Tom’s Big Picture

I dismissed this as possibly an overreaching conspiracy theory when I first heard it, but Daniel Sheehy has put together a good piece at VDARE discussing the facts behind a possible North American Union supported by Bush, Rice, Guitterez and other globalist members of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Interestingly, both Rick Warren and Richard Land are members of the CFR, which explicitly supports the political extinction of the United States.  We know about Warren, but Land is lesser known, and works for some sort of lobbying bureaucracy funded with Southern Baptist tithe money called the Ethics and Religous Liberties Commission.  Land has explicitly endorsed a guest worker program as an imperative for Christians, playing religion for politics.

So if you’re a Southern Baptist, how do you feel about your tithe money and offerings being used to lobby in support of Ted Kennedy’s immigration bill?  From now on, I’ll be earmarking all of my offerings for specific purposes, not simply into the general pot for abuse by these liberal bureaucrats.

The Left, of course, is ecstatic over his betrayal:

Kudos to Dick Land. First he teams up with Kennedy, the “liberal” National Council of Churches, and the same-sex endorsing Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism. Now, just a few weeks later Land is getting his picture taken with Ted Kennedy AGAIN!

Merely a decade or two ago, Roger Moran and other Southern Baptist fundamentalists were giving moderate ethics and religious liberty leaders hell for participating in coalitions with groups such as Americans United and People for the American Way. Let’s not forget that these same leaders regularly were involved in coalitions with VERY conservative organizations as well.

Heck, just a few months ago 2nd Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention, Wiley Drake, was moaning and groaning because Rick Warren invited Barack Obama to speak at his AIDS Conference. I believe good ole Wiley dubbed Obama, “THE ENEMY.”

I’m curious - are the Roger Morans of the Southern Baptist Convention slightly bothered that Richard Land is regularly partnering with that Massachusetts liberal Ted Kennedy?

This Southern Baptist is very bothered by it.
