I'm sick and tired of these Jesus candidates like Santorum pining to usurp the Constitution... [View all]

In order to enact some kind of American theocracy (i.e., Sanctified KLEPTOCRACY).

If you're a woman or a child, a non-Christian or just plain decadent, a liberal or non-political, or a just plain lover of true liberty, these assholes have all of us square in their sights.

Not one of them should have any place in our government, not even as dog catcher.

They will tell you that their faulty interpretation of the Bible trumps any interpretation or application of American law. That, right there, should be an automatic disqualifier for office.

Public officials at every level are sworn to uphold constitutional laws, not religious dogma.

The mere fact that Santorum and those like him are allowed to show utter contempt for our Constitution and their fellow citizens who are protected under the Constitution from people like him should let us all know that our freedom to live as we see fit is at dire risk.

Yes, we have a long way to go before full equality for all is accomplished. However, progress is currently on the march.

The last thing that all of need is some crypto-fascist, fatwa issuing, overly-pious bigot lording over all of us with a massive entitlement complex, turning back whatever progress that has been made. Creating fear and hatred of "The Other" on a national scale.

This, we cannot abide.

Before you know it, these dangerous fools will be burning gays, Muslims, atheists and "witches" at the stake.
