Florida is one fucked up state, but...
my illustrious state of Texas certainly ranks right up there.
Gov. Rick Perry recently led an organized prayer along with a minister at a middle school in East Texas. His stance is that, in these trying times, the need to turn to a higher being is natural, and he sees absolutely nothing wrong with ignoring the Supreme Court's ruling against organized school prayer.
That's fucked up. This was no non-denominational prayer. This was a Christian prayer, complete with pleas to Jesus Christ.
What is he trying to teach our kids? That if you don't like a law, ignore it? Great.
I'll try that reasoning out on the next cop that pulls me over for speeding. "Hello, officer! I just thought, in these trying times, that it was important to get to work on time. So I ignored the law." or "Officer, in these trying times, its important for us to find a release, so I had a few beers before hitting the road."
Yeah, these Christian fundies are a LOT better than the Islamic fundies.
Its nice to know that God is on OUR side in this war. Then again, when hasn't He been?
