Harris: Separation of church and state 'a lie'

[zreosumgame]

LOL this is going to be one funny burn-out! Seems gays are not individuals to Hatie Katie:

In a lengthy interview with Florida Baptist Witness, struggling U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris asserts, among other things, that the separation of church and state is a fallacy.

"We have to have the faithful in government and over time," the Witness quotes Harris as saying, "that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

Excerpted answers from the interview follow:

On civil rights for gays: "Civil rights have to do with individual rights and I don't think they apply to the gay issues. I have not supported gay marriage and I do not support any civil rights actions with regard to homosexuality."

When asked if abortion is a moral evil: "Yes. Because it's a life, it's a life. Life begins at conception."

Stem cell research: "I'm the only candidate in the primary or general who's voted against embryonic stem cell research and has voted for cord blood research and adult stem cell research. ... There are no successes for embryonic. That is why the private sector is not involved and there is no justification for taking a live embryo and destroying it."

Regarding the Florida primary: "Florida is the forerunner state. ...hat happens in Florida sets the trend for what happens nationally. And with this election, if Bill Nelson wins, it’s going to be a very frightening proposition in 2008 in the presidential elections because whoever wins Florida will win the presidency."

3. If God is the one who chooses our rulers why do I even bother...

to vote. I didn't realize God did the choosing and I've wasted my time all these years.

8. God is a majority stockholder in Diebold, Sequoia, and ES&S.

So he chooses our rulers.

Is the rest of the first amendment a lie too? I need to know so I can decide if this is still America.

4. She can be summed up in her own words:

"God is the one who chooses our rulers." Er, wrong on both counts, Katiepoo. The VOTERS are the ones who choose our REPRESENTATIVES.

The fact that this rancid hack believes that leaders are divinely appointed is bad enough. But her belief that elected officials are 'rulers' is even more dangerous. She needs to fuck off back to pre-16th Century Europe, where she obviously came from.

7. Do repugs realize how badly comments like this hurt them?

I mean: four word rebuttal -- "American Taliban? No Thanks."

It's the stupidest thing they can say -- their "base" is already loyal and this kills it for the indies. How dumb can you get?

Oh wait... Katherine Harris.

9. We don't have no steenking rulers b***h!!

And anybody who feels that way should go to fucking Iran right now because they'd feel right at home.

10. Our founding fathers were Mason's

what I know about them I learned from my father who is both a Jew and a Mason, Free Masonry does have a religious or spiritual requirement,but it does not require membership in a certain church or religion and it steers away from state run church.

11. So is this what happens...

...when the Masons lose control of the government?

[azurnoir]

12. Neither George 1 or 2 are Masons

don't think Reagan was either. In fact I don't think any of the PNACers are
