5. This is what you'll get if "Separation of Church and State"is not upheld...
I watched a thing on the Masons and it's history tonight. Now I don't know much about them, and have no opinion on whether they are good or bad. But apparently 9 or so of the founding fathers were Masons. They put the separation of church and state thing in the constitution for a reason. The documentary said that the Knights Templar, an apparent connection to the Freemasons, were wiped out by the church for being free thinkers, and advocating a separation of Church, State and Commerce. In the dark ages, the Church ran the show, making all the laws of the land from whatever the Pope said. As a result, inquisitions happened,and all kinds of people were killed and tortured if they didn't go along with the churches ideals.

This is the very shit that Bachman is doing. Making shit up based on her warped religious beliefs, and winding people up all over. If Religion is allowed to get a foot hold, and start taking over government, we'll be right back in the damn dark ages. Freedom of church and state was put in there so people could practice whatever beliefs they wanted without persecution. And government could take care of civic agendas.
If Bachman had her way, she would have every American bowing to the warped whims of cults like hers. She was elected to SERVE the PEOPLE, not go running around like a damn banshee, screaming her agenda to the country and thinking she's the messiah.

I think it's time people were forced to take a psychological exam before running for public office.
