Kamala's hate America focus

Kamala's New Campaign 'Faith' Director Blasts America As 'Cult, Bloodthirsty, Imperial Beast' 



In the slimmest of chance that you needed a reminder that the Harris-Waltz ticket is the most radical presidential ticket in American history, you've come to the right article. 

Harris recently hired a campaign director who has viciously attacked White Christians and claimed that America is an imperial "cult" and a "bloodthirsty beast." Did I mention that the new hire is not only Kamala's campaign "faith" director but that she's also a Presbyterian minister? Yeah.

So-called "Progressive" Rev. Jennifer Butler argues that "White supremacists" have "hijacked" the Christian faith — a "quality" that seems to fit perfectly with the Harris-Walz ad nauseam attack on White (and Black) conservatives. As a result, Butler's job will be to court people of faith — ahem — to the Harris-Walz ticket. Oh, and Butler runs a program that seeks to "root out" alleged "White nationalism" from the Christian faith.

Here's Butler in 2020 from her book, "Who Stole My Bible?"

Today we face fundamental threats to democracy. The wealthy are overwhelmingly White and those who are systemically economically disadvantaged are people of color.

The many-headed beasts reveal the corruption of the imperial system around us. The imperial cult of the United States of America, whose stock market booms while unemployment skyrockets, had numbed many of us to our own reality. 

Not to nitpick, but let's go with Butler's supposition that the wealthy are overwhelmingly White, and the economically disadvantaged are overwhelmingly people of color, for a minute. Why is the premise mutually inclusive with "White supremacy"? It's not, of course — and there are certainly more than enough examples to the contrary.


As to the hyperbolic "many-headed beast" nonsense, perhaps Reverend Butler could have given us a few specifics. And maybe she could have included a direct correlation between a booming equity market and unemployment. Oh, wait— she couldn't have.

Butler was far from finished spewing her "Christian" venom.

[T]hese catastrophes are an apocalypse... a revelation ... of the greedy, bloodthirsy, imperial beast beneath the fine linens. 

I think the Rev missed her calling as an author of cheap, melodramatic fiction.

Christians need to "'come out of the closet," she continued, and "witness to the word of justice in the face of a brutal empire asserting its control. They are to resist the temptation to go with the temptation to go with the flow of the imperial… military status quo."

And, of course:

Individualism is triumph over care for neighbors and freedom over equality as communities of color are hardest hit.

Blah, blah, blah.

And then, a direct attack on White Christians.

A large percentage of White Christians is marching to the drumbeat of White nationalism. Given all this, nothing could be more important than reclaiming this radical book called the Bible and acting to make its vision for radical justice, equality and liberation a reality.

Yeah, I beg to differ, rev. One thing more important is the growing number of Hamas-loving, Israel-hating radicals in this country. Another thing more important is showing us where in the Bible your vile bitterness is justified. 


Claiming White Christians have "weaponized" their religious freedom, Butler wrote: "Rather than using religious freedom as a shield, Christians are using it as a sword." 

Again, how so? How does the behavior of White Christians compare to that of radical leftist pro-Hamas, and anti-Israel mobs (some of whom attack Jews in the street and on college campuses)? Or, Black Lives Matter rioters in the aftermath of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis? AdvertisementBy Mike Miller | 9:46 AM on September 04, 2024 


How does the Bible put it, Reverend Butler?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

That would be the King James Version, 7:5, rev. (I assume it's not one of your favorite Bible quotes.)
