Bring in the Straitjacket

Sharron Angle has outdone her loony self!

Not only does she say that Democrats will 'make government our God,' but also goes on to suggest that the First Amendment does NOT guarantee the separation of church and state, but rather protects the church from the state.

However 'in touch' she may be with mainstream America, people like Sharron Angle are dangerous to a secular democracy, which ours is, try as anybody might to convince us otherwise. Secularism ensures freedom of religion for large and small religious groups equally. Religious freedom is already strained today from many large Christian groups claiming more or less a stance similar to Angle's with regard to the First Amendment. Harming the Republic's secularism will only lead to theocracy and restrictions of freedom brought on by a majority's view of morality. If people like her get elected, it wouldn't be strange, in one generation, to see the United States transformed—if not de jure then de facto—into a theocracy of thugs that present-day Iran would envy.
