		<description>You have to wonder what idea a person has when decided to represent as diverse a nation as ours.

&quot;...not everybodyâ€™s lifestyle is equal.  Just like not all religions are equal.&quot;

Not all skin colors are equal. Not all immigrants are equal.

Sound familiar...</description>

		<description>It is sad that a politician can freely stand up and clearly state that some people and some religions are better than others. How can anyone on the US be OK with that?  

The fact that she is not ashamed or her comments as a public figure is frightening. I agree that with our freedom of speech she can say what she wants, but she is a elected official and should be held accountable for such divisive comments when there is nothing tangible to back them up.</description>

		<description>She was a teacher?  A History teacher?  Really?  Wow.  Whatever college she went to might want to retract her diploma.

All kidding aside, she seems fairly uneducated about our forefathers, evolution, it appears freedom of religion works this way in her mind..


Christianity is number one.  It&#039;s okay to NOT be a Christian, so long as you keep it yourself and have no problem following all the rules of Christianity as enshrined in American law.

I fail to see the distinction between declaring Christianity our official religion, and merely putting all the rules of Christianity into law.</description>

		<description>I hope this transcript gets as much attention as the excerpts. She is dangerous, and not just to gays.

&quot;You know, he believed that we needed to have a society that was based upon Christian principles because elevation of science, elevation of knowledge is very important if youâ€™re going to have an informed public.&quot;

Elevation of science?!

&quot;Another thing that Iâ€™m real big on that is a real detriment to this society is evolution.  Evolution undermines Christian principles.  Period.  Thatâ€™s all there is to it.  You either believe there is a creator or you believe there isnâ€™t.  Some people say well I believe there is a creator and he used evolution.  Thereâ€™s a lot of problems there folks.  When does sin come in, when does the spirit come in? You know, itâ€™s evolution.  You read Godâ€™s word and you will see the word creation all through it, old and new testament.  And it undermines peopleâ€™s faith.  They have trouble reading or believing the Bible.&quot;

Oh, right. THAT kind of science. The kind that isn&#039;t science in any sense of the word. Good to know.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Iâ€™m not sure Kern is so honest when speaking to reporters.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yeah. Perhaps. I wasn&#039;t that familiar with her until this incident arose.

It is speculation, but given she had little compunction about retracting what started this conflict, I&#039;m not so sure she wouldn&#039;t be as blunt about not retracting this latest inference.

She seems to have little qualm about not separating her personal religious beliefs as a private citizen from her responsibilities as an elected official.

She seems, to me at least, to make no distinctions between the two.</description>
