Remember Tom DeLay? Well, heeee's back!

DeLay: Americans Have Forgotten That God Wrote The Constitution

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 2/20/2014 1:23 pm

As we noted earlier this year, Matthew Hagee has been hosting a weekly talk show called "The Difference" where he interviews people like Rick Santorum and now Tom DeLay, who told Hagee that a lot of the problems in America can be traced back to the moment when "we allowed our government to become a secular government." DeLay said that Americans have forgotten "that God created this nation [and] that He wrote the Constitution, that it's based on biblical principles," but he is also optimistic that the tide is beginning to shift, noting that when he was in Congress, he sealed off the rotunda in the Capitol building so that leaders from Congress could come together for three hours to get on their knees and seek the face of God.

in the government of the U.S.

Maybe someone should explain to them what family values are.

They have zero shame.

Hide behind religion and family values and you can get elected anywhere in the U.S.

Hint: the Constitution WAS NOT written by god. In fact the framers were adamant that christians not have control in the government thus the separation of church and state proclamations.

Yikes. He needs to crawl back into his hole and stay there.

opposed those who prayed in public, he felt they were showing off and insincere in their beliefs. It should tell you something about Tom DeLay and the so-called Christians who support him.
