And Then There Is This Woman

I have avoided Florida's Katherine Harris' comical Senate campaign for any number of reasons -not the least of which being that she is down by, like, 30 points (actually, it's 35) in a state I choose to imagine being 'cut loose' from our union when I take over. And the every two weeks turnover of all major staff positions. And...oh, well, the list goes on.

But, this tidbit works into my continuing effort to keep my readers informed on just how wacked out these authoritarian (mostly) southern Christians are. she gave an interview to The Florida Baptist Witness and this is a highlight:

"But the real issue is why should Baptists care, why should people care? If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin. They can legislate sin. They can say that abortion is all right. They can vote to sustain gay marriage. And that will take Western civilization, indeed other nations because people look to our country as one nation as under God, and whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not Christians, because they don't know better, we are leading them astray and it's wrong."
