Last week GOP Rep Todd Akin said ".. at the heart of Liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God." His communication director Steve Taylor subsequently went on to tell the Post-Dispatch that Akin was commenting on a difference between the two ideas: while conservatives believe rights come from God, liberals think they come from the government. Taylor said Akin was not referring to any individual’s beliefs, only the “defining principles of two political ideologies.”
Putting aside the serious mental illness this guy exhibits by trying to speak for God, we have a separation between church and state. Anybody who believes our legal rights come from God should be disqualified from holding public office.
