Dominionism derives from a small fringe sect called Christian Reconstructionism, founded by a Calvinist theologian named R. J. Rushdoony in the 1960s.


Christian Reconstructionism openly advocates replacing American law with the strictures of the Old Testament, replete with the death penalty for homosexuality, abortion, and even apostasy.



Rushdoony was a totalitarian, he was a prolific and influential one—he elaborated his theories in a number of books, including the massive, three-volume Institutes of Biblical Law


His ideas, along with those of his followers, have had an incalculable impact on the milieu that spawned both Bachmann and Perry.


Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry aren't just devout—both have deep ties to Dominionism, which says Christians should rule the world.

Now we have the most theocratic Republican field in American history, and suddenly, the concept of Dominionism is reaching mainstream audiences.


Writing about Bachmann in The New Yorker, Ryan Lizza spent several paragraphs explaining how the premise fit into the Minnesota congresswoman’s intellectual and theological development.


A recent Texas Observer cover story on Rick Perry examined his relationship with the New Apostolic Reformation, a Dominionist variant of Pentecostalism that coalesced about a decade ago.


“What makes the New Apostolic Reformation movement so potent is its growing fascination with infiltrating politics and government,” wrote Forrest Wilder. Its members “believe Christians—certain Christians—are destined to not just take ‘dominion’ over government, but stealthily climb to the commanding heights of what they term the ‘Seven Mountains’ of society, including the media and the arts and entertainment world.”

Rushdoony pioneered the Christian homeschooling movement, as well as the revisionist history, ubiquitous on the religious right, that paints the U.S. as a Christian nation founded on biblical principles.


He consistently defended Southern slavery and contrasted it with socialism: “The law here is humane and also unsentimental,” he wrote. “It recognizes that some people are by nature slaves and will always be so ... Socialism, on the contrary, tries to give the slave all the advantages of his security together with the benefits of freedom, and in the process, destroys both the free and the enslaved.”


Rushdoony’s most influential idea was the concept of Dominionism, which spread far beyond the Christian Reconstructionist fringe.


For believers in Dominionism, rule by non-Christians is a sort of sacrilege—which explains, in part, the theological fury that has accompanied the election of our last two Democratic presidents.


“Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ—to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness,” wrote George Grant, the former executive director of Coral Ridge Ministries, which has since changed its name to Truth in Action Ministries. “But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice ... It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time ... World conquest.”

Bachmann is close to Truth in Action Ministries; last year, she appeared in one of its documentaries, Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger.


In it, she espoused the idea, common in Reconstructionist circles, that the government has no right to collect taxes in excess of 10 percent, the amount that believers are called to tithe to the church.


On her state-senate-campaign website, she recommended a book co-authored by Grant titled Call of Duty: The Sterling Nobility of Robert E. Lee, which depicted the civil war as a battle between the devout Christian South and the Godless North, and lauded slavery as a benevolent institution.


“The unity and companionship that existed between the races in the South prior to the war was the fruit of a common faith,” the book said.

Members of the New Apostolic Reformation see Perry as their vehicle to claim the “mountain” of government.


Some have told Perry that Texas is a “prophet state,” destined, with his leadership, to bring America back to God.


The movement was deeply involved in The Response, the massive prayer rally that Perry hosted in Houston.


“Eight members of The Response ‘leadership team’ are affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation movement,” wrote Wilder.


“The long list of The Response’s official endorses—posted on the event’s website—reads like a Who’s Who of the apostolic-prophetic crowd, including movement founder C. Peter Wagner.”

We have not seen this sort of thing at the highest levels of the Republican Party before.



Those who wrote about the Christian fundamentalist influence on the Bush administration were alarmed that one of his advisers, Marvin Olasky, was associated with Christian Reconstructionism.


It seemed unthinkable, at the time, that an American president was taking advice from even a single person whose ideas were so inimical to democracy.


Few imagined that someone who actually championed such ideas would have a shot at the White House.


If Bush eroded the separation of church and state, the GOP is now poised to nominate someone who will mount an all-out assault on it.

Was that you I heard in the background, Failias?


It could have been a baby crying, or the idiotic impotent inanities of feces-fixated Failias the thread derailer.
 
This is downright disgusting, but yet again is example of the progressive liberal Marxist thought process. A 46 year old man lies for over a week about being hacked, then admits to sending not only his crotch shot and his bare chested photo to females 20+ years younger to him, but he even sends a picture of his erected penis to who knows how many females. Today comes word that not only did Weiner lie and send this disgusting photos of himself to random online female, but he also engaged in Twitter direct messaging with at least one under aged high school girl. The police questioned the 17-year-old high school female who had direct online communications with Anthony Weiner. Yet in the demented left wing mind, Anthony Weiner did nothing wrong. Old bag Barbara Walters called his hardon picture “flattering,” the scum in his district that were polled are generally in favor of letting him stay in Congress, and according to left wing biased The Daily Beast, Anthony Weiner is some how comparable to Martin Luther King!

The man I am describing is Martin Luther King, and before you head-butt your screen—or report me to your local blogger/commissar—think for a moment. If you are breathlessly following every revelation of Weiner’s stupidity, or angrily denouncing his conduct and pronouncing him unfit to hold office, you might to want ask yourself where this country would be if the FBI, which tape-recorded King’s extramarital adventures, had released the tapes to the public. You might want to reflect on where this country would be had the technology of exposure, and the culture of personal destruction, existed when we needed credible, if flawed, leaders to make this country a juster and more humane place to live.

Yet again proof that liberalism is a mental disorder. Where are the race hustlers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton yelling RACIST at a pitiful comparassion like this?

Extremist dominionists do exist, as theocrats who hope to transform our democracy into something that looks like ancient Israel, complete with stoning as punishment. ​



Pat Robertson, a Christian minister, ran for president in 1988.Robertson was, actually, a dominionist. “There will never be world peace until God’s house and God’s people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world,” he wrote.


It’s true that in a general election, white evangelicals overwhelmingly vote Republican.


Christian conservatives thrive in a mindset of persecution.


The more their opponents paint them as freaky and dangerous, the more they see themselves as political activists on behalf of God.

Lying propaganda is very old and very un-American. Do you feel more threatened by fundamentalist Christians than fundamentalist Islamists?

I don't feel "threatened" by either.

Are any fundamentalist Islamists running for president?

If you don't feel threatened, then why are you posting lying hateful propaganda? There is no such thing as Christian Sharia. That is something in your own mind. Every post you made doesn't mention anything about Sharia Law. That makes you a liar.
 
The years 1982-1986 marked the period Pat Robertson and radio and televangelists urgently broadcast appeals that rallied their followers to accept a new political religion that would turn millions of Christians into an army of political operatives.


It was the period when the church raised itself from sleep and once again eyed power.



At the time, most Americans were completely unaware of the agenda being preached on a daily basis across the breadth and width of America.


Although it was called “Christianity” it can barely be recognized as Christian.
