Just in case there is any doubt about Christian Fascism in America
These are the people who support Republicans.

The post above is based not on words or a manifesto...but on the mere sighting of Christians outside of a church standing near a statue of lady Liberty holding a cross. No one said anything fascist or even political. Just the mere sight of Christians is enough to incite primitive rage, fear, and bed wetting in liberals.
The following (with one exception are the pavlovian knee jerk reaction to Christians outside on a nice sunny day. enjoy.

Here is the low down on the fascist doings of evil Christians: they are buying...LAND! Only fascists do that!
3. Memphis here
It's even worse that that picture - cringe - . This church is buying up land all around it. There is a large mall that basically went out of business several years ago. This church bought the whole mall and they are now working to fill it.
This horrendous statue is like a wart on the face of Memphis. It's also in an area of town that I try to stay away from, lots of crime unfortunately.

Christians are a threat, but people who actually want to blow us up are not. Lets watch Denninmi squirm in madness upon the ground before Cuthulu, I mean people at a picnic...

5. I see Christian fundamentalist theo-fascism as one of the biggest threats to the US.
The irony of it, IMO, is that THEY are all worked up about Islam -- I've read many posts on various forums by these people all getting into a lather about the "threat" Islam is to America -- remember the fuss last summer over the proposed Islamic center a few blocks from Ground Zero in Manhattan? -- Yet, these people are EXACTLY the same as the Taliban in the way they want to control the population through fear, intimidation, and strict adherence to their own particular vision of society.
And, they are being carefully (and, unfortunately, skillfully) manipulated by corporate interests to subvert the values we've worked so hard to build during the last 100 years.

7. Take Away Their Tax Breaks
If there is true separation of church and state then we should not subsidize their existence.
A pizza is waiting for this one. He's not quivering in fear or frothing with hatred. At this time, he's the only one. Non-conformity is frowned upon at the island.

8. Good grief. Lets not over react. This IS in the Bible Belt.
This stuff happens all the time. Unimaginative art, and bad taste are nothing new.
Nothing presented yet has shown anything fascist.
Bad taste, yes. Fascist? NO. Threatening? No.
This is just a church doing what churches do. An outreach is doing something in public to spread the word. Silly events like this are normal, and are done all the time.
Its freedom. If a Muslim can hand out the Qumran to people at a state fair, then Christians can erect bad art on their own land.
So Relax, have a beer, and try not to be threatened by religious freedom.

"When Fascism come to America it will be wrapped in an American flag and carrying a cross"
Actually, when Fascism came to America it was sporting jug ears and reading a teleprompter.

That sounds more like Nancy Pelosi when she was trying to act all religious when she was trying to pass healthcare.
-
But having taxpayers fund "piss cross' is fine.

Wait, black people support republicans?

Countdown is begging for a pizza.

Oy.
1. It's "Qu'ran", not "Qumran". Qumran is the name of the community near the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. <trebek> We would also have accepted "Koran", "Alcoran", or "The Satanic Verses". </trebek>
2. Nobody noticed all the BLACK PEOPLE who were NOT being WHIPPED, LYNCHED, or FORCED TO PICK COTTON in that picture?
-
Wait, black people support republicans?
They might start, seeing as how Obama's white half is betraying them to teh gheys. Blacks are almost as anti gay as Christians are.
-
Wait, black people support republicans?
Yeah.
I noticed that in the photograph; the audience is black people.
Maybe that's something that subconsciously bothers the primitives, given their racism.

This horrendous statue is like a wart on the face of Memphis.
Well, Memphis is like an abcess on the lower left corner of Tennessee, so a wart would be an improvement. And if the statue were holding a muzzie Ku'mquat instead of the Ten Commandments, the DUmp would rejoice.
-
Of course they are showing their racism again. World Overcomers Outreach Ministries is a black ministry organization. Why do Dummies hate black people?
-
Didn't row over, so did any of them notice it was a black church?
Ya can't make this stuff up! Are they tryin' to lose a demonRat voting block, or what? I know a coupla 'brothers" that will be real interested in readin' this one!
The stooooopidity never ceases, does it?

17. So why is it ok to point out the crazies who are christians.
It became O.K. to point this out when they became fully engaged in destroying our country. Or maybe you think that is not an important enough reason to say anything.

20. Oh I think it is important enough, and I am all for it - and here is something to consider:
but if some other group were to want the same things, through different means, and they were muslim/jewish/etc, and someone brought it up - how would it be handled here??
One could never create an OP that said 'Just in case there is any doubt about Jewish Fascism in America' and link to some fundie/orthodox jews - it would be locked and called anti-Semitic.
There are fundie jews out there, fundie muslims - call them out and you are called a hater who wants to broad brush, etc.
Here is something to consider: The Koch Brothers. The are Jewish, not Christian.
"if you want to see David Koch, you first must talk to him. Not his assistant or his public-relations factotum, but him. No secretary manages his agenda or keeps his calendar. When I wanted to talk to financier Edmond Safra, I recall going through at least three levels of retainers, not counting an indirect approach through the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, before being allowed an audience. Penetrating Fortress Soros at the height of his bank-busting notoriety was akin to breaching the Alamo. But with Koch, one just calls his office. “This is David Koch,†a voice said later on my answering machine. “You called earlier to schedule an interview.â€

Bring up someone's religion, when they are anything but Christian, and you get called a hater, anti-whatever. Why is it that we only tolerate here on DU calling out some Christians based on their faith but when you do the same for other groups you are seen as biased?

18. Having been involved with an African American church for awhile
recently. CME of the south. I can attest that this is a vile ideology than can cut across demographics.
