Maddow: So, biblical capitalism, this idea of the man-to-man financial method, which is one of the more awkward terms of a summer full of awkward terms.  That -- it's not just part of the way that they exert power.  That is part of their theology, that's part of the way they understand how they are, their version of Christianity at least.

Sharlet: Absolutely yes.  It's a theological position.

And when they call themselves a Christian mafia and talk about sort of avoiding institutionalization, talk about avoiding, you know, the books and records and all of that kind of stuff -- all of this stuff allows them to avoid accountability.  What they see it as is avoiding the building up of an edifice.

There is a level in which they're almost antichurch.  They don't like an organized church because it's too democratic. They like this sort of behind-the-scenes elite approach.

"Our position hasn't changed," said Whitfield, who was a deputy secretary of labor in the Reagan administration. "It won't change. I am fundamentally, philosophically opposed to doing what the Obama administration wants to do [to FedEx], and so is our organization."

Scandals trigger spotlight on house
Largent talks about a townhouse and its code of silence for residents.

HIGHLITE!
Largent was chairman of the breakfast the year Yasser Arafat was invited. He also took a trip to Cuba sponsored by the group, which was unsuccessful in its attempt to meet with Fidel Castro.

William Ayers pales in comparison to Arafat. These neo-con "Christians" have been palin' around with the king of all terrorism.

You have got to wonder why the World bureau correspondant did not further that line of questioning. Instead choosing to skip over to Fidel.

The second point is the remaining question of a tax exempt foundation that covers the ownership of the C street house. Not only living off the public dole through a shill and a tax loophole but referring to themselves as a foundation, no doubt a 5013c or "church" to take a deduction and have no out of pocket rent.

"It is merely an attempt to try to give guys who are in Congress a chance to have a respite, have a place where they can go and kind of let their hair down and not have to worry that everything they say and do would ever be repeated and get in the press.''

PLEASE DEFINE "LET YOUR HAIR DOWN." The devil knows what this means with normal people but not with evangelic fanatics. Please define, Tulsa World. And Tulsa World, why the denial about this being secret?..."guys can come and share their deepest needs and wants and desires." Surely nothing perverse. Perhaps to hide how old boy congressmen take advantage of the tax code through Christian shill organizations? How to adhere to 9 of the 10 commandments? "Deepest needs" would be what Tulsa World? They are not talking about personal poverty or medical needs. Sexual needs?

"So it is kind of a broader landscape than just talking about Christian or religious type of activity,'' Largent said.
Amen to that, but Tulsa World should have started the article there and expanded the subject. This is just a way to bury the real story of weirdos in government decision making power.

No mention of Pickering http://www.pensitoreview.com/2009/07/17/sex-on-c-street-pickering-slept-with-mistress-in-house/ which makes the World story without credibility.


They (hypocrites/gop) say it is only a sin if: 1. You do it or 2. if Democrats do it. It is not a bad thing if they do it, and it isn't worth resigning over when they get caught.
Religion is used to control the ignorant. Those in the know use it for their own leverage.

Kansas Electeds Tied to Conservative Cult
http://www.everydaycitizen.com/2009/07/kansas_electeds_tied_to_conser.html

If you haven't heard about "C-Street" yet.. or "The Family," or "The Fellowship" then let me tell you its a little wacky and I have a feeling its only going to get wackier.

Sometimes its tough being an elected official. You have to get really good health care, have a staff of people bring you stuff, and most people tell you you're great a lot. But a very conservative group of Senators and Congressmen were having a rough time, so they all moved into a quaint little house on C Street.

Nothing says GOP like a good old fashioned . . . frat house? College was the time when you could screw around with lots of women, forget to do your homework, and randomly stand up in class and ponder whether your teachers mom would have had an abortion?

But that's exactly what happened. Senator John Ensign of Nevada was screwin' around with the ladies. The Fellowship of C-Street Electeds came together to pray about what they should do. Evidently, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) gave Ensign a pelvic exam ... and the flood doors opened.

I think its high time, Sen. Brownback and Rep. Tiahrt tell us the truth about what they knew. Were they involved in the cover-up? Were they at the prayer group? Did they council Ensign?

Since this building is registered as a non-profit church with 501c3 status, has the IRS confirmed that there has been no political activity in the "church?

According to the Wiki article

"The movement in the U.S. is incorporated in the United States as a tax-free 501(c)(3) organization operating under the name The Fellowship Foundation. While they conduct no fundraising operations, they reported revenues of more than $12 million in 2003 from donations. Their primary activity is to develop small support groups for members of Congress. Prayer groups have met in the Pentagon and at the Department of Defense."
Has there been an investigation into its tax status? Do these elected officials live tax free in this building? Who is donating to this "Church?" Lobbyists, CEO's of major corporations, or institutions in which these elected officials are making laws about or sending earmarks to?
Why has there been no mention of an investigation into this?

Ensign isn't the first.  Other things have happened in the conservative cult.  Apparently there was some kind of exorcism.  It's unclear if this was to a moderate elected official who tried to vote with the democrats, its unclear.  But I hear that Kansas Rep. Jerry Moran won't even walk down C Street for that very reason.  Bless his heart.

Tiahrt and Brownback must answer questions about their involvement in this cult? Do they believe in the radical agenda of this "church?" Do they believe in exorcism? Were they involved in the exorcism? Is this their first exorcism?

Tonight on Rachel Maddow, author Jeff Sharlet (who literally wrote the book on The Family) talked about a link between Kansas Senator Sam Brownback now seeking the Governor's seat despite his 51% approval rating in Kansas, and Rep. Todd Tiahrt who is being groomed to be a new Super Decean at the C-Street Fellowship as well as the new Kansas Senator. (Video Above)

From Jeff's book -- this is what he was referencing:

The day I worked at C Street I ran into Doug Coe, who was tutoring Todd Tiahrt, a Republican congressman from Kansas. A friendly, plainspoken man with a bright, lazy smile, Coe has worked for the Family since 1959, soon after he graduated from college, and has led it since 1969.
Tiahrt was a short shot glass of a man, two parts flawless hair and one part teeth. He wanted to know the best way "for the Christian to win the race with the Muslim." The Muslim, he said, has too many babies, while Americans kill too many of theirs.

Doug agreed this could be a problem. But he was more concerned that the focus on labels like "Christian" might get in the way of the congressman's prayers. Religion distracts people from Jesus, Doug said, and allows them to isolate Christ's will from their work in the world.

"People separate it out," he warned Tiahrt. "'Oh, okay, I got religion, that's private.' As if Jesus doesn't know anything about building highways, or Social Security. We gotta take Jesus out of the religious wrapping."

"All right, how do we do that?" Tiahrt asked.

"A covenant," Doug answered. The congressman half-smiled, as if caught between confessing his ignorance and pretending he knew what Doug was talking about. "Like the Mafia," Doug clarified. "Look at the strength of their bonds." He made a fist and held it before Tiahrt's face. Tiahrt nodded, squinting. "See, for them it's honor," Doug said. "For us, it's Jesus."

Coe listed other men who had changed the world through the strength of the covenants they had forged with their "brothers": "Look at Hitler," he said. "Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Bin Laden." The Family, of course, possessed a weapon those leaders lacked: the "total Jesus" of a brotherhood in Christ.

"That's what you get with a covenant," said Coe. "Jesus plus nothing."

With Frat Brothers like this... who needs voters? Thus I call you to action! There must be an investigation to uncover what was going on, if there were behind the scenes deals made for donors to the church, if political favors were exchanged by funneling money, were donations given to elected officials to fund political activity. Help demand an investigation by the IRS and by Congress!
