Blatant Disregard for...Anything

I can't believe I missed out on one of the more blatantly disgusting quotes in Sally Kern's anti-gay tirade:

Not all lifestyles are created equal. Just like not all religions are created equal.

At this point I'm not even concerned with the anti-gay slurs. It rocks me to the core that an elected official would so clearly assert, while assuming a public role, the superiority of one religion over another. I mean, this is basic stuff here, guys! Freedom of religion, separation of church and state...this is Constitution 101.

Obviously, she failed that class.

As if there wasn't reason enough to be concerned about her comments simply from the angle of her hateful, anti-gay rhetoric, the fact that she is so clearly willing to cast aside such basic Constitutional rights has got to raise some questions. Namely, is this person fit to hold public office? Even the more conservative folks out there must see that this is troubling, to say the least.

The sad part is, if there does not develop a loud and public cry for her to resign or retract her statements due to her obvious inability to recognize the rights of all religions to exist, it will be because those religiously hateful comments are buried in the anti-gay rhetoric, which the public at large will either gloss over or, sadly, mutter agreement with.

Ah, sorry...I'm not an optimist today. Try again tomorrow.
