The Attorney General's Religious Police Force

So it came out that the U.S. Attorney General and living old timey southern racist trope Jeff Sessions announced that the Department of Justice is forming a "religious police force." It's technical name is religious liberty task force and it's mission will be to do things like going after the Johnson Amendment. According to a Vox article, Sessions new religious police will keep secularists like the Southern Poverty Law Center in line and keep them from calling the evangelical Christian Family Research Council a hate group. On a historical note, evangelicals got into politics by setting up "segregation academies" in the wake of Brown v. Board of Ed but the IRS said they would have to give up their tax exempt status if they discriminated so they fought back. So racism is their core foundation, I can't imagine why the SPLC would consider CFRC a hate group with a history like that. Go figure. The history is there, check it out for yourself.

Since Sessions is a card carrying homophobe and the person heading up the task force defended supporters of a 2008 California ballot measure that banned same sex marriage. Real open minded people. So who do you think Sessions' new task force will target first? Another baker who doesn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding? How about a vendor that isn't too keen on a racially mixed marriage like a black man and a white woman because that doesn't mix with his religious beliefs? Or how about stuff like this...

They also don't want black people around either. 

Defend racism and intolerance. That's what Jesus was all about right? You know who else has a religious police? If you guessed ISIS or the Taliban the you'd be right.

Someone may say, "DJ B-Clear, how can you say that task force is like ISIS or the Taliban? Those groups kill people. This group is just protecting people's rights!" This group is not going to go after Neo Nazis for being anti-Semites, it will be just the opposite. Sessions, Trump, Fox News and the rest of the Republican Party have been for years selling the notion that only Christians are discriminated against. I am surprised that we have not run out of lumber with all the Republicans/Evangelicals nailing themselves to the cross as victims of whatever insult they perceive. We have not needed something like this in our country's history but now we need one.

The Religious Liberty Task Force probably won't gather people in the town square to be stoned to death, but they will stand for racism and intolerance. I like the separation of church and state. My hope is that this idea goes the way of the ridiculous national voter fraud commission.
