There is an anti-democratic cancer in Arizona
Ever heard of the “Council for National Policy”--a “Christian” policy group that has been spreading Christian nationalism across the nation—for years— from right here out in little old Arizona?
Me, either. You will now.
You may recognize the founder of the Council for National Policy, Tim LaHaye, the dead-as-a-door-nail evangelical hater and hack who peddled the dreadful “Left Behind” fantasy series that asked believers to get on board the rapture train before the End Times ruptures Creation. Get your ticket punched by Jesus before it’s too late and you’re vaporized by a merciful, loving God. Yeehaw, Lordy.
You may recognize at least two prominent names seen at the Council for National Policy Hallelujah hoedowns:
Vice President Mike Pence.
Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
But here’s the kicker—my fellow Arizonans and why Dark Money is the Devil’s Workshop:
Because the "Council for National Policy" cabal lives in the dark money shadows right here in God’s sunny sandbox, Arizona, and its prominent Arizonans include:
Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk. He owns a Spanish-style mansion near Phoenix, and made millions saving American Trump-heads from pagans like you. And ladies, your sole divine purpose is to procreate so ovulate, lay down and spread wide. More than 750,000 sheep swallow his right-wing wrath-sotted Godcast a day.
Sniff the sewage here: Turning Point USA
Kirk’s Chief Operating Officer, Tyler Bowyer, a Mesa Trumphead.
Indicted Fake elector, and personal friend of Jesus, from Queen creek, Arizona State Sen. Jake Hoffman.
Far-right “Patriot Party” founder Daniel McCarthy, who also happens to be the CEO of the anti-abortion-and-anti-LGBTQ-and-anti-secular-America law firm with the bullshit name "Alliance Defending Freedom" that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Let me repeat that. The law firm that overturned Roe v. Wade is an Arizona firm. Take a wild guess where it is headquartered: Scottsdale. Here are links to the stunning successes of the "Alliance Defending Freedom":

GOP Officials Are Outsourcing Their Lawsuits to a Far-Right Christian Group
Arizona's astonishing ties to this understandably secretive far-right crazy Christian policy group that’s trying to redeem, reclaim and revive America is reported here in detail in this "Arizona Mirror" blockbuster:

This investigative blockbuster is why a free press matters.
This is the story of how organized religion "organized" and infected our state's blithering backwoods GOP and why the inquisitions, pogroms and the patriarchal persecution of women, drag queens, trans kids, libraries and LGBTQ citizens--all based on superstitious bullshit--inevitably followed.
Unlike the Godly and pious St. Donaldo de Maralago, I am not a religious man, and these are only my humble Hell-bound heathen views, but I’m guessing the Palestinian Jew who was martyred two-thousand years ago for being a dissident Rabbi, would puke from his cross on these privileged, white, cruel, scripture profaning, Biblical illiterates who only seek to cause suffering rather than reducing it, because in their tiny hearts what they truly hunger for is the manna of earthly power over the marginalized and the majority of you Godless Americans.
You couldn’t possibly be a Christian and disagree with them could you?
Will the America that crucified Hillary for calling these anti-democratic Constitutional heretics "Deplorables" dare to speak up?
Will those you who profess to be Christian pastors take to your pulpits to take on these profane peddlers of bullshit who distort your Nazarene's message of unconditional love?

Next up: A refresher course on ALEC and its connection to right-wing legislators in every state. It’s at the state level that these issues will live or die. The Republicans and the religious right know these are easier pickin’s than attempting nationwide or Congressional action.
David: It drives me crazy that these organizations working to take away our freedom use names like Alliance Defending Freedom, Moms for Liberty, etc. Thanks for calling them out both by names of leaders and by their association with Arizona. And, of course, Steve Bannon, the convicted felon who may really go to prison bought a home in the Tucson area. Maybe it's for his post prison rehab.
