Religious Fascist of the Day Award - Katherine Harris
Katherine Harris, our lady of the hanging chads, has come out and said what many Republicans would probably like everyone to believe - but are afraid to say so. Only days after President Bush has reclassified the war on terrorism as the war against Islamic fascism, it seems we have a few religious fascists of out own.
According to Katherine Harris:
1) Church-State seperation is a “lie”
2) The Founding fathers never intended this U.S. to be a country of “secular” laws (this is a popular talking point for the religious right.)
3) Seperating Church and States is wrong because GOD chooses our rulers (feeding into the notion often attributed to Bush, that he was “chosen” to be president).
4) "If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," and end up with abortion and gay weddings and probably dogs sleeping with cats.
Though she's running for the Florida senate seat, Republicans continue to distance themselves from her. Not so much for her views, but because of other problems of “elect-ability”.
She's been tied to dealings with a corrupt defense contractor. So apparently God thinks it's okay to deal with corrupt campaign contributors, but not those heathen gays and lesbians??? Another great paradox in the Republican convenient and politically-expedient selective value-bashing.
