Please be aware this story may be a trigger for those who have dealt with abuse.

Jody Hice, a pastor, radio guy, author and GOP candidate for state legislature in Georgia, has gone and let some words out of his mouth that normal, decent people wouldn't. Be careful you don't scream and smash your computer or phone into a million pieces:

Hice, who is now the GOP nominee for the Republican-leaning U.S. House seat being vacated by far-right Rep. Paul Broun, told host Rick Wiles that the Penn State scandal was a result of America having “kicked the Bible out of schools and then prayer out of schools. We’ve just basically been going downhill since then and you get what you get [when] you kick God out.”

These people, I don't even... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

3. Someone needs to build an actual real wall somewhere

that represents the Wall Of Separation Between Church And State
(especially wherever RWers put the 10 Commandments on government property).

4. He does realize that Penn State is a public university and not a middle/high school, right?

5. I'd say she's right...

...if the Church and State were better linked, they'd have moved Sandusky to another college...
