Quote:Victoria Jackson used to be a featured player on Saturday Night Live, now she’s actively involved in tea party politics. Bill O’Reilly asked her about her political transformation in an interview that bizarrely ended up being mostly about how much she hates communism. She talked about being on SNL during the Reagan years, and somehow went from that to declaring that communists come for the Christians first. Jackson told O’Reilly she wasn’t political when she worked on SNL, but her Christian faith got some mean comments “’cause they kind of hated God.” She said she was educated by a conservative group a few years ago about how “socialist” Hillary Clinton was being challenged by “communist” Barack Obama in the presidential election. She said the communists would never take over the U.S. by force thanks to the Second Amendment, but they’re already corrupting the country through a “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll morality.” When O’Reilly asked her about her conservative turn not helping her career, Jackson said, “No one’s gonna have a career when we’re all communists.” She called tea partiers the “greatest people I’ve ever met,” and expressed some concern about what’s going to happen to her soon. “I’m gonna die soon, because the first thing they do is they kill the Christians or persecute them or jail them.” http://www.mediaite.com/tv/victoria-jackson-goes-off-the-rails-on-oreilly-first-thing-communists-do-is-they-kill-the-christians/
Quote:“I believe in freedom of religions except for religions that kill other the other religions.” Actress, comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member, Victoria Jackson, explains why she does not think the 5-7 million Muslims residing in America should be able to live here or practice religion within the country. “Tell them to go back to the Middle East,” Jackson proclaimed. “All of them?” Alan asked. “Yeah,” she replied. http://radio.foxnews.com/2014/01/23/audio-former-snl-cast-member-victoria-jackson-on-muslims-in-the-united-states/
Quote:Raptor, 7/7/2013: "They're @ war with us, and are spiking the ball , whether we admit it or not. (Nickerson: "The folks who built that center are not a war with us you moron") Yeah, they are. And while they likely didn't clap their hands with joy and toss candy into the air for the happy children on 9/11, they'll gladly take the opportunity to put a trophy mosque @ the site of the biggest Islamic victory vs the West since the fall of Constantinople. Make no mistake. Islam seeks to bring the entire world under its dominion and bind us all. Some are going about it in a violent, more direct method, while others are content to take things a bit slower. The end result, however, is the same. http://beta.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=55910

Quote: AuRaptor is willing to "guarantee" the levels of knowledge of people he's never met. Interesting. This is kind of like when he kept claiming to be a "libertarian," but wouldn't take KPO's challenge to see if he knew anything about his alleged beliefs.

Quote:The main idea of the Higher Life movement is that the Christian should move on from his initial conversion experience to also experience a second work of God in his life. This work of God is called “entire sanctification,” “the second blessing,” “the second touch,” “being filled with the Holy Spirit,” and various other terms. Higher Life teachers promoted the idea that Christians who had received this blessing from God could live a more holy, that is less sinful or even a sinless, life. The so-called Keswick approach seeks to provide a mediating and biblically balanced solution to the problem of subnormal Christian experience. The “official” teaching has been that every believer in this life is left with the natural proclivity to sin and will do so without the countervailing influence of the Holy Spirit.

Quote:Fall 2008: “I think Obama is a communist,” Jackson tells O’Reilly. “And my husband said, ‘Don’t use that word. Say radical or Marxist.’ But, you know, Karl Marx wrote the book, so I don’t see why people are afraid to use the word Communist. Because I’ve done a lot of research. And I’ve read the book 1984 by George Orwell, twice. And I was walking through the airport and every magazine had Obama’s picture on it. Every one. And I turned on the TV and every channel had him on it. It’s like Castro in Cuba or the guy in China or Saddam Hussein. There are pictures everywhere!” After the 2008 election when Obama won: “I can’t stop crying. America died” and “Thanks a lot Christians for not showing up. You disgust me.” March 1, 2010: Jackson introduces a song she wrote, “There’s a Communist Living in the White House.” Sample lyrics: “Why aren’t people shocked or something? Why aren’t people up in arms? Does anyone read history or see red flags or hear alarms? The streets are filled with deaf and dumb as I squeak like a mouse, ‘There’s a Communist living in the White House!’” March 11, 2011: “A government spying on its citizens is a good thing, if it’s for national security. If the spying is to silence the opposition, it is communism." March 22, 2011: When Glee characters Blaine (Darren Criss) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) kiss for the first time, Jackson is not happy at all. In a blog post, she calls it “sickening.” She then appears on Showbiz Tonight, where she says that being called “homophobic” is “a cute little buzzword of the liberal agenda.” December 2011: Jackson says that the U.S. is being overtaken by radical Muslims determined to bring the nation under sharia law. She also claims to have participated in a high-level security meeting in our nation’s capital. "I just went to a briefing in Washington, D.C., across the street from the Capitol, at the Longworth building at 8:30 a.m. two days ago and it changed my life. For six hours, I saw pictures and names and dates and facts and Islamic law books and Qurans, Surahs for six hours and they proved to me ... that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our highest positions in government and this is serious.” http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/11/07/the-road-to-victoria-jackson-s-election-meltdown-on-twitter.html
Quote:Victoria Jackson Considering Run For Local Office Should I run for “Alderman” in my town? I wanna make a difference. I want to help educate my fellow Americans on Common Core, Agenda 21, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the urgency of getting involved in the political process, putting integrity back into office and halting the encroaching communism. I just hate the campaigning part…the begging for money, the signs, the hand-shaking, etc. Got any thoughts? http://wonkette.com/539224/victoria-jackson-considering-run-for-local-office-wonkette-offers-campaign-help#mwdtGs0u64ArzhIq.99

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:Originally posted by SHINYGOODGUY: There once was a time when Christians, in their belief system prior to Bush 2, would use the power of prayer to affect change. Somehow, in their Christian wisdom, it seems that God has changed his mind and wants his flock to push forward and claim "his" rightful place in the throne of THIS world. Clearly, and it is stated so in the Good Book, God was talking about the Kingdom of Heaven, a spiritual plane unknown to man as he exists in THIS world. The secular throne is far beneath that of the spiritual one, according to scripture. The Tea Party people are co-mingling their political beliefs with those in the bible to their benefit and inheritance. They too will be judged in the final analysis, according to scripture. Who knows, they may bring about the very Anti-Christ that their beliefs warn about. Ironic, isn't it! SGG

Quote:THOMPSON STATION, Tenn. (AP) — Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Victoria Jackson has filed to run as an independent candidate for a seat on a county commission outside Nashville, Tenn. Jackson, who calls herself a tea party conservative, moved to Thompson Station in Williamson County last year. She told The Tennessean ( http://tnne.ws/1n8zPjr) she filed as an independent because she's "very disappointed with the Republican Party." As long as Jackson meets the candidate qualifying requirements by the Feb. 20 deadline, her name will appear on the election ballot Aug. 7. She would run against the Republican nominee, who will be chosen May 6. The newspaper reports Jackson has made appearances at multiple political events in Middle Tennessee since making her home there. http://tv.yahoo.com/news/victoria-jackson-files-county-seat-tenn-144745287.html
