Tom DeLay: People keep forgetting that God ‘wrote the Constitution’

“I think we got off the track when we allowed our government to become a secular government,” DeLay explained. “When we stopped realizing that God created this nation, that he wrote the Constitution, that it’s based on biblical principles.”

“Governments like we have are very easy to destroy,” Hagee later noted.

DeLay recalled that he had closed the Capitol rotunda for three hours as Majority Leader so that members of the House and Senate could get “on our knees seeking the face of God and praying.”

“And I really feel now, Pastor Matt, the Lord has heard us, I see the Holy Spirit moving. And I pray every day for an awakening in this country,” he said, adding that people should get involved.

This is the same guy who, in his days in the Texas Legislature was known as
Hot Tub Tom

1. Is this the onion?

[ashling]

9. Unfortunately, NO

I frequently get similar crap from students in my government classes

[merrily]

2. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Adams and others "forgot" that as well.

Who knew all the Framers and Founders suffered from short-term memory loss.

3. Hey, Tom: How come your God fucked up the slavery part of the Constitution?

You know---the part that had to be fixed later, and set off a civil war?

My God isn't prone to errors like that. Like so many fundamentalist asswipes, your God has to adhere to your own low standards. Do us all a favor and disappear, DeLay.

4. Have Delay and the other fundies ever READ Jefferon's Bible? They might turn into a pillar of Salt.

7. And millions of lemmings would follow him to the church to listen to him preach

about not doing all the things he does and they would love it, why?

Because he is a white protestant who hates gays and blacks too, just like them

[Paladin]

10. No doubt. What a loathsome little man. (nt)

12. He could throw the first stone - at himself

He did crawl out from under one

8. Nothing says God written like

claiming slaves are 3/5ths of human.

11. There are rumors that Tom DeLay will run for his old House seat in 2016

I live in DeLay's district and the current GOP congresscritter in that seat is very weak
