And every single one of them is a threat to liberty.

It almost goes without saying that the Establishment Clause of the Constitution prohibits establishing of a national religion.

Yes indeed and they love the Constitution more than the rest of us too… sometimes.

Assuming they can even read.

American Conservative Christian Fundamentalists, aka Republicans, remind me of a lot of things…greed, avarice, dishonesty, MEANNESS, homophobia, racial prejudice…but the one thing they never ever remind me of is Jesus.

Just the second half of the second admendment.

That’s their idea of “Freedom of Religion” you can choose any of the Protestant variations.

Actually, the margin of error is 57%. So much for original intent constitutionalism.

I bet they also support rounding up non-Christians into cattle cars and shipping us all off to “re-education camps”.

astro_walker · February 25, 2015, 12:13am

kind of a setup, don’t you think? “Democratic-leaning” pollster polls republicans on directly violating the constitution. Not that the results are surprising.

cvilledem · February 25, 2015, 12:20am

I’m not laughing. This is serious and it is sick. We are doomed unless intelligence can gain a foothold on this mess.

darcy · February 25, 2015, 12:21am

No, not at all surprising. Remember years ago when Bimbaugh was doing his hate radio thing, complaining about all the liberal professors at the elite liberal colleges. Someone called in and said “so, all the professors at the elite Wharton School of Finance are Republicans.” Bimbaugh stumbled a bit and then of course attacked the caller.

cvilledem · February 25, 2015, 12:23am

Also the Flintstones.

jeffreys · February 25, 2015, 12:23am

They should make it a part of their 2016 platform.

ryanwi · February 25, 2015, 12:29am

Don’t laugh, they probably will.

rob_beatty_walters · February 25, 2015, 12:31am

Wait, what?

richardnixonhuberthumphrey · February 25, 2015, 12:33am

Sure they do! But they also believe that the natural numbers start at 2…

At a university level, one took courses or had reading assignments such as “origins of the Constitution”.

There one learned that the founding fathers knew the history of Europe and Henry VIII and went out their way NOT to have an ESTABLISHED religion.

This is, however, so far over the heads of people who are told by their pastors that the “US government is based on the Bible” or some similar nonsense.

Heaven help us all.

mrcomments · February 25, 2015, 12:37am

Shhh, you might start a Civil War.

cvilledem · February 25, 2015, 12:42am

Maybe there should be a CAT Scan or MRI that would show I’d you really love America. No, on second thought, the GOP would never go along with that for obvious reasons

What if you could detect REAL Christianity? Of course, first you would have to define it, but it sure would be fun. I’d love to watch Pat Robertson in the hot seat!

jootjoint · February 25, 2015, 12:45am

I don’t get it! Don’t these trained monkeys know that a “national religion” is not supported by our Constitution?! How ignorant, can a human get?
