Why is Barr SEEMINGLY choosing TREASON over PATRIOTISM?

[hatrack]

37. Because he's a Dominionist who denounces separation of church and state

From Barr’s 1995 essay Legal Issues in a New Political Order:

We live in an increasingly militant, secular age. We see an emerging philosophy that government is expected to play an ever greater role in addressing social problems in our society. It is also expected to over-ride various private interests as it goes about this work. As part of this philosophy, we see a growing hostility toward religion, particularly Catholicism. This form of bigotry has always been fashionable in the United States. There are, today, even greater efforts to marginalize or"ghettoize" orthodox religion.

Okay, wow. And Barr gets even more extreme in his essay. A few of the highlights:

America should not be secular, but instead should enforce “a transcendent moral order with objective standards of right and wrong that flows from God’s eternal law.”

He blames crime, poverty, and even sexually transmitted diseases, on a nebulous Federal government attack on what he believes are American “traditional values.”

He outright calls for the Federal government to pay for religious education through subsidies

He calls for the creation of laws which “restrain sexual immorality” which will target homosexuals and transgenders

He complains about “laws which treat a cohabitating couple as a married couple,” and goes on to suggests housing discrimination against unmarried couples, gay or straight, should be perfectly legal

The essay goes on and on in this fashion, clearly demonstrating the depth and commitment Barr advocated to removing the wall between church and state.
