Libertarian Librarian

I was really hoping this was a joke. Sadly, it is not. So, in Alabama there's a chance that they'll elect a judge with no respect for the judicial branch to be the chief executive. Interesting concept. Also interesting is Moore's "mission statement," which includes his ideas for legislative, educational, immigration and tax reform. Oh, and morality reform:

5. Morality - Preserve our moral heritage.

Defend the right of every person to include teachers, judges, and state, county and municipal offices to publicly acknowledge God as the moral foundation of law, liberty, and government.

Oppose gambling, pornography, and same-sex marriage.

Secure God-given inalienable rights of life, liberty, and property.

Should be a shock, but we already knew that Moore has no respect for the differentiation between secular power and divine power and no respect for the rule of law. Most liberal hyperbole about the U.S. becoming a theocracy is just that-- shrill, unrealistic hyperbole. But this... this guy is genuinely scary on any number of levels.

And if you want to be really scared, read the comments in the "blog." I particularly liked this "deep thinker":

And for Bohica...I personally couldn't care less, about those who want to "worship in a different way." This is America! This country was founded on Christianity. Not on Islam. Not on Buddhism. Not on Hinduism. Not on atheism. If they don't like it here, they can go back from whence they came.

People from all over the world are fleeing from other countries to get to America. Why? Because of our freedoms. And who gives us those freedoms? Man? Not hardly. What man gives, man can take away. The answer is God. There are those that are fighting tooth and nail to eliminate, the very God who gives us those freedoms. Go Figure! We better pray they don't succeed.
So, let not your heart be troubled. Here in America..one can worship Myrtle the turtle. In a Muslim country, one must worship Mohammad. They're not allowed to worship ol' Myrtle.

Follow that? People come here for our freedoms, so if you want to be free to worship in your own way, you better go back where you came from, except, apparently, if you worship Myrtle the Turtle. That seems to be acceptable.

Ye gods.
