Engle continues calling on young Christians to take up the cause and become martyrs for their faith to ward off "immoral" secularism, health care for all U.S. citizens, homosexual equality, and reproductive rights.

Most will remember Engle for his prayer cast with Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS), Sen. Jim Demint (R-SC), and Representative Michele Bachmann (R - MN) in which Engle condemned the so-called government takeover of health care and prayed for the failure of health care reform.

Brownback maintains that people should be responsible for taking care of their own needs in this regard and the government should have no role. This sentiment matches Brownback's documented desire to abolish Medicaid.

The prayer cast was hosted by president of the Family Research Council Tony Perkins, who back in 2006, along with Republican Senators lambasted Brownback for voting to push through a major restructuring of immigration laws that would offer most of the nearly 12 million illegal immigrants a work permit and a pathway to citizenship.

Note: Perkins was also responsible for mobilizing the evangelical Christian base in putting pressure on Democrats to end the use of the filibuster to block the confirmation of nominees by George W. Bush.

Perkins must not mind so much when his Republican friends are holding up President Obama's nominees and threatening a filibuster on every piece of legislation presented.

Engle also has a notable role in encouraging Christian "martyrdom" in the face of gay rights in Uganda where controversy sprung up recently from a proposal to sentence gay people to death or those who have knowledge of gays and fail to report them to officials in Uganda would be severely punished. Engle, organizer of "TheCall," openly stated that gays are "possessed by demons."

Rumor has it, Engle is planning major events in Uganda by taking his show on the road this coming spring to "reform" gay people and openly broadcast a call for violence to Christian followers against those who are gay.

Brownback had no response for reporters inquiring about the proposed Uganda law that would sentence gay people to death.

Another example of Brownback's seedy involvements includes a ramped up investigation by the Internal Revenue Service on a number of politicians who currently or previously rented a $600 monthly room at the "cult" affiliated townhouse on Capitol Hill.

Rep. Jerry Moran (R - KS), also a resident, and Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R- KS), who received so called "spiritual counseling" from the "cult" leader Doug Coe on matters of concern, told Tiahrt that Muslim babies are being born at a faster rate than American babies, and somehow that should be stopped.

Earlier reports indicated that Tiahrt was being groomed by the "cult" for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Brownback who has his eye on being elected as the next Kansas Governor. Both Tiahrt and Moran are seeking Brownback's soon-to-be-vacated seat in the U.S. Senate.

The owners of a $1.8 million townhouse (C Street) on Capitol Hill that has been home to Christian conservative members of Congress are falsely claiming a federal tax exemption offered only to religious establishments, according to statements made in a complaint to the Internal Revenue Service by 13 Ohio clergy members.

"The Family" describes itself as an international Christian movement. The group was founded in 1935 in opposition to FDR's New Deal and was known as "a virulently anti-Catholic organization," according to Jeff Sharlet, undercover reporter and author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power.

During an interview on NPR when discussing the religious views of Coe, Sharlet said, "You can be a Catholic and love Jesus just the way you can be a Jew and love Jesus or be a Muslim and love Jesus. In other words, being a Catholic in his mind (Coe) doesn't qualify you as a Christian."

As for Brownback's religious views, we will get to that.

A spokesperson for Brownback said that Brownback had lived at C Street years ago. Later in an interview, Sharlet recalled Brownback relating that C Street was a safe place to discuss policy matters, and even matters of a sexual nature. Maybe he was referring to the Ensign, Pickering, and Sanford sexual scandals, all with ties to C Street.

"At bottom, it does not appear to be a house of worship 'reasonably available' for the public to use," the clergy wrote. "We are aware of no reports of the C Street Center conducting religious education for the young, holding services for the masses or promulgating religious teachings."

The Rev. Eric Williams, senior pastor at North Congregational United Church of Christ in Columbus called it a matter of church-and-state separation, with this a potential example of undue church influence on government through members of Congress, "We've got an organization posing as a church."

Tying all of these tidbits together brings us to Brownback's religious history. He was raised a Methodist, and later joined a nondenominational evangelical church, the Topeka Bible Church, which he claims to still regularly attend, even though in 2002 he converted to Catholicism. He joined the Church through Opus Dei priest Father C. John McCloskey in Washington DC at the behest of Former Sen. Rick Santorum.

Both already familiar with "The Family" or "cult" were eager for more political prowess.

After Brownback's conversion to Catholicism, he met some very wealthy influential people.

Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan and former owner of the Detroit Tigers, has received awards for his pro-life advocacy, and later became financial adviser to Brownback when he announced his failed bid to be a presidential contender for 2008.

Monaghan sold Domino's in 1998 and the Tigers in 1992, and has since dedicated his time and amassed fortune to Catholic philanthropy and political causes. A champion of conservative causes, Monaghan has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to further this agenda, gathering both praise and criticism along the way.

Domino's Pizza was not the only entity founded by Monaghan. He also became founder of the Ava Maria Foundation, and started the ultra conservative Catholic organization known as Legatus.

The requirement of $5 million to become a member of Lagatus has shifted some over the years. Please refer to the chart for current membership requirements.

There is far too much information on Monaghan to place into one news article, please check out avewatch, a useful link for those who wish to indulge.

This is just a sampling of Brownback's insipid connections and personal beliefs.

If anyone is still hanging their hat on Brownback being a fiscal conservative, you can see a laundry list of earmark requests to date for Fiscal Year 2010. It is a long list, including one request for nearly $700 million, so allow plenty of time to browse.

One other matter, Brownback has now taken credit for several grants awarded in Kansas through The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, aka: Stimulus package, including a nearly $400,000 award to his dad and brother's hometown of Parker, Kansas for a sewer system.

Folks, Brownback voted against that money - remember.
