If this was the 1400s the Republican Party would be riding high. What's sad, is it's 2010 and Republicans really think their 15th century thinking proves they are America's Saviors.
Today's installment of the Republican Walk With God brings us U.S. senate hopeful Sir Rand "the Trinity" Paul from Kentucky and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa. Sir Rand gets all tied up with his super libertarian wisdom when he can't quite bring himself to answer a question from a right wing Christian about how old he thinks the earth is.
Just like telling black people they can only enter certain public establishments, it's also a hard part of freedom to not admit you think the earth is older than 6,000 years. If you do admit the earth is millions of years old, you run the risk of alienating about half your electorate. Difficult days for the GOP when a 15th century norm stumps you.
Then yesterday in the grand halls of Congress, Sen. Grassley pondered with the next Supreme Court Justice of the United States if she thought Almighty God ordained Americans with the right to bear arms. Not that the Founders wrote it in as the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, or that they were being directed by God while writing it in, but that ominous right surpasses even the creation of the Land of Milk Honey by being delivered on High from God Himself.
Just so everyone is straight here, leading Republicanism means the earth is 6,000 years old and God surpasses the Constitutional right to bear arms. You see, if it's God's Will that we have an SKS at our side, then anyone who says we have no need for certain kinds of weapons is going against God and His perfect creation for mankind. And whoever that person is, obviously isn't fit for office because in the 15th century only those who abide by God's understanding are fit to lead us. Wheee!!!
