No Pot, Booze or Porn????
Sharon Angle, the Repuke Senatorial candidate from Nevada has some "interesting" beliefs. She has long been associated with Christian Reconstructionism. Their spiritual leader,R.J. Rushdoony believes:

"Rushdoony wanted to base American law and government on Old Testament scripture. He advocated stoning to death adulterers, women who have intercourse before marriage, active homosexuals, and people who strike or curse at their parents (the full list of miscreants who according to Rushdoony should be bashed to death with rocks is much longer than this.) Why rocks ? As Rushdoony’s son-in-law Gary North, another leading Christian Reconstructionist, put it, “There are many reasons. First, the implements of execution are available to everyone at virtually no cost.” North has described executions-by-stoning as “community projects.”

I guess that's a little different take on "community organizing".

1. So, base US law on OT scripture?
Good bye Red Lobster, Joe's Crab Shack, bacon, pork chops, pizza with meat and cheese, blended cloth, etc.

7. Any image of Jesus is never complete unless the Prince of Peace is packing heat.

5. Because when I think about excuting people, availablity & cost-effectivness is the most important.
:eyes:

Well, I think I'll be watching the race in Nevada. Silly Carly in California will be boring compared to this nut. Carly just lays off people en mass and shrugs her shoulders. She makes fun of Barbara's hair. She is so middle-school in terms of crazy when compared to her neighboring state loon Angle.
