Moon: "homo marriage" is driving me out of America until 2012

The last time Moon said he was giving up on America, taking his ball, and going home was 1992. That was when the the defeat of Bush Sr. soured his feelings for a country he henceforth denounced as "Satan's harvest." This weekend, he's announced he's jetting -- while rolling back the date of completion for his Taliban-esque "Fatherland" to a Blade Runner-ish 2012. Is he envisioning a two-term John Kerry presidency as a long time out for Moon's access to the White House?

From a Mar. 24 appearance of conservative media mogul Sun Myung Moon (as read on his Unification Church listserv), the following ideas.

True Father spent 34 years here in America to guide this country in the right way. Yesterday was the turning point. Now I'm going back to Korea.[...] Thirty years ago, Christianity agreed with Father how to save the world. Now it's right I received the crown...[...] The reality is, if America doesn't follow heavenly ideals, it will perish. Homo marriage abuses blood lineage.

He concluded with one of several of his recent allusions to helicopters, as well as a shout-out to United Press International chairman Chung Kwak.

Tomorrow I'm going back to NY for a helicopter deal. Welcome Rev. Kwak as president of UPI in your heart.

He's also been talking about Jews and the importance of taking down the Christian cross.

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
