They don't care about America, children, the Bible, or Jesus. They just love their symbols. They don't know or care about anything having to do with the constitution, or American history or Christianity. Give them a flag, a Bible, a gun, and a baby, and they're, I don't want to say happy, because they never are, maybe content?

As George Carlin said "Politicians hide behind 3 things - the flag, the Bible, and children. I consider these things to be symbols, and I leave those to the symbol minded."
