re: #33 Buck

Somehow when a republican says he is a christian he is theocratic.

Despite never saying anything to support the idea of a theocracy, the smear is so easy…

Forcing Christian ceremony into military funerals against the wishes of the family (as John Culberson tried to do) is a good example of giving support.

“It makes my skin crawl that liberals are attempting to drive prayer out of a funeral ceremony for our heroes,” Texas Rep. John Culbersontold Fox News, which has given significant airtime to the controversy. “We’re going to fix this so that no Obama liberal bureaucrat will interfere with the funeral of a hero.” In addition to supporting the lawsuit, Culberson has threatened to stop the salary of the cemetery director who enforced the no-consent-no-God rule and to hold hearings in the fall investigating the VA’s anti-Christian stance.
