This shit scares the crap out of me.

The newspapers have it all wrong.  They think the proper angle is how the Right influences our politician's mindsets.

For me, I just question how someone like this could be a Representative at all.  What in the system is broken to allow people touched in the head to advance so far in the system?

I am neither Democrat or Republican.  This stuff should bother everyone.

Religion is in the system and American gladly opened the door to it, offering the Constitution its door mat. 

Religion convinces people that they can make irrational claims about the world based on no evidence whatsoever.
