Kidsey a republician and religious rite follower?

[shw77]

I just re-saw chain reaction on sci fi and realized that kindsey is one of those christian rite republicans, did anyone else catch that line he made about "this mechine is to be used to protect god's great nation" or something like that i have always thought he was a evil politican but now i think hes the worst kind a right wing relgious radical republician

it's a shame really...theres one in every family

The Stargate powers that be have been very careful to make the presidents and Kinsey politically ambivolent. There are arguments to be made for either party, but the real answer is they are not bringing American politics into the series.

Oh, and it's religious right, not religious rite. Though I'm sure he's performed his share of religious rites in his day.

kinsey's never been stated to be of any political party. he jsut is what he is

in this case, he's been written to be very, very...well rather goauld like to be honest.

he has blind faith in machinery/technology, he has his blind faith in 'god' (not making a religous statement here, just how the character is)...and i think it's so very ironic that he's got this blind faith in a deity saving earth...from an impending invasion by creatures who exist pretending to be deities

i always got the impression that kinsey was that way to gain more political support. the whole fundie thing alsways struck me as an act, all he really cares about is his personal power, sadly the same thing could be said for a lot of real life politicians as well, which makes the whole kinsey character that much more real and dynamic

I'm a Democratic campaign worker, a historian with a specialist in totalitarian states, and I do not find that funny in the least bit. We all need to remember that politics is an explosive subject and I find it extremely sad when it is pushed into a discussion of something like a television show.

I don't think it's appropriate to make fun of others religious views. I live in a red state. I have many very good friends who would describe themselves as fundamentalists. Equating real people, and real people's religious believes to a television bad guy is what is scary to me.

[AzMcNeil]

We are just comparing the 2....and views I express are rarely serious and are borderline stupid...Don't take any offense to what you see on here..It is just a forum for the athletically deprived...see, there i go again



and now, a word from our sponsor....

i dont think any one was making fun of real people. no one is saying there is anything wrong with being a fundamentalist (ok some people do say that but i dont think anyone has really said that in this thread) the thing that is wrong is when politicians use peoples beliefs to further their own agenda. kinsey plays at being a fundamentalist because it makes him look righteous and moral to the voters. thats what is bad, when people use the peoples beliefs to further their own agenda. actually mixing religion and politics is a bad idea to begin with. all in all i think the writers have just been trying to make the character more real. compared to the other enemies in the show, kinsey is actually the only realistic one. he is your typical power hungry, hippocritical human. he says he believes one thing publicly but then works to further his own agenda, at any cost. thats why i think that kinsey is actually the scariest enemy in stargate because he is the most real

Again I state..it's just a forum...let's all just try to get along!
