Akin Stays in Race to "Spread God's Message"

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/21/akin-staying-in-there-is-a-cause-here-to-spread-gods-message/

“It’s also appropriate to recognize a creator God, whose blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is the very source of American freedom,” the Republican congressman asserted. “And that part of the message, I feel, is missing. And I think that’s something that we need to encourage people and to let people remember in their hearts what it is that makes America such a great nation. And life is very much a part of that whole thing.”

“And that’s the reason why we’re going to continue, because I believe there’s a cause here and that there’s a part of the message that’s missing and a lot of people feel left out of the parties.”


Christo-fascists on parade.

Which is a sad commentary on the number of brown-shirt American Christo-fascists who have such contempt for the foundational principles of this nation.

out there.

He is nothing but a heavy chain - and the DNC has an effective message, and needs to take full advantage of it.

Control the message!

God blesses women with children after rape, if they conceive.

That's their view of this issue.

What kind of god would treat women this way?

... because of his religion, and he wants to make everybody else live by the rules of his religion, instead of acting on their own beliefs? If that's not unamerican, what is?
