Republican is against the constitution…
Author: john@tequies.comHow is it possible that a republican is against the costitution? A certain Paul Broun has found himself directly opposed to a fundamental part of our most basic precepts as a society. He wants 2010 to be “The Year of the Bible”… What bible would that be? Our Jewish friends would say the Hebrew bible works for them… I’ve met those who perfer the Satanic Bible. The Quran is technically a bible. Maybe the UNIX Systems Administrator’s Bible? I have two of the latter. Our Mormon buddies have one of their own as well…
My point is this, he is ramming his personal ideals down the throats of people who have a right to their own opinions. As soon as we give him that power, we give it to others. What if the next guy comes up with “2013, Year of the KKK”? They played a key role in forming our identity as a nation too. Maybe 2014 can be the year of the Nazi? He is induging in an abuse of power and perverting the trust placed in him by the public if he subverts our constitution by blatantly ignoring a core element of who we are as a nation.
A particular faith can not be endorsed by our government without harming the very ideals that we all aspire to. I know that Rep. Paul Broun means well. He thinks that by doing this, he is sharing a special thing with people who are unaware of a great truth. He has good intentions… I think we all know the destination of the road he is paving…
