    You do understand what the religious right tapped into in the South in 1964... it would later be known as the southern strategy.
    And without the religious right Ronald Reagan never would have been elected president. Because of the religious right this is where we get the political term [neocon] it simply means new conservative. Before Ronald Reagan, under Barry Goldwater, the Republicans took a vow to never Court any Special Interest groups, that only changed when Reagan ran for president.

    • @NOYOUSHUTUP3.14
      @NOYOUSHUTUP3.14 3 роки тому +4

      Goldwater also believed it wasn't the government's right to invade the wombs and the bedrooms of its citizenry, speaking on gays in the military he said it doesn't matter as long as you can shoot straight , the NeoConservatives said this was proof he wasn't a true conservative. Imagine calling the father of the conservative movement not a true conservative! But in his thinking conservative meant fiscally and government wise, he sought to shrink the Federal government in size and scope, the so-called Religious Right turned that on its head and made it about morality and all the other things went out the window. Funny how when Paul Ryan was the face of the GOP he fought tooth and nail for fiscal conservation in opposition to the Obama administration, however when he left after Trump got elected Mitch Mcconnell who banged the gong for Ryan immediately backed Trump and said that fiscal responsibility was never a tenet of the conservative movement and let Trump go against free market with his tariffs and spend willy-nilly and grow the deficit. Obviously racism was a factor but as it became obvious that Trump would be a one termer Mcconnell put the clamps on spending in obvious opposition to the Dems. The hypocrisy and stupidity is staggering.

      I think it's a form of idolatry that they let happen to them. I think the only way for them to see this is if they are convicted in their consciences. However I doubt that at least as a group they can make some connections regarding this or to care about them. Connections such as Trump's immigration policy and the deliberate traumatization of children and families at the border. Or Trump's deregulation of many environmental policies and greater danger to Americans' health. Or Trump's rhetoric as well as the influence of people like Rush Limbaugh and hate or hate crimes or actions like the attempted coup on 1/6. I think this is a spiritual condition. Maybe like the man who's dying of thirst but he doesn't know that water comes from a spigot in the kitchen sink. Btw, even though I am a progressive politically, all politicians or humans can fall to the same kind of thing and we have to be careful. And no matter who's in office, we have to watch what they're doing and be involved.

      "In 1962, the hostess of the Phoenix franchise of Romper Room linked her own name with that of the ongoing controversies over abortion. Sherri Chessen, known to television viewers as "Miss Sherri," sought hospital approval for abortion on the ground that she had been taking thalidomide and believed her child would be born deformed. Chessen made a public announcement about the dangers of thalidomide, and the hospital refused to allow an abortion, apparently because of her announcement and its own fear of publicity. Chessen traveled to Sweden for the abortion. Upon completion, it was confirmed that the fetus had no legs and only one arm. The incident became a made-for-TV movie in 1992, A Private Matter, with Sissy Spacek as Chessen."

    • @Narrow-Pather
      @Narrow-Pather 4 роки тому +1

      Satan knows scripture and quoted it to Jesus Christ. The religious right may be religious but they lack the fruits of a follower of Jesus Christ. The Pharisees were religious and Jesus Christ told them that they were the children of the Devil:
      John 8:40-44 King James Version "But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
      The spirit of the Pharisees still exists, and it's still hypocritical in nature:
      Luke 12:1-3 (KJV) "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops."
      1 John 2:18-19 (KJV)"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."
      If people would read the Bible for themselves they'd understand that we are the "church" and are told in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
      Because many don't read the Word for themselves, they are easily lied to, manipulated, deceived and lack the discernment to see through the devil and his minions whose only desire is to steal, kill, and destroy our joy, peace, lives, and souls. 🕊

      The Truth is that the "churches" in the USA are the most segregated institutions in the USA. It was the "church" elders, twisted doctrines, and educational institutions that provided the masses justifications for ethnic divisions based on White supremacy. Facts that are easily researchable and validated.

    Totally aside from race issues, there's still a lot of people whos "good preachers" tell them that America should follow the dictates of God, in effect have the Church be a kind of fourth branch of government. The logical conclusion to this is to have the USA (or at least the Bible Belt) become the Christian version of Iran. That country does have semi-competitive elections, but the religious clerics have to approve the candidates that run. Most Evangelicals don't think in these terms because they tend to be trapped by tradition and convention, but that is the logical conclusion of their positions nevertheless.

    Only thing I will point out is the documentary seemed spot on for the most part save the very last scene. Surprisingly Evangelicals at least when polled have more sympathy for immigrants then your average Republican voter, it's just a case that issue is secondary to years of being beat over the head how Liberals want to change everything for the worse and we need conservative judges(and buy into the idea that God for some reason was pro gun and wants less taxes and regulations). In general the anti immigrant/wall faction generally are somewhat religious but not as dedicated as your hard core evangelical, poorer and less educated.
    I think this is a problem when you try group a bunch of people into one category when 4 or 5 categories would make more sense. On the flip side the anti immigration side probably don't put as much stock into abortion as your hard core evangelical

    Nine out of 10 (86 percent) want more border security. Six in 10 (61 percent) support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. More than two-thirds (68 percent) favor both. And they want Congress to take action soon.

    America is a unique nation as One Nation Under God... because everyone, no matter a person's race, is created individually and equally, with God-given rights, that no tyrannical government can legitimately take away. Liberty can exist with virtuous people who endeavor to love their neighbors as themselves and who understand they are accountable to God in the final account. No matter how wonderful atheistic socialism or communism sounds, a people who fall for that ideology are doomed to repeat the history of lost liberty.

      And then there's reality.

      "One Nation Under "god"? Perhaps people should have asked, and should now consider which "god" they were talking about.
      An independent study of the history of the USA and its "founding fathers" would inform the masses that it's not the Creator, Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that they were speaking of.
      But, people don't want the truth. Lies serve their illusion of pride and comfort enabling them to maintain their delusions about who those they choose to herald as idols truly are; and the true purpose of their invasion of the North American Continent.
      Not to mention the deliberately deceptive double-speak of and in the Constitution. 💯

Who would there have been to rake us over the coals if we had voted for that bastion of morality and family values? Not voting for a pastor, I looked at both candidates and decided on the one at least most likely to make all Americans more prosperous and able to take care of themselves and their families. And he proved he was the right choice in that regard.
    Elections are a matter of setting precedence, and as far as I have been concerned since the 90's, the fact that Bill Clinton was elected not once but twice, means that the precedence was set that character no longer matters in political leaders.
