This militant, right-wing NeoChristian group calls itself "Weed and Feed" - as if their primary mission is to find people in the community whom they consider to be "weeds".

And the topic of this meeting - they are arguing over who gets control over a new government facility.

Gary Griffith should find himself quite among friends, there... although Jesus might not.

I have several reasons for presuming that the Weed and Feed group is as I described it.

First and Foremost - the name. The tone of this is similar to that put out by most other NeoChristian groups which seek to promote their values, while attacking others for theirs.

Second, they hold their meetings at a local church. Granted the CoC leadership are some SERIOUSLY good people - but I've personally had some serious problems with some of their congregants.

Finally, there's the fact that they have chosen to endorse Gary Griffith. In my community, dual yard-signs have been appearing everywhere. One is a vote-Griffith sign, the other is a white cross that says "He is Risen".

Griffith is very active in trying to appeal to the religious groups in Dallas. I believe that, to do that, one would have to promote some very awful things - NeoChristian values.

So - we have a candidate who wishes to appeal to southern religious zealots, meeting at a church, discussing how to divvy up state property.

At any other point in history I'd just say "No Biggee" - but over the last decade the NeoChristian Insurgency has done some terrible things to this country.

I'm glad that this group helped get Pegasus going. It reminds me of a story an old Jewish lady told me when I was a wee one, going to synogogue.

She thought the Nazis were NICE guys. They were always so handsome, and clean-cut. If a woman had too many bags, a soldier would gladly help her carry them to wherever she was going.

If you invited one to a party, he would show up sharply dressed, tell very entertaining and socially appropriate stories, and leave without getting embarassingly drunk.

They were great guys - except for this one little-bitty, teeny-tiny quirk.

That's what we have today in the US with the NeoChristian Insurgents.

So, when I hear that the NeoChristians have helped someone somewhere, I temper that with what I know they have done elsewhere... and I don't invite them to any parties.

Can opened...

NeoChristian - literally, "New Christian".

It's a kind of Xianity that, for starters, does not believe in the separation of church and state.

They include Christian Coalition, Moral Majority, KKK and many other national relgious/political organizations.

More insidiously, they are a grass-roots movement - like the Taliban in Afghanistan. They infest our churches and preach hatred - especially towards Muslims, but to Mexicans and Jews and other "wooly-headed mud people" as well.

They refer to their grass-roots supporters as "the base". Coincidentally, the phrase "al Quaeda" translates directly into English as "the base".

Al Quaeda and the NeoChristian base are similar in a variety of other ways - but mostly they are both just faith-based grass-movement attempts by militant religious zealots to seize control of various governments - through violence if necessary.

So, when I hear that a grass-roots group is meeting with a politician at a church to discuss divvying up state property - I tend to presume they are NeoChristians - doing nasty things.

I didn't used to be like that - but then I watched televangelist Rev. Bush's career take off like a rocket and learned better.

The short answer to "is the US DoJ a NeoChristian organization" - the answer is definitively, "yes".

All of the US Attorneys who went against (or simply did not strongly support) the insurgency have been fired - and replaced by folks loyal to the insurgency.

Fortunately, some of their crimes in committing that act have been uncovered and could end up emasculating the movement.

Regarding your specific organization - I don't know for certain that they are a militant, Christian extremist group.

They have ALL of the earmarks of one - but may very well be just as benign as you think.

But after the last decade or so, I've become bigoted against religious zealots. So when I see them getting active in the community, or see some politician coddling up to them - I tend to go sour on the politician, the group, and the members of the group and the church.

Whenever I think I'm being too harsh on the poor little zombies, I just remember a picture of an Iraqi child with his head blown off - and I remember why I don't like NeoChristians.
