S.C. POLITICIAN RIPS CATHOLICISM

We philosophically eviscerated this (er) “lady” on a thread a couple of days ago. UU’s believe in crystal healing, communing with animal spirits, and space aliens among us. They are certifiable loo-loos.

What a total a$$ wipe!

This was a zoning hearing and her personal views of Catholicism and comments were completely out of line.

While she has a right to her personal views, no how wrong and addle brained they are, she should go back and read the Constitution and the First Amendment and the Establishment Clause – presuming of course that she can read or has the basic mental capacity for reading comprehension!

As a public servant, her personal views of Catholicism, or for that matter any other religion, should have absolutely no place in a public zoning hearing.

I would say this would be true whether the zoning request came from a Catholic Church, a Jewish Synagogue, a Jehovah Witness Hall, a Mormon Temple, a Buddhist retreat, a Unitarian Church or dare I even say a Mosque.

Is not a zoning hearing to address concerns about matters of traffic, demands on public utilities, adherence to local building codes and general public safety?

When I read the article I thought, "Another relocated liberal yankee interloping in Southern politics."

Imagine my surprise when I found out that she is from Texas and her daddy's called Bubba.

Evidently, she answers to "Bubba" also.

I’m getting very sick of all the Catholic-bashing. And I’m a card-carrying Baptist.

(calming note to faithophobes: we don’t actually carry cards)

I didn’t realize uteri had rights.

Now I have this mental image of a uterus carrying a sign and marching a picket line...

Now I have this mental image of a uterus carrying a sign and marching a picket line...

It will in good company with the other sign: "Keep your rosaries off my ovaries". ;-)

She needs help - badly. Someone like that has no business in public office.

AND believe women need to be in a position of servitude.

**She should be equally outspoken about most protestant Churches in SC as they also stand four-square against abortion.**

True, but the Catholic Church is so much fun to bash! Some posters even do it here on FR.
