The Murfreesboro Mosque has received recent media attention after fires were set on the property, damaging three vehicles, and their sign was defaced with the words ‘Not Welcome,’ in spay-paint. As the airing of the 700Club segment was prior to these actions, it’s difficult to ascertain whether they would have been committed without the fear-mongering and anti-Islamic propaganda provided by Pat Robertson and his staff.

This sort of incitement through disinformation and deliberate propaganda is inexcusable. This has the appearance of a deliberate attempt to cause civil unrest and promote hatred against a specific group of visible minorities within a community. Law enforcement is currently investigating these hate crimes that seemed designed to inspire terror in the victims. Pat Robertson has voiced his bigotry and biases in the past, but this latest act of conspiracy with other discriminatory groups, to spread a message of fear and intolerance that may have resulted in acts of terror, may just be criminal.

As much as it pains any person with a modicum of independent, critical thinking skills to acknowledge it; Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally was a masterful exercise in political organizing. He promised a recipe for fundamental change to this country and he delivered. He delivered it right on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and no one even noticed. He presented a clear strategy for the undermining of the Constitutional foundation of this country and all anyone saw was a religious service.

The United States logged a $26.2 billion trade deficit with China in June. Still refusing to let its currency rise in value against the dollar, China announced a trade surplus of $28.7 billion a month later. This widening of trade imbalances between nations is indeed alarming, and many in the United States believe we should lecture the Chinese about manipulating the international export market but not actually threaten sanctions, lest we start a trade war.

President Obama has been subjected to a religious test. Although not institutionalized as part of his formal admission to office, this test is equally offensive, and equally destructive to the country and the principles enshrined in its constitution.

Not only is this President being tested on his own religious beliefs, but apparently on the religious beliefs of anyone he ever knew, or came in contact with.

The President’s religious beliefs, according to Article 6, section 3, of the Constitution, should not be put to a test. The President’s religious beliefs, according to the First Amendment to the Constitution, should not affect the judicious execution of his duties on behalf of all American citizens. Where the First Amendment makes it very clear that government should stay out of religion, preceding that, as part of the original Constitution, Article 6 makes it very clear that religion should stay out of government.

In this case, the President can Protect the Constitution by allowing the Constitution to protect the Office of the President.

This article discusses how the current political games will only serve to further divide the citizens of this country and ramp up racial and ethnic tensions by providing bigots and xenophobes with a false sense of legitimacy. It describes a desperate ploy for political capital by a morally bankrupt group of politicians who lack even a most basic plan for leading this country into the future.

The observation that religiosity and sexual repression go ‘hand-in-hand’ is certainly not a ground-breaking discovery, any more than it would be considered a revelation that religious fundamentalists try to force the limitations of their repression on others. What’s disconcerting is that despite all the education available in ‘the information age,’ the religious community not only persists, but increases its efforts, to impose sanctions on others, based on their own perverted understanding of human sexuality.

The American Right Wing: Racism and Religion

2010-07-27T10:57:00.003-06:00

“When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” - Sinclair Lewis

There are struggles and challenges with race relations and understanding across just about every demographic of American society. Even at its best it is a learning process much like the inspirational story shared by Shirley Sherrod. With civil rights legislation only forty five years old, the entire current population of African American seniors over 65 years old have had the experience of being denied the legal right to vote in their own country. Race relations in America, among a society of equal citizens, is relatively new.

In this stage of relative infancy growing pains are to be expected. Trying to figure out how to implement and enforce equality has been a challenge that requires discussion and at times debate. Debate as cooperative fellow citizens is necessary, but there is a preponderance of malicious and racially controversial rhetoric emanating from a particular area within the body politic. The same population of political and social conservatives that espouse their Christianity, and wish to impose it on the rest of the nation, are the instigators of much of the current, racially divisive, rhetoric.

Tea Party Express rallies, that have been instrumental in campaigning for Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, Scott Brown, and several others, have featured at least as many signs demanding that America become a Christian Nation, as they have mocking the President based on his race and ethnicity. Aside from their vague platform of ‘smaller government’ and ‘lower taxes’ that lacks any proactive alternatives, the message of their signs and slogans present an overwhelming impression that the Tea Party attendees make a clear correlation of non-white = foreign = non-Christian = un-American.

This isn’t a misinterpretation based on observing a minority fringe at the otherwise multicultural and pluralistic events. These are identifiable truths, with well documented photo evidence, of a predominantly homogeneous group of individuals who claim to have unified values and beliefs. From these same events that featured Palin, Angle, Bachmann, et al, who claimed their guidance from God to make America a Christian nation, came invitations for Obama to return to Kenya, with placards showing the President as both a witchdoctor and a monkey.

Mark Williams, the purportedly dethroned leader of the Tea Party Express, who has stood shoulder to shoulder with almost every Tea Party candidate on the November ballot, including Palin and Angle, penned the disgustingly insensitive and racist sounding parody letter to Abraham Lincoln, written as if it had been authored by NAACP president Benjamin Jealous. Although it has been claimed that Mr. Williams was fired by some authority within the Tea Party hierarchy, which claims to have no such centralized hierarchical authority, his letter, and conflict with the NAACP, has sparked a firestorm of activity from the Conservative Religious Right claiming to be victimized by ‘reverse racism’ from the White House.

Much of these sentiments seem to originate with Glenn Beck who, when not insisting that America become a Christian Theocracy, has repeatedly accused President Obama of being a racist with a deep seated hatred for white people. This unscrupulous fear-mongering is as fallacious as Beck’s entire Christian Reconstructionist campaign, and has had an equally deleterious effect on our current national conversation and political climate.

Andrew Breitbart, the infamous Tea Party activist and propagandist who spearheads a large portion of the Internet component of the right-wing echo-chamber, was the architect behind the recent smear campaign of USDA official Shirley Sherrod. Fortunately, Mr. Breitbart was foolish enough to underestimate Mrs. Sherrod before attempting a character assassination based on trumped up charges of racism.

Although Mr. Breitbart has re-represented his motivations several times, ranging from an attack on Mrs. Sherrod and the supposedly racist Obama Administration, to an expose of NAACP racism, the fundamental truth remains the same; Mr. Breitbart attempted to use material that he knew to be an incomplete and misleading representation of the facts in order to support false claims of racism and inflame racial tensions and divisiveness.

In the same manner that Fox News blends overtly Christian dogma with revisionist American history and anti-Obama propaganda, Conservative politics have become synonymous with Christian Reconstructionism and deliberate racial divisiveness. O’Reilly, Hannity, and Beck present a consistent ideology and theology on these matters, relinquishing First Amendment rights to the supremacy of Christianity while defending their own race-baiting by playing victim to the very tactics they employ.

Thursday evening past, on Sean Hannity’s Fox cable show, in the aftermath of Mark Williams’ letter and Andrew Breitbart’s smear campaign, in a segment with Pat Caddell called ‘Media Fueled Racism(?)’, Anne Coulter stated that there is “no racism in America.” Believe it or not, whether it’s profound ignorance or deliberate denial, it runs that deep. The same woman that claimed that Jews needed to be ‘perfected’ by becoming Christians claims that there is no racism in America.

Their own bigotries seem to be completely invisible to them. Combined with the delusion that, as white people, they are subject to the oppressive bigotry and racism of non-white Americans, their psychosis would be laughable if it wasn’t so damaging. The ingredients and motivation for their revolution of Angry White Christians wanting to “take their country back” is, whether they realize it or not, a model of transparency.

The white, conservative, racially biased, religious right, has embraced a theology that unsurprisingly creates their God in their own image; a white skinned Jesus, wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross, and packing heat.

This version of Christianity is nothing more than part of the definition of exclusivity that bolsters the mindset of ‘Us versus Them’. It is a theology based more on identity than doctrine. It is an only slightly watered down version of white Christian nationalism, and a not so distant cousin to the White Citizens Council or the Ku Klux Klan. It’s the sentiments, the desires, and the anger, without all the messy honesty. It provides them with what they think is a cloak of credibility for their otherwise distasteful prejudices; sheltering them from political backlash as well as personal admission.

The same motivations that drive the religious right to impose their Christian dogma on every citizen of this country fuels the underlying racism they are struggling to deny. The only things deemed acceptable to them are those things that agree with them, and appear to be like them. It is an affective community of insecure individuals intent on creating a homogeneous society to provide their weakened self-esteem and faltering self-image with the comfort of conformity. If you want to be accepted or even tolerated by them, you must be just like them. You must look like them and believe like them. They are the schoolyard bullies of American politics. There is no room for difference or dissent in their America.

America’s Religious Right is a community that craves exclusivity. They insist on exclusivity from anyone that is not just like them. They claim the exclusive right to have guaranteed rights, and the exclusive right to decide who is worthy to have those rights. In order to achieve this, they claim Divine prescription for their manifest destiny and ordained authority over others, The Constitution be damned.

Their religion, other than part of the construct of their identity, is a medium for the expression of their hatreds and biases. This is not a Christianity of love and charity designed for personal enlightenment and growth. This is a dogmatic Christianity of White Nationalism to be imposed on others. Calling themselves ‘Real Americans’, to the exclusion of all the ‘Fake Americans’ that don’t look, act, and believe as they do, is the proof they offer of this point.

Perhaps some day Christian Conservative Nationalists will realize that their theology, as well as their social views, are based on the fear and ignorance. Perhaps one day they will realize that acceptance, tolerance, and enlightenment, are not synonymous with bias, exclusion and control. Perhaps, but until then, America will only be “One Nation Indivisible” if it manages to keep out from under them and their God.

T.E.A. Party Shows Its True 'Coloreds'

2010-07-16T17:07:00.003-06:00

The following letter was written by Mark Williams, conservative radio talk show host and leader of the Tea Party express. This letter is in response to Mr. Benjamin Jealous, President of the NAACP, who demanded that the Tea Party take a public stance against racist elements participating in their rallies.

Mr. Williams inflammatory and insensitive ‘mock’ letter is supposed to be a letter from Mr Jealous to President Abraham Lincoln. The letter speaks for itself, including innuendos of ‘colored’ people’s laziness and entitlement, and the mention of an ‘Uncle Tom’ related to Mr. Jealous.

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People and we demand that it stop!
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement’.
The tea party position to “end the bailouts” for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn’t that what we want all [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us[National Association for the Advancement of]Colored People! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of “reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.” What kind of world would we have is I ever to control and be responsible for my life own? As [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions and if you do not agree than there is not enough Colored in your People, as we labeled Ken Gladney [source]
The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.” Again, they directly target [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People. That means we [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! Totally racist! The tea party expects [National Association for the Advancement of] Colored People to be productive members of society, especially when our mission is to convince them that progress is impossible for them based on the color of their skin?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by someone else. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we say that belong.

Sincerely
Ben Jealous, Tom’s Nephew National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person

This is the Party of Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, and Sharron angle. This is the ‘movement’ embraced by the Republican Party that they herald as the voice of ‘real Americans.’ If this letter is an example of the America they envision, let them know that you’ve seen their true ‘coloreds’, and that real Americans will not tolerate their ignorance, hatred and bias.
