivins: A Tribute

She made us smile and laugh and
we will miss her. Here's a sample of
her writing:
"Now the whooper is a large
bird--runs up to five feet tall. The goose--
short. Now we have a state full of
hunters saying, "Hell, if this boy is
too dumb to tell a whooper from a
goose, maybe he shouldn't be
regulatin' public utilities." He was
forced to resign."

Click on Molly's picture to read the tribute to
her by her long-time friend and editor, Anthony Zurchur.
