re: #72 Charles

Yes, Gary North is one of those freaks. And note that this isn’t really a “fringe” group - they have significant political influence.

Gary North, for those of you unfamiliar with the name, is the son-in-law (and spiritual heir) to R. J. Rushdoony, the chief architect of modern Dominionism/Christian Reconstructionism. Oh, and they are (in the case of Rushdoony - was - he died in 2001) hardcore Holocaust deniers and white supremacist racists.

A couple quotes:

“The background of Negro culture is African and magic, and the purposes of magic are control and power… Voodoo or magic was the religion and life of American Negroes. Voodoo songs underlie jazz, and old voodoo, with its power goal, has been merely replaced with revolutionary voodoo [‘civil rights’], a modernized power drive.” - The Institutes of Biblical Law, p. 61

The Bible, Rushdoony wrote, “recognizes that some people are by nature slaves.” In fact, American slavery was “generally benevolent” despite misguided attempts to make whites feel guilty about it.

Keep in mind, these are the people that guys like Bryan Fischer, James Dobson, and Tony Perkins modeled their ministries after.
