Take everything you knew about political fucktards and throw it out the window. Katherine Harris from Florida trumps all. This week, she announced in Miami (Miami of all places?) that voters need to elect Christian politicians or else secular politicians will "legislate sin". Sin, according to Katherine and her god include gay marriage and abortion. You expect to hear shit like this from talking heads like Michael Medved, but from an actively campaigning politician? In the coke capital of the country? Dear baby jesus....
Click here for the article and a particularly bitchy country-club-membership-havin' picture of Katherine.
Her campaign attempted a damage control by pointing out that Katherine was addressing a christian audience, whom apparently were completely flustered by the notion of seperation of church and state. Among the gems Katherine apparently threw out include:
-our founding fathers did not envision a secular nation (lucky for us, they did envision a nation that could adjust to social and technological advancements relatively quickly and painlessly. I doubt the founding fathers envisioned a nation that would have an "air force", "NAACP" or "internet" either)
-"If you are not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin" (I love how the article goes on to point out this same woman has come under fire for accepting 32k in illegal campaign contributions...wasn't there some character that got paid to rat out Jesus in that big 'ol bible? Peter something or other? Didn't that guy hang himself?).
-My personal favorite: "(katherine was) speaking to a Christian audience, addressing a common misperception that people of faith should not actively be involved in the government". I'm sorry but, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? What the fuck God-judges-sinners-this and Jesus-loves-me-that Christian doesn't have an opinion on political EVERYTHING? Christians have been poking their ass in legislation that affects them in no way whatsoever (re: gay marriage, abortion) ever since the government attempted to officially separate church and state. Unless you've been living under a political rock for the past 6 years, you are no doubt aware that the GOP would basically be non-existant if it weren't for the legions of god-fearing-faggot-hating-album-censoring pumping money/support into it.
Katherine (since I'm sure you read this), its like this dig? Your "Judeo-Christian" values aren't being held in question by any non-christian politicians (you share a party with a few Jewish representatives). You represent thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of non-christians in your state including muslims, jews, buddists, agnostics who really don't give a fuck (and shouldn't have to) what goes on with you and baby haysoos. They voted for you to represent them (well, at least we think they did, I heard something about a recount in 2000 that many suspect was corrupt, who was that? Oh wait...). Your lack of representing 'we the people' with bullshit statements like the ones in that article are what engender the 'non-christian' crowd to shun the church in the first place.
All in all, it looks like it'll be curtains for Katherine in November anyway....good fucking riddance.
