THAT is direct violation of the US constitution. I guess I shouldn't be surprised; the US has a long tradition of ignoring its constitution whenever it becomes inconvenient,or when necessary to stop people who are different from enjoying the same rights.EG blacks,gays atheists,Hispanics, native Americans.
It surprises me not at all that such glib bigotry falls so trippingly from the lips of one of our young earth creationist loons,who tend to have the intellectual depth of a petrie dish.
For those who run for public office and are afraid to let people know what they believe have very little conviction in what they believe. Or maybe there's a hidden agenda, get into office and vote for what I believe, instead of representing the public that elected them, isn't this why they are called representatives.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
