Katherine Harris, is frantically trying to shore up support for her failing campaign by throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. Her latest WTF? delivery came in an interview with the Florida Baptist. "If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," she told interviewers, citing abortion and gay marriage as two examples of that sin.
But, wait, there's even more! Separating religion and politics is "so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers," she said. That's right, America is just like France! There is a divine right of kings here. Did you know that?
I don't have a problem with Christian elected officials. As a Christian myself, I enjoy the familiarity of knowing that my core values are shared by my elected officials. Those core values of compassion, honesty, ethics and the pursuit of the elusive 'right thing' to do.
What I do have a problem with is exploitive and explosive political rhetoric, fear-mongering and whipping up a confused and small-minded base with fears that if you don't vote for me people will come to your house and force you into acts of sodomy and drug abuse. Wait, on second thought...
Ok, if you were to legislate sin....tell me what sin you would legislate. This should give us something super-fun to do on a Monday!
Scary Scary Scary Scary stuff. Hopefully the ravings of a madwoman that gain no traction.
love that Krazy Katy...what will we do when she is gone?
I would legislate that any rep or senator who has run on a "family values" platform and voted against gay marriage as a "protection of family" is barred from initiating a divorce until they have left office, and if they are found to have had an affair, they will be removed from office. Now *that's* protecting families.
Ooh, legislating sin is fun. My inner Puritan is totally coming out!
At what point and time does she just pull out all the stops and became the centerfold for Playboy's 'The Ladies of Congress' spread?
I just hope God or the Supreme Court chooses Krazy Katy as the Republican nominee. She still hasn't come out against sloth and putting retired people in work camps.
OK, I think I have this straight now.
Systematically Disenfranchising Blacks = Not Sin
Stealing Presidential Election = Not Sin
Control of Uterus by Owner = Sin
Tolerance of Committed Relationships Among Sexual Minorities = Sin
