Church leader in South Carolina #fundie au.org

[Reply to Americans United for Separation of Church and State biennial mailout to clergy reminding them that clergy should not endorse candidates for office]

Just so you will know I will be standing in my pulpit and telling my people that the Democratic Party has been taken over by Satanists and telling them that there is no way they can be true to God and the Bible and vote for a Democrat. I will name candidates and tell the truth about each as I see it. I will do so without the least bit if (sic) intimidation by you or the IRS. The only one I fear is God.

A member of the Louisiana House of Representatives who eagerly supported Gov. Bobby Jindal’s plan to fund private schools has had an epiphany: Muslim schools might start getting taxpayer money!

Rep. Valarie Hodges, a Republican who represents East Baton Rouge and Livingston, now says she wishes she hadn’t voted for the Jindal voucher bill.

“I actually support funding for teaching the fundamentals of America’s Founding Fathers’ religion, which is Christianity, in public schools or private schools,” Hodges told the Livingston Parish News.

“I liked the idea of giving parents the option of sending their children to a public school or a Christian school,” Hodges added.

The newspaper reported that she “mistakenly assumed that ’religious’ meant ‘Christian.’”

“Unfortunately it will not be limited to the Founders’ religion,” Hodges told the News. “We need to insure that it does not open the door to fund radical Islam schools. There are a thousand Muslim schools that have sprung up recently. I do not support using public funds for teaching Islam anywhere here in Louisiana.”
