"The astroturfed pandemic of Christian self-righteousness continues to plumb new depths, proving that like their Bible, there isn’t a part of the Constitution they won’t ignore, twist, or warp, in an effort to shore up their abjectly amoral personal outlooks.
Iowa Governor, Terry E. Brandstad, recently proved that by signing a proclamation that spits in the face of the Bill of Rights. With a stroke of his pen, Terry E. Brandstad signed away the separation of church and state, undermining a vital piece of our Constitution already barely supported by crumbling, termite-eaten, water-rotted wood."
