Religious Fascist of the Day Award - Katherine Harris

Katherine Harris, our lady of the hanging chads, has come out and said what many Republicans would probably like everyone to believe - but are afraid to say so. Only days after President Bush has reclassified the war on terrorism as the war against Islamic fascism, it seems we have a few religious fascists of out own.

According to Katherine Harris:

1. Church-State seperation is a “lie”

2. The Founding fathers never intended this U.S. to be a country of “secular” laws (this is a popular talking point for the religious right.)

3. Seperating Church and States is wrong because GOD chooses our rulers (feeding into the notion often attributed to Bush, that he was “chosen” to be president).

4. "If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," and end up with abortion and gay weddings and probably dogs sleeping with cats.

Though she's running for the Florida senate seat, Republicans continue to distance themselves from her. Not so much for her views, but because of other problems of “elect-ability”.

She's been tied to dealings with a corrupt defense contractor. So apparently God thinks it's okay to deal with corrupt warmongers??? Another great paradox in Republican convenient and politically-expedient selective value-bashing.

Yep, Kiki Harris is one crazy bitch. When your own party starts disowning you, just kiss your political chances goodbye. She'll probably wind up the head of some Christian fascist organization once she's run out of politics.
