Astounding: FL Lt. Gov. Bashes Science and Evolution, Calls for Christian Theocracy
Yesterday before the GOP debate, Ralph Reed’s “Faith and Freedom Coalition” (Ralph Reed? wasn’t he totally discredited in the Jack Abramoff scandal?) held an event at which Florida’s Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll let loose with an openly theocratic speech calling for ‘Christians To Step Up And Lead This Country’, and bashing science, evolution, and the media.
The freaky fundamentalist wing of the Republican Party has taken over, folks. There’s no longer any doubt.
Youtube VideoYou know the Bible says faith is believing in what is not seen, today unfortunately many in the media would like nothing better to ridicule Christians: they promote ‘The Da Vinci Code,’ they place doubt in the public’s mind that Christ was not risen and they condemn the ‘Passion of Christ,’ yet they sensationalize stories that call for the end of prayer in school and removing the name of God from our country’s pledge. Ladies and gentlemen, these are very sad times when we allow the minority to poison the minds of the majority. This is exactly what dictators and socialist rulers did.

Man does not have all the answers, some of our political leaders bow down to scientists and let them have the stage to push their evolution, but there’s nothing, nothing a scientist can make, that is exactly like what God creates.

Trust Him to give you the strength to fight back against those who want to take God out of our country. Trust Him to give you the wisdom to speak out against injustice and blasphemy of His name. Trust God to guide your path to bring about a righteous government. …
Ladies and gentlemen, Christianity is in a fight and it is one of the greatest trials we have seen in modern times. Without a doubt, America and her people are in grave need of prayer, divine guidance, protection, to have good, solid Christians to step up and lead this country on a proper moral path. I firmly believe that if we magnify God, our problems will be minimized.
