While this week bloggers around the world are engaged in the Blog Against Theocracy, we here at Theocrat of the Week wish to highlight the many fine people on whom who Our Distiguished Panel of Judges has bestowed the honor of Theocrat of the Week.
Here we unscroll the Honor Roll (so far):
Roy Moore, (the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme court, ousted by anti-theocratic fellow state judges) for his World Net Daily column in which he claimed that Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) is ineligble to serve in Congress soley because his is a Muslim.
Newt Gingrich, for a remarkable performance in which he sought at once to transcend his blowjobbian past; coopt liberal notions of pluralism; and to stand in the shoes of the late Jerry Falwell.
Sun Myung Moon, Messiah and King of the World to many, for at age 88, purchasing the prestige of a former president of the U.S. on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his flagship newspaper, The Washington Times.
Jim Tonkowich, President of the Washington, DC-based Institute for Religion and Democracy, primarily out of recognition of his leadership in dismembering the mainline protestant churches in the U.S. -- institutions that stand for religious pluralism and separation of church and state -- and thereby seeking to make the world safe for theocracy.
George L. Wilson of Children Need Heroes and Drew Heiss of Street Preach for their plans to honor martyred theocratic assasin Paul Hill in a series of events called "Paul Hill Days" in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 26th - 29th -- "to honor him as God's man and our hero."
About Twenty-Five Massachusetts State Legislators for sponsoring a bill that would proscribe teachers and other school employees from any mention of homosexuality (among other things) without a note from everyone's parents. (We have learned that half of the original honorees have since defected, and forfeited the honor of Theocrat of the Week. But then again, one could say the glass is half-full.
Joseph Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League, who won a big one at the Supreme Court on a technicality.
Frank Page, President of the Southern Baptist Convention, who keeps the libs buffaloed by appearing to be non-theocratic when he ain't.
Wiley Drake, Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention, for getting away with endorsing theocratic assasination for years. (He subsequently claimed he didn't, and his endorsement was subsequently scrubbed from web sites.)
Mitt Romney, for the clever coding of a theocratic message.
