Religious right’s Worldview Weekend rally coming to Rochester

brannonhowseThe Tea Party and religious right movements will collide — or coalesce — when the Worldview Weekend rally comes to Rochester April 9. Worldview Weekend founder Brannon Howse (pictured) will present his brand of evangelical Christianity, sprinkled with conspiracy theories about liberals and President Obama.

Worldview Weekend has close ties to the Minnesota Family Council, which often encourages its members to attend and contributes to the Worldview Weekend website. Likewise, the event’s presenters are closely affiliated with some Republican legislators: David Wheaton, a Christian radio host and Worldview Weekend presenter, for example, has hosted Reps. Michele Bachmann and Erik Paulsen.

Howse offers potential Worldview Weekend attendees a sampling of his preaching. In one video clip, he shares his thoughts about “why Obama is destroying our economy.” Howse believes that “homosexual” economists are behind a philosophy aimed at throwing the nation into economic chaos.

“I predict the Obama Administration will not only give illegal aliens high paying jobs through this federal infrastructure program, but also citizenship. With citizenship comes the right to vote and thereby securing election after election for the Cultural Marxists… The more I read, hear, and research, the more I am willing to believe this financial crisis, that was birthed in the Clinton Administration, was possibly orchestrated in order to destroy the middle class and implement radical, extreme socialism… The goals of Cultural Marxism are primarily the destruction of Christianity and the creation of chaos. The ultimate goal is to move from Cultural Marxism to traditional Marxism and that is what is happening to America today.”

True to Tea Party independence, Howse said last September, “I was one of the first conservative talk show hosts to refer to George W. Bush as a socialist and a globalist. Both parties are destroying our country.”

Workshops scheduled for the Rochester conference include “How This Happened to America, Where We Are Going and The Biblical Response”; “The Radicals and Their Worldviews Ruling America From the Grave and How Every Teen and Adult Must Respond To Be Protected”; and “What The Bible Has to Say About The Coming One-World Religion, One-World Economy and Global Governance.”

Materials will be distributed that purport “The War on Christianity through Radical Environmentalism, Population Control, Global Governance, and Socialism: Americans are watching the destruction of free-market capitalism under our most socialistic, left-wing administration ever.”

And attendees will be introduced to Howse’s radio program with topics that often invoke Hitler and Obama including this one from last year:

“House and Senate Pass Service Bill Very Similar to Hitler’s Youth?” Is this the private, well-funded, civilian military Obama promised during the campaign? Brannon Howse reveals the largely unknown story of how the Obama’s are taking national their radical, socialist, and anti-Christian worldview training that was birthed through their organization “Public Allies”. The training will include “social justice” training which is code word for Communism, socialism and Marxism.

This is Minnesota. We do not want these wing nuts in our state.

We should pass a law against this type of convention right now.

I might ask where you are living or if your head might be rectally inverted?

When does america require you to be strip searched to fly? Wire taps. terror to terrorize. police state tactics.

did you like police actions at the conservative convention last year? get used to it, it will not change.

and speaking of change, how’s that working out for you?

support and defend the constitution, it is the law of our nation and is almost completely submerged behind national security.

brown shirt wearing idiot…

oh yeah, before you mention it, my name: I don’t like most people. tough stuff, pal.

I wonder if the christ cult followers have ever compared their beleifs to there actions.

It seems to me if your actions dont square with your beleifs you should change something.

Does there beleif system say they should not care about “social justice” being a former member of the christ cult I can say that it does.

Wacko’s like this are what drove me out of the christ cult.

How can an all knowing being need so much money and only care about the welfare of the Wealthy?

I went to a rally this weekend. Absolutely wingnut crazy. It’s interesting. If you listen to the individual points that he makes, he is leveling the same charges against liberals that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion leveled at Jews. Seriously. It’s the only thing that accounts for his strange fear of the Federal Reserve–he actually used the word “bankster” last night. Liberals and Christians who want to safeguard the reputation of their religion need to attend these events and protest. This is unacceptable.


Really?

Ignorance must be bliss.
Characterizing the recognition of the fact that there is a liberal, leftist bent, and anti-Christian agenda being played out in our nation’s capitol as “wingnut crazy” is ignorant.

If you don’t believe that we are moving to a more communist and government controlled country, just look around. Forget the Christian fundamentalist views and look at the powers that Congress & our “president” have taken away from the states and the people.

While I respect everyone’s right not to believe as I do, restricting my right to follow my faith to be only behind closed doors, violates the very basic premises of our Constitution.

Enjoy your ignorance while it lasts. I only hope we all wake up before we’re calling each other comrade & remembering when we had freedom.

These people are a case study in delusional paranoia.

I think that most people just can’t see whats in front of them because they’re lazy and spoiled! Our president has been paid to for to the agenda of (socialism, marxism,and so on).The money comes from MUSLIM leaders in other countries. They’ve paid for his education and promoted his election. It doesn’t suprise me a bit, we’re talking about people who pay any amount of money to see athletes run up and down a patch of grass, These people have been pumped full of their own wants than the concerns for liberty and justice. We all want justice when someone takes our private wallets or identity but we can’t recongnize a criminal that puts on a suit and a tie and takes our freedoms. This administration isn’t concerned that our jobs are gone they just keep spending. Oh, and whats so educated about spending money when we’re out of money? Try this and see where you end up! Do you know where your money is going after the goverment gets their hands on it? Try other contries,oh and its being used to create new jogs over seas, thanks so much to Hilary,Obama, and all the other so called educated people. The questions not, why would you spend money to hear a possble truth or lie about the goverment, its a better question to ask your self where is my money going when the leaders of this nation get their hands on it and why is our money creating new jobs for others outside the U.S.? What about us? I choose not to be a puppet, I look at all directions and test them to be true and then make up my mind!Hears for all the stupid people who think giving their money to the lord and paying their tithes and offerings are a waste, you pay your taxes out of fear of going to jail but you can’t obey the lord and keep yourselves from going to hell. You’d rather only obey the law that has a sudden impact than obey something that you think won’t occur for a long time! Some people think tha t having a degree from a long-standing school, but I feel for them, it is in these instutions where most of the socialist are erasing our truths of the founding fathers and teaching crazy classes like a professor having sex with her dogs and how to have sex with children. This is a waste!I don’t hear any protest from all you educated christ cult haters. So I must presume that either you’re ignorant or you’re apart of the wast. Jesus spoke out about the pharasees and tried to show the people their blindness but they would not listen. So he left them in their sins and kept sharing the gospel. If you think that your opinion and your critics will put a dent in our minds your crazy. Maybe you should look at how satin is using you.
