    Hypocritical Reichpublitards. There’s a shock…. NOT.

    In addition to the group’s purpose to take back the government for the Biblegod, they apparently also act as an accountability group for its members. They tried to get these guys to break off their adulterous relationships but their interventions didn’t do much good. I wonder if the Senators/Reps used these relationships to exert control over their own lives as a way to strike independence from their Christian brethern, as a way to not be under their influence or control. I got the sense from Sanford’s ramblings that the relationship felt liberating. Maybe that was liberation from the C-Street folks moreso than his family.

    Have to say I’m feeling a bit vindicated, at least this is hitting the mainstream media. Of course most good christians once you put god into something side with it even when they don’t realize it’s not quite the “same’ god….

    Is this for real?
    It gives all red flags about a big hoax.

    • Offred says:

      It does sound like a “Hoax” but if you have time look into it, this has been growing since Reagan possibly before.

  8. Sleestak says:

    I love transparency in Government.

  9. @olaf … it is definitely real and not a hoax.

    Getting more publicity now because of Ensign/Sanford connections and Jeff Sharlet’s 2008 book “The Family” about the organization.

    Christians sneaking around behind the scene…dirty money…sex scandals…insane theology,,,,shady pastor.
    Just shocking…isn’t it?

    CULT

  12. Custador says:

    Louis Theroux spent some time with The Family in his “Wierd Weekends” series in Dallas. They seemed pretty harmless in that!

  13. Mark D says:
