Dominionists

[fraserdw]

I thought Lizzie May was the Tin Foil Hat chick, you remember her, the representative of Tuvalu!

NO, thats not her.

That said, Ié read both the book, and the available reader reviews on both Amazon and Chapters and they are luke warm at best.

The things a publisher will do to sell books.

Sooo, feel free to consider this as more of the usual.

Yes, it is arch-conservative Ezra Levant, but he shows how Marci McDonald's book was based on factually incorrect, and even libelous information.

Obviously I have concerns about this movement. No, I don't care to elaborate. But respect its right to exist.

Finally my intent is too infrom, not offend.

You've gone past informing and logical debate and are just trolling here now, IMO.

This is one of those "what if" counterfactuals that serves as a proxy for people who have their panties in a knot over Christians.  "What if this really bad thing came to pass?  We must take stern measures now to prevent it from happening!"

Generally in risk assessment, there are two factors to consider: likelihood, and impact.

The likelihood of a dominionist takeover is a close approximation of nil.  I consider it a much less likely threat than that posed by progressives, how who have a track record of becoming successively more unhinged, intolerant, and tyrannical as the masses show less and less inclination to go along with the technocratic cause du jour.

I continue to maintain that if fascism (in the proper meaning of the word) ever does come to pass in the US or Canada, it will be at the hands of the Democratic or NDP parties, respectively.

The original poster only provided references to American political definitions. As a Canadian, I would gladly call myself a 'Dominionist'. North of the border I don't see why that term couldn't be readily accepted by all who are proud to be citizens of this fine Dominion!

South of the border, this is just a tempest in a teapot and will be forgotten in a month.

Many things are posted out of context, from ignorance of the subject matter or for sensationalistic value, where the OP is involved.

Whats going on is very simple, we have moved from having our soldiers tied to lamp poles in their blue hats to being one of the must have shock troops of our Allies, just like before the Trudeauites sold the nation to leftist welfare niks.  We are Professional and COnfident and our government is reaping some of the benefits of us winning back our reputation that had been so throughly soiled by Liberal mismanagement and UN "military" command.  Rant ends!  God bless the CADPAT where ever it boots tramp!

As a man who stood in the front rank on 5 mar 1995, I have little patience for liberals, but it was the conservatives who put those UN observers out in FRY and it was the liberals who put us in Kandahar.

Again... just to make things clear, I don't dislike liberals... I hate liberals.

As Glenn Reynolds points out, people feel free to take shots at Christians because they don't publicly behead people. (People tend to be rather quiet about another religion because the adherents of that religion can and do react violently to perceived slights and slurs, including staging riots, firebombing newspaper offices and putting out snuff videos of people they defined as enemies).

Not that I am for Christians taking up arms in that fashion, but behaving as punching bags hasn't made for "tolerence" or "accomodation" of Christians either. WRT politics, people of many faiths use their faiths to help define their positions on issues, which is a positive. If they want to force their faiths or beliefs on others, that is annoying; if they want to use State power to enforce their views on others that is flat out wrong, and to be resisted.
