Theocrat(s) of the Week

The stacks of information about those worthy of consideration for Theocrat of the Week -- can get very high. But this week Our Distinguished Panel of Judges did not get far down the pile when they recognized the winners and stopped the competition.

Our winners this week plan to reenact the the actions of theocratic martyr Paul Hill next month in Milwaukee. On July 29, 1994 Paul Hill, who sought to set a good example for Christian theocratic revolutionaries, assasinated abortion provider Dr. John Britton and James Barrett one of his escorts, and seriously wounding another, June Barrett, outside an abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida.

George L. Wilson of Children Need Heroes and Drew Heiss of Street Preach are planning to honor Paul Hill in a series of events called "Paul Hill Days" in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 26th - 29th -- "to honor him as God's man and our hero."

Why Milwaukee? Why not? There are people here who recognize Paul Hill as a hero, and we would love to welcome others from around the country who share our belief. Hopefully, in the future, others will host events in their cities.
Planned events include:
Activities at our two remaining killing centers
Literature distribution
Ministry at the Federal Courthouse
Reenactment of 7-29-1994
Paul Hill March
Ministry at other public forums

It should be noted that George L. Wilson, the proprietor of Children Needs Heroes, recognizes two other heroes he believes America's children should learn about: Shelly Shannon, who was convicted of the attempted assasination of Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas, among other serious crimes, including a series of arsons; and of course, James Kopp, who was convicted in the sniper assasination of Dr. Barnett Slepian in Amherst, New York. Kopp is also the chief suspect in several other shootings.

All three are recognized as Heroes of the Faith by the Army of God, members of which are likely to be on hand for the festivities.

Events like this (none / 0)

are intended to remind abortion prodiders that there is a violent underground. But they should also remind the rest of society that there is an armed wing of theocratic activism, to which most turn a blind eye.

Well, this will be a blow (none / 0)

to Flip Benham's hopes of publicizing his assault on Birmingham only a week before.

It will be our privilege to bring the Gospel of Christ to the gates of hell in Birmingham, Alabama, this summer once again. There are two remaining abortion mills in Birmingham, and the saints in this city have asked us to help push what is left of the abortion industry into a deep grave.

It will be hard for him to compete with the reenactment of a double shotgun murder.

Hey Fred,

There are so many of these people I think you are going to have to do a Theocrat of the Day. :)

: lol (none / 0)

Yeah, I think you are right, Jerry. But alas, I fear it could make Our Distinguished Panel of Judges too delerious to contend with so much theocratic magnificense every day. But I am sure they will nevertheless take it under advisement.
The Theocrat du Jour has a certain ring to it:-)

Paul Hill Days ??? God help us. (none / 0)

I honestly don't think Jesus would celebrate Paul Hill Days. I can hear him saying to you now--"Woe to you the pharisees. I do not know you ; you are an abomination. You are satan in sheep's clothing."

Meanwhile (none / 0)

I posted about this last night (naming you as the source, Rev. Donald Spitz, one of the sponsors of "Paul Hill Days" and the webmaster for the Army of God domestic terrorist group, wrote me to say that people like me are the cause of kids getting AIDS and ordered me to accept Jesus into my heart. That kind of attention makes me want a bath and a bodyguard.

political issue (none / 0)

I think it is more of a political issue because those politicians who publicly espouse certain religious values are often caught up themselves in some unsavory indictment that they heretofore championed as a religious value, i.e. politicians who are against gay issues as related to religion and then are busted for gay activities themselves, politicians who talk so feverishly about family values as related to religion and then are caught in and adulterous relationship. There are a lot of politicians who are hypocrites and they only talk about religion as a means of vote getting and public approval. I think that America has become much more religiously diverse, especially with a large increase in our Muslim population, and it seems also that we have had a large increase in atheism, so I think that the religious right has actually lost its' grip; especially when you look at the years of Ronald Reagan, who proclaimed that America was a "Christian nation." ------------------------- testking 642-832 | testking 642-436 | testking 640-822 | testking 70-667 | testking 646-364

: 100% agree (none / 0)

You've just highlighted the main reasons why I hate >most< politicians with a passion.
The amount of hypocrisy in the atmosphere today is unbelievable.
For once i would just like an individual who is tolerant and open minded. However that's wishful thinking.

Actually, the Dharma circle is a centurys old blueprint, showing the cross-sectional configuration of the CERN supercolider. Go ahead look it up! And, the world instantly got sucked into a black hole on Sept 11, 2008 (a day after they started CERN up). So we are all essentially living dimensionally in a blackhole now. In case you are wondering WTF is going on.
