“I know there are some people who would like to make this nation a secular nation”…blah blah blah. Yes. They were called the Founding Fathers. Now go put up a Ramadan poster and lanterns on public property an listen to the screams.

Exactly. There’s a reason Romney cited the Declaration of Independence instead of the far more important US Constitution in his pandering statement. The Constitution goes out of its way to avoid any hint of endorsing religion, but the Declaration uses the words “endowed by their Creator.”

This is a religious far right talking point, originating among people who actually want to turn the country into a real theocracy. And Mitt Romney is now parroting it.

It’s a measure of how thoroughly this craziness has spread throughout the Republican base.
