   Prosecutors said Craig’s victims met him through a shared interest in Satan worship. They alleged Craig shackled his victims to beds, kept them in dog cages and starved them inside his Albany Street home.

   He was charged with beating one victim with a cane and a cord and with raping a woman.

   Johnson, who was third vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice-chair for the Young Democrats, was charged with two counts of aiding and abetting. Prosecutors said she knew her husband planned the crime and watched as they were committed.

   She has resigned her positions with the Democratic Party, said state Sen. Floyd McKissick, D-Durham.

   Well, isn’t that special? *shiver*

   Sick people those Democrats Satan-worshippers.

   Not really a Dem state. If it were California or Massachusetts, the article would have implied a strong connection to an ultra-conservative religious cult.

    All I want to know is this: did this wack job of a couple hurt any animals in their pursuit of their satan worship? Will PETA demand justice for those poor animals?

    This story gives me hope…. perhaps, liberals aren’t so untouched by religion after all!

    aw….cut the pious crap, will you?

    We’re having some fun here, at our political enemies’ expense.

    After all,
    Dems hold themselves out to be ALL science-savvy, ultra-hip, religion/superstition rejecting worldy folks, just as they say conservatives are all Bible-thumpin’ creationists< Jerry Falwell clones and science - illiterate global warming “deniers”.

    YOU BET we will jump on them over stuff like this when we get the chance. As John McLame is slowly finding out, this “highmindedness” and “turn the other cheeck” stuff has no place in politics — at least when your political enemies are working night and day to destroy you.

    And no one thinks “we” are “better than” the left. We think the Left is WRONG.

    Floyd-O deserves a special award for moral obliviousness. Hope he can pull his head out of his @ss long enough to accept it.

    Is no one concerned about the well being of the victims?

    Looks like Floyd-O will have many supporters in the audience when he receives his award:

    “Senator McKissick has been a tremendous asset to the Senate. He does his homework and is very knowledgeable of the issues before the Senate.”
    Senator Katie G. Dorsett, Greensboro, NC

    “Floyd has shown the fact that he is a fast learner. He has done a commendable job following the footsteps of the late Jeanne H. Lucas in representing the concerns of constituents in Senate Dist. 20.”
    Senator Charlie S. Dannelly, Charlotte, NC

    “A great Senator and leader.”
    Senator R.C. Soles, Jr., Tabor City, NC

    “A strong and effective leader who isn’t afraid to speak out firmly and intelligently. He understands the concerns of everyday people and the complex issues facing North Carolina”
    Senator Martin Nesbitt, Asheville, NC

    “Floyd is extremely effective in representing Durham. He engages in debate and discussions in committees. He reads all the bills, studies the issues, and understands the complex issues facing North Carolina. His fellow Senators respect his intellect and his contributions.”
    Senator Janet Cowell, Raleigh, NC”

    “Senator Mckissick is a strong and effective leader who has earned the respect of his colleagues due to his preparation and ability to speak to importand (sic) issues facing the senate.”
    Senator Steve Goss, Boone, NC

    “Floyd is passionate, articulate and knowledgable of the issues facing North Carolina. He also has values and principles that progressive democrats embrace”
    Senator Doug Berger, Granville, Warren & Vance Counties

    “Floyd understands the issues facing Durham and he has been a strong and effective voice for local government and the needs of our city.”
    Mayor William “Bill” Bell, Durham, NC

    It gets even better:

    Joy serves as president of the United Nations Association of Wake County. She is currently third vice chair of the Durham County Democratic Party as well as vice president of the Young Democrats in Durham County. She is also a member of the Human Relations Commission of Durham, N.C.

    Joy has traveled to Israel/Palestine with the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions to witness the conflict between Israel and Palestine on the ground. Before the 2003 war, Joy traveled to Iraq with the Christian Peacemaker Team to put a human face on the situation and to share with Americans the truth about the effect of the Gulf War and the imposed sanctions on the Iraqi people. Meanwhile, she speaks about her experience in the Middle East on a regular basis to any interested groups.

    In Seattle papers this couple’s party affiliation would be nameless until local conservative bloggers would figure it out and report on the omission, at which time the online version of the story would finally be amended with an off-handed mention of the D affiliation down in the body of the article.

    It is really no surprise because the Democrats in this state are ridiculously corrupt and have been getting worse.

    But:

    So the wife helped this bastard chain, whip and rape his victims.

    She got practice in how Democrats treated the Republicans. She was used to it when she saw her husband do it.

    One neighbor who declined to give his name came to court Monday to support the couple and held up messages behind the courtroom’s glass partition.

    “(They’re) innocent until proven guilty,” the man said.

    Hmmmm…This is the same Durham, NC where a black woman accused some young white men of rape, and they were “guilty until proven innocent”.

    Either they’ve learned their lesson (not likely) or the victims were white (ding-ding-ding!!! What did I win, Monty??)

    Good point - if you consent then it ain’t rape.

    I’m puzzled why she resigned? I thought democrats were all about diversity and ‘reaching out’? I’ll get started on a “FREE JOY JOHNSON!” bumper sticker design right away!

    “True” Satanists are atheists.

    Here’s video containing an interview with a Church of Satan “reverend” about their atheistic and selfish might-makes-right philosophy. The interview starts at 5:40 if you want to skip all of the preliminary stuff, though I recommend watching all of it for educational purposes.

    It is no coincidence that the metaphysics of “True” Satanism are practically identical to the panentheistic New Age ideologies, since the founders of the New Age heresies were also Satanists.
