Extremist Christians alive and well in Iowa

Chuck Grassley is a five-term U.S. senator and "Iowa's senior Republican official."

Mr. Grassley has been conducting an inquiry, through the Senate Finance Committe, into the financial dealings of six "big" Christian right TV evangelists, including Kenneth Copeland of the Dallas area. You may have read all the howling coming from these fat cats as they fly their personal jets around the world bringing people to Jesus and collecting gobs of money.

You must also realize these creeps all run "religious" organizations so they don't have to pay taxes.

Grassley realized something was amiss. How could anyone miss that? These guys live in multi-million dollar mansions, have fleets of cars, fly, as we've said, in the own corporate (non-profit, naturally) jets, wear pinky diamonds bigger than the Louvre - all the while claiming to do the work of God.

None of them want Grassley snooping around in their affairs. In fact, Mr. Copeland of Dallas/Ft. Worth fame, refused to open his books and said that only God can see his financial records for they belong to God!

Not only so, but two leading lights of the extremist Christian Right -- Paul Weyrich and Ken Blackwell -- have, along with others of the same ilk, "charged Grassley with violating the First Amendment's religious freedom guarantee."


Fascinating, isn't it? These idiots want to take over our government and make the U.S. of A. a Christian nation and institute God's laws (as they define them) and then complain about a proper investigation into the crooked dealings of these television evangelists!

Well, Grassley got his comeuppance - in spades.

"Evangelicals and their allies, dominating last weekend's Iowa Republican state convention, dumped their critic, Sen. Chuck Grassley, from the state's delegation to the national convention in St. Paul, Minnesota."

I guess it's payback time for Jesus!
