The Emergence Of Christianastan. Only God Fearing Christians Should Be In Office.

Carson's statement on religion is really what the GOP believes if you really examine their rhetoric. A Christian form of sharia is all they accept as a legitimate form of government. We are really getting into the weeds.

Wouldn't these holier-than-thou-worthless-scum types be all about a society that at the very least takes care of its own citizens, instead of being mean, greedy, petty, and vindictive?

Are you religious? Religious people don't notice denigration of minorities until it is their own group targeted so decades of attacks on LGBT by clergy of all kinds and politicians from both Parties go unchecked. They let Phelps do his thing for years without objecting to it.
So yeah. Emergence. The straight community emerges from a trance to see that they have been playing with fire. Act accordingly.
