Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Wednesday told African-Americans that they had fought in the Civil Rights Movement for the right to support an Arizona bill that would protect businesses which discriminate against LGBT people on the basis of “religious freedom.”

In a radio interview, the Texas Republican asserted to conservative host Janet Mefferd that President Barack Obama would have never been elected president in 2008 if he had said “marriage was between two men and two women.”

Gohmert explained that Arizona’s SB 1062 was necessary because the current mindset was, “if you’re not willing to embrace the liberal beliefs that we have then your religious beliefs are not protected.”

He added that the First Amendment had avoided establishing a religion, but “some are establishing the religion of secularism. And everybody else’s religion has basically just got to go to blazes.”

and he wants to encourage other Christians to do the same - because that was what the message of Jesus was all about - hatred for others, fear of the here and now, judgment by humans, not the god who made them all.

hmmmmm.

I'd say the false god is the one manufactured by Gohmert and the Talibornagains

Sure the link works.
Sure thats what is says.
Sure Gohmert is a bit of a whack job.

I don't buy it. The next thing you'll be telling me is that the chicken's behind glued feathers on himself and jumped off an 80 story building trying to fly.

Oh wait.

Look up in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plain? NO! Its Louie Gohmert !

Just fighting for the religious freedom to persecute others.
Damn, I dislike Teapublicans.
