Beyond the seemingly endless stream of similar stories, this one really got my bile rising. I don’t know if it was the subversive aspect (voluntary?) or the arrogance of the final statement:
posted on February 6, 2012“We were established to be a godly nation, a Christian nation,” said Alabama Sen. Shadrack McGill, a Republican from the state’s Eighth District. “We need God in government. We need God in the public school. The more we trend away from God, the more we suffer - morally and spiritually.”
I am agog. What is wrong with Alabama? Please tell me there is a lawsuit pending.
