The Big Lie GOP Combatants Tell About Democrats And How to Respond June 25, 2005 By Katherine Yurica Most folks don’t know that the Bible tells Democrats exactly what to do when they have been slandered. The reason Republican Combatants have to lie about Democrats is this: if they told the truth—everyone, including all true Christians would either leave the militant Republican Party and join the Democrats (or other parties), or would actively seek to change the Republican Party back to the party of Abraham Lincoln.     9:54:50 AM    comment []

Voters' Receipt Program--How American Citizens Can Foil Attempts to Rig Voting Machines! It's here now--and It will Defeat Voting Fraud! If you're tired of the depressing thought that Republican Party Operatives will steal all future elections, think again! If the GOP-controlled-Congress along with their state and county officials, continue to refuse to vote for or purchase voting machines that issue a receipt, as is likely, we can still stop election fraud for the 2006 and 2008 elections. We can stop it dead in its tracks by a simple method that will only cost one or two pennies per voter! The Yurica Report has designed a method of preventing criminal fraud in elections in America. But if the method fails to prevent criminal manipulation of the votes, it will provide concrete evidence of the existence of fraud that will force law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute and cause courts to invalidate fraudulent results. If we want freedom--if we want to insure that liberty will prevail for our children and grandchildren--sign up now and distribute this beautifully simple system to every member of both houses of congress and to every organization, church and group who love America! Skip the introduction--just show me how!   9:50:41 AM    comment []

The Truth About Charles Colson and "Deep Throat" Fruits of the Spirit or Backslidden Degeneracy? Did Chuck Colson really have a "Born Again" experience in which his whole nature was changed from a Machiavellian "Hatchet Man" to a man of God? That's the question this article and the entire series of articles on Colson raises. If Colson, who is being judged here by his own words and testimony, truly had an encounter with God between 1974 and 1976, as he claims, then has he become a hypocrite? Or is he presently in a backslidden condition? Again judge him by his own words. The relevancy of Chuck Colson's conversion experience could not be stronger because millions of born again Christians are following leaders, like Colson, who may not be living as Christians. What spirit is the church listening to: the loving voice of Jesus or the spirit of anti-Christ in the form of false prophets? That is the salient question of the hour! http://www.yuricareport.com/Impeachment/ColsonOnDeepThroat.html   10:48:16 AM    comment []

Social Security Solution: Make the Old Work Until Death By JOHN TIERNEY I realize I'm being impolitic. Americans now feel entitled to spend nearly a third of their adult lives in retirement. The problem isn't that Americans have gotten intrinsically lazier. They're just responding to a wonderfully intentioned system that in practice promotes greed and sloth.   [Yurica Report Editor's Note: John Tierney's article brings moral accusations for the first time against America's elderly. His "solution" to Social Security is to make the elderly work for however long it takes to reduce the taxes on younger workers. He speaks of the elderly--not as lazy--but implies they are motivated by greed and the desire for the good life. Tierney asserts his religious beliefs: that Social Security as a system promotes "greed and sloth." We do not agree. We strongly oppose his moral blindness. We believe that a form of social security was created in the Bible by legal statute in Deuternonmy 26:12-13; and in Deut. 24:19-22; and was approved by Jesus in Matthew 25:31-45. Mr. Tierney and those who support his views are diametrically opposed to the laws of God in the Bible and place themselves in an anti-Christian moral position.]     2:11:48 AM    comment []

A Compendium of all the articles written on or as a result of The 2005 New York City CUNY/Open Center Conference on the Religious Right Agenda     [Yurica Report Editor's Note: Reader Beware: At least one article may be offensive to ordinary rational people. It contains questionable allegations and is not supported by documentation. However, if taken with a grain of salt--and a comparison pill with the essays on Dominionism available at the Yurica Report, the reader may escape without developing symptoms of nervousness, repulsion, and nausea. We recommend if these symptons appear or persist that you call your physician at once.

Certainty vs. Humility about God The Tao that can be named is not true Tao May 30, 2005 By David Stevens Seeley There is a crucial issue facing the human race that is not being sufficiently discussed—between (A) those who believe they have certain knowledge of the nature of God and His Will, and (B) those who believe that it is best for people to have a degree of humility about their religious beliefs—to accept the fact that, however much beliefs may command our faith and loyalty, there is no way to be “certain” of their “truth,” and that it is therefore unwise and perhaps even blasphemous to disrespect or be alienated from those with different faiths.   7:44:23 AM    comment []

Stanley Kurtz Attacks Yurica’s, “The Despoiling of America” A Response By Katherine Yurica May 23, 2005 Stanley Kurtz did his best. In an article titled, “Dominionist Domination,” published May 2, 2005 by National Review Online, he tried to attack and crumble the reasoning in my essay, “The Despoiling of America.” He didn’t have much to work with, so as a last resort he made up things. He invented an essay that does not exist and said, “See! Look at what she wrote!” Then he gave a list of the imaginary faults in his newly rewritten essay and attributed them to me!   A Short Review of Katherine Yurica's Rebuttal of Stanley Kurtz' Attack By Lee Laurais These days, when I hear someone describe him or herself as a Christian, I'm apt to duck behind the piano as I expect that I'm in the presence of a war-mongering, gay-bashing, profiteering, violence-prone, right wing yahoo who couldn't care less about the poor, the outcast and the marginalized and who would happily trade his or her birthright of freedom and decency for the mess of pottage that our decadent, irresponsible, national leadership has gotten us into.   7:42:54 AM    comment []

The Despoiling of America How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State by Katherine Yurica   Most Americans have been aware that religious right Republicans have become extremely active politically in the last twenty years. But because we're Americans and we're mostly tolerant of other people's religious beliefs, their rise to power hasn't really troubled us. We should be troubled. There is now overwhelming evidence that conservative Christians set out to overthrow the government of the United States, dispense with our democracy, and institute in its place, a government ruled by Old Testament laws--including an expanded litany of death penalties. This article is not a conspiracy theory. It contains the legal elements required for the prosecution of any criminal or civil conspiracy in our nation. The proof is in this article.

Conquering by Stealth and Deception How the Dominionists Are Succeeding in Their Quest for National Control and World Power By Katherine Yurica Americans and the main-stream media have been very slow in catching on to the fact that we are in a war—a war that is cultural, religious and political--a war that uses stealth and deception and the rules of engagement written by the enemies to representative democracy. Unless Americans wake up--we could lose that war.     1:41:01 PM    comment []

Infiltrating the U.S. Military Gen. Boykin’s “Kingdom Warriors” On the Road to Abu Ghraib and Beyond By Katherine Yurica   First the hard right dominionists took over the Southern Baptist Convention with its 16 million members and a fortune in corporate businesses. Then they took over the Republican Party. Now there is evidence dominionists are trying to take over the U. S. military. The article examines several new questions: Is there a direct connection between the Southern Baptist Convention and Pentecostal churches like John Ashcroft's Assemblies of God to General Boykin, Stephen Cambone and Donald Rumsfeld? Is it true that U.S. taxpayers are paying the seminary bills to educate chaplains who are planning to supplant the U.S. government? Was a chaplain sent to Abu Ghraib to torture prisoners on Rumsfeld's orders? Do not miss this solid article. An Update on the mysterious Lt. Col. Steven L.
