According to Bishop EW Jackson, the Republican Party of Virginia’s nominee for Lt. Governor, he’s a Republican for NOW, but watch out! According to Jackson:
I’m ultimately not dedicated to a party, I’m dedicated to the truth. And as long as the Republican Party holds the principles of truth that I believe in, I will be a faithful, loyal Republican…I don’t want to ever leave the Republican Party, but I don’t want the Republican Party to leave me either. And if it leaves me, I’m going to leave it.
So, EW Jackson says he’ll stay a Republican as long as it holds the “principles of truth” that he believes in. Principles like the following, perhaps?
“Homosexuality is a horrible sin, it poisons culture, it destroys families, it destroys societies, their minds are perverted, they are frankly very sick people psychologically and mentally and emotionally”
“I am going to be at the Justice Dept. on Monday speaking at a press conference opposing the Hate Crimes Law as anti-Christian bigotry.”
“The President has proclaimed June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Pride Month. Well that just makes me feel ikky all over. Yuk!”
“Obama was apparently suppressing a report debunking the global warming hysteria. Transparency? Sure! Like an iron curtain.”
“We must drill for oil and natural gas now. Our very survival depends upon. We are a fossil fuel based economy and all the wishful thinking by environmental extremists will not change that for the foreseeable future. ”
“A different and harsher legal response may be appropriate for the medical professionals who knowingly perform horrendous procedures to bring about the death of children in the uterus. This monstrous activity has become socially acceptable in some circles, but it must be stopped. It is evil and we must help people see it for what it is, the taking of innocent human life.”
“It is time to bring an end to the hyphenated American. We have balkanized ourselves into islands of ethnocentrism: Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans.”
“The ‘homosexual religion’ is the most virulent anti-Christian bigotry & hatred I’ve ever seen.”
“What we’re facing right now is a situation where slowly but surely Sharia law is creeping and it’s crazy. And that’s where I think this president, given his druthers, would like to see us go.”
“This ‘Christian’ Pres. believes homosexuality is right and the Bible is wrong. He thinks he’s Pres. of Sodom & Gommorah! Or he’d like to be.”
“The homosexual movement is a cancer attacking vital organs of faith, family & military – repositories of traditional values.”
“Tony Perkins was disinvited as spkr at Andrews AFB because he opposed Obama promoting open homosexuality in the military. This the Gestapo?”
“Now I know there’s a lot of argument is [President Obama] a Muslim. I can tell you this, he certainly does have a lot of affection and favor for Islam. That seems to be his priority. I’ve heard him talk about Islam in ways I’ve never heard him talk about America. Well, Christianity, I don’t even think about that with him; I’m an adult, cmon, that’s a joke.”
“The idea that Barack Obama is a Christian is laughable.”
“The Ku Klux Klan did not do nearly as much to destroy black life as Planned Parenthood has done.”
“The Democrat Party and their black civil rights allies are partners in this genocide.”
“Liberalism and their ideas have done more to kill black folks who they claim so much to love than the Ku Klux Klan and lynchings and slavery and Jim Crow ever did, now that’s a fact.”
“The hate crimes bill, now think about that, that we would actually punish people for what they think.”
“I don’t think that the federal government has much of a role at all constitutionally, at all [in disaster relief]”
“Virginia is duty bound to DEFY NOT COMPLY with any federal encroachment on the rights and freedom of our people. Working families across the Commonwealth are disappointed that a Republican led General Assembly decided to COMPLY and NOT DEFY a law that will greatly hurt the economy and health care options affecting all Virginians.”
“We ought to fly every politician up to [the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve] and let them see what they think they’re preserving. It is a barren wasteland…I happen to believe that God put that coal there and put that oil there for a reason, and it’s idiotic not to go down there and get it.”
“How do you get the incongruity of conservative people voting for all these liberals? I mean, you’ve got, for example, the black community voting for Bobby Scott – Bobby Scott is opposing Congressman Randy Forbes’ effort to pass a resolution to reaffirm our motto, ‘In God we trust,’ and yet he’ll go to churches and campaign there and they’ll vote for him…that’s got to stop!”
“I am not a birther….[but Barack Obama] has an outsider attitude towards our country…that’s what the apologies are all about…he thinks that we’re answerable to the world…I have never heard him once mention the Founding Fathers…”
Bottom line: the fact that someone as extreme, nasty, bigoted, and frankly insane as EW Jackson is comfortable in the Republican Party is truly disturbing.
