Rep. Katherine Harris Makes Strong (Idiotic) Statements

Rep. Katherine Harris (Republican-Florida) made some strong statements over the past week in regard to politics and religion.

First off, when it comes to the separation of church and state, Harris doesn't believe such a thing exists. She said that it's a "lie that we have been told."

She also told interviewers from the Florida Baptist Witness, "If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin."

She continued on to tell the journalists, "we have to be faithful in government" going on to say because it's God's will. She believes that the separation of church and state is "so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

Was that all? Oh no. She went on, "And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing these godly men and women, we're going to have a nation of secular laws. That's not what our Founding Fathers intended, and that certainly isn't what God intended."

Republicans and Democrats alike have not shown much love toward Harris' remarks. Even Ruby Brooks, a veteran Tampa Bay Republican activist had these remarks to share, her (Harris) remarks "were offensive to me as a Christian and a Republican. The notion that you've been chosen or anointed, it's offensive. We hurt our cause with that more than we help it."

Harris' campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Marks made these comments following the negative remarks made in regard to Katherine Harris, "Congresswoman Harris encourages Americans from all walks of life and faith to participate in our government. She continues to be an unwavering advocate of religious rights and freedoms."

Is it just me or does Harris' logic seem a bit, how do I say it, off? She makes the claim that it's in the people's hands to elect "godly" people to office, yet she believes that God chooses "our rulers." So, does that mean that God chooses "godly" Republicans to go to the voting booths, but not the ungodly Democrats? Is that how it works? But then, what's the reasoning for there being Democrats in office? How does it work for God to have all the power and yet for the people to have the power? I'm confused Katherine. Please explain this to me. It'd be like a strict mother telling her daughter that she can't make any decisions on her own, for the mother decides all. Yet, the daughter decides (on her own) to attend a college far away from home.

I'm sorry to disappoint you Katherine, but have you actually read what the Founding Fathers wrote? While it is not written word for word that there should be a separation of church and state. It's s-p-e-l-l-e-d out in a manner that can't be missed by any objective readers. It'd be like President Bush giving hints about a potential war in a country, giving reasons why we should invade, and giving all the benefits we'd receive for doing so without actually claiming that we're at war. Wait a second. Didn't he already do that? Maybe he and Katherine should have a talk. I'm sure they could relate to one another's logical ways, or lack there of it, I should say.
