Would you get a load of this? 

Phillips explains that he was formerly a member of the church, but he left because it’s "the first Church of Karl Marx," and "little more than the "religious" arm of socialism."

"The Methodist church is pro-illegal immigration," he continues. "They have been in the bag for socialist health care, going as far as sending out emails to their membership "debunking" the myths of Obamacare. Say, where are the liberal complaints on the separation of church and state?"

"In short, if you hate America, you have a great future in the Methodist church," he says.

I have heard a whole lot  of this kind of talk.  The climate in American politics has become so terribly poisoned.  This seems like a newly arisen McCarthyism.  This “hate America” BS shot toward anyone with a criticism of “sacred principles”. 

This guy is a Glenn Beck Jr.  He’s most likely a complete sham;  an actor,  who knows that such rhetoric will win him a hearing in today’s environment.  Since Obama won the election,  I’ve never heard it so bad.  Got to be a good dose of racism in that. 

Phillips has recently argued that it’s a "wise idea" to only let property owners vote.

(Actually,  that’s pretty close to a principle of “the founding fathers”);  but how many “tea party” people actually know that?  It was a way to ensure that the wealthy actually had the lion’s share of “the say”. 

“First Church of Karl Marx”.  What a bozo.
