This time, Albin Sadar’s toonified target is James Talarico, where Albin catches him in his Sunday Best.
Our own Albin Sadar has been at it again. This week’s offering was first published on American Thinker, and is reprinted with permission.
As you probably heard, James is hand-picked to run as a Democrat in the buckle of the Bible Belt. He went to seminary, dontcha know?
He’s been hard at it, preaching all the woke shibboleths Megan Basham warned us about in ‘Shepherds for Sale’: Mary’s visitation was an explicitly pro-abortion message, he tells us. And the Hebrew use of divine pronouns in Genesis is proof positive that God smiles on the trans issues.
He’s perfectly happy to stand in a consecrated space of worship and bend any scripture within reach to his political will. Because like any good political radical, he puts on a religious act to deceive the gullible.
His party is banking on Texas being that gullible.
Which brings us back to the Basham book, which I [the ClashDaily editor] just happen to be reading .
Right in the introduction, she makes a case from history a hundred years ago that political activists were deliberately trying to use leaders in the Church as a vector for transmission of their ideology.
From that introduction:
In his book, ‘The Devil And Karl Marx‘, political science professor Paul Kengor describes the process the Communist Party USA used between 1920 and 1950 to deliberately infiltrate mainline Protestant churches and woo pastors to their socialist program:
I found repeatedly dating back a century, beginning with the launch of the Soviet Comintern and Communist Party USA in 1919, atheistic communists clearly tapping social-justice language not because they believed in Jesus (quite the contrary) but to dupe believers in Jesus…
Documents in the Soviet Comintern Archives on the Communist Party USA show how communist officials in Moscow and New York deliberated targeted [prominent Methodist seminary professor Reverend Harry] Ward to help push their propaganda. Ward is listed by Comintern officials as a source to get their materials on the shelves at the seminary library.
Kengor especially draws on the recollections of ex-communist Herbert Romerstein. Archived at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, Romerstein’s papers represent one of the United States’ most comprehensive collections on the subversive activities of communist front organizations. Before he went to work for he Reagan administration, Romerstein testified before Congress on the long lists he and his comrades had compiled of people and organizations they planned to target for exploitation. They called them suckers lists. One group, Romerstein told Kengor, represented “the biggest suckers of them all” — pastors, because communist operatives had more success infiltrating their ranks than those of any other group.
Surely we’ve all learned our lessons since then and would never, no NEVER be duped by wolves in sheep’s clothings on this, the Year of Our Lord 2026… right?
Well, let’s give the shepherds a wake-up call just in case. Their sheep depend on them.
