The Republican party would be wise to disengage themselves from the religious fanatics. I tell my fellow Young Republicans that constantly. Some of them listen, the others have religious dogma ingrained so far into their brain it's impossible to get them to disassociate themselves from the intolerance, hatred and hypocrisy of the zealots.
Religious fanaticism has no place in America anymore, and it never should have been accommodated in the first place.
My daddy, grand daddies, and sister-in-law's brother, all served or is serving. So take your mouth-breathing "anti-American" rhetoric and shove it up your cup of Christ.
They're coming around to the notion that the idea of a good, loving God, while noble, has been stolen, abused and politicized by the zealots of this nation. The fanatics have plastered His name on objects, like currency and the Flag, whenever they feel the urge to resolve a "cultural crisis," so they can idolize Him just like they do other objects for political gain. They've used God for violence, hate and oppression of liberties.
Thank GOD the Founding Fathers preemptively chose not to follow the oppressive crown and commingle religion and government.
