Apparently since Ultra MAGA ended up being a flop, other than for the conservative Tshirt companies, they are going with "Christian Taliban" now.

What would Kinzinger know about Christianity.  I just love how the party of unity and love and acceptance keeps dividing us.

Really need context for her remarks.  There are people I worry about, but they probably aren't on Kinsinger's radar.

And the solution is less government.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

If done correctly, a Christian Taliban shirt could be a hoot!

What would the mission of the "Christian Taliban" be?

Hey, I'll admit to being a member of the Christian Taliban if the Democrats will give ME as much in the way of military munitions as their leader Joe Biden gave the Moslem Taliban in Afghanistan!
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

To frighten Democrats, and get them to vote. And to make Democrats look slightly less insane by comparison.

I don't see many roving bands if Christians acting like the Taliban, but I sure do see roving bands a Woke Taliban, and a while bunch of big companies and media outlets supporting them too.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

This link is at the bottom.  It may be what this guy is responding to.


Rep. Adam Kinzinger says Rep. Lauren Boebert’s view of religion and the state is no different than the Taliban

Boebert says she is ‘tired’ of separation between church and state: ‘The church is supposed to direct the government’
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3540071-boebert-says-she-is-tired-of-separation-between-church-and-state-the-church-is-supposed-to-direct-the-government/

Quote
In a Sunday speech at the Cornerstone Christian Center in Basalt, Colo., ahead of her primary election on Tuesday, Boebert argued that “the government is not supposed to direct the church,” saying that dividing religion from the system of government was not what the Founding Fathers intended.
-----------------
“The reason we had so many overreaching regulations is because the church complied,” she said. “The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. That is not how our Founding Fathers intended it.”

I doubt I would state things that way, but she may have said a lot more and the article only gives the two quotes.

So does this mean we're going to start seeing free flying lessons off roof tops soon?

I doubt it, but maybe that would make the media respect Christians more.   =)

Kinzinger is a "know nothing RINO" who voted with "putrid Pelosi" to pass this most recent gun bill.  :facepalm:  [barf]

From one of the replies:  "immanentize the eschaton"    =)

Anyway, isn't harvesting babies a Planned Parenthood thing?     Well, baby parts at least ...
