Moon over Bush's Miami
 
During the 1970s, the Rev. Moon's Unification Church was widely accused
of deceptively recruiting and "brainwashing" idealistic converts on
street corners and college campuses across the nation.

In 1982, Moon made headlines around the world when he presided over a
mass marriage ceremony involving 2,075 couples in New York's Madison
Square Garden.

Late that decade, Moon spent a year in federal prison after being
convicted of income tax evasion.

Moonies knee-deep in faith-based funding

Pushing celibacy, marriage counseling under Bush plan

Don Lattin, Chronicle Religion Writer

President Bush has some new troops in his crusade to promote "healthy
marriage" and teen celibacy with federal funds -- followers of the
Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the controversial Korean evangelist and
self-proclaimed new world messiah.

At least four longtime operatives of Moon's Unification Church are on
the federal payroll or getting government grants in the
administration's Healthy Marriage Initiative and other "faith-based"
programs.

Two of those Moon associates were in Oakland last week leading dozens
of local pastors and social workers enrolled in a "Certified Marriage
Education Training Seminar" at the Holiday Inn next to the Coliseum.

__________________________________________________ ______________

Moon is a Korean billionaire and convicted felon who
served 13 months in federal prison for income tax evasion and
conspiracy in the mid-1980s.

Moon owns the Washington Times newspaper, Insight magazine, and The
University of Bridgeport (CT).

His empire was part of a 1977-78 congressional investigation which
looked at Korean CIA activities in the United States.

Moon’s stated ambitions include the establishment of a one-world
government run as an automatic theocracy by Moon and his leaders.

Moon has repeatedly said that America (and democracy) is Satanic.

His vision of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth includes the absorption
of all the world religions into Unificationism as well as the
abolishment of all languages except Korean.

Members do a ritual pledge service every Sunday morning, bowing before
an altar with Moons picture on it and promising to fight for the
Fatherland (Korea).



Moon and Bush...what a combo.

--
We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
