The U.S. is not a theocracy, thank god. Although there are members of Congress who want it to be one. That would include South Carolina's Jim DeMint who wants the new taxpayer funded visitor center at the Capitol to have a more "God" in it. Bob Geiger has the details (and eviscerates DeMint in the process): Showing once again that whenever a transformational leader like Barack Obama comes...

[Hat tip: TheHill.com] “The Capitol Visitor Center is designed to tell the history and purpose of our nation's Capitol, but it fails to appropriately honor our religious heritage that has been critical to America’s success. While the Architect of the Capitol has pledged to include some references to faith, more needs to be done. You cannot accurately tell the history of America or its Capitol by ignoring...

I have to take a second to highlight this piece over at Carolina Politics Online touting Pat Toomey's Club for Growth endorsement of Jim DeMint for a seat at the Seante Finance Committee. Specifically, this part: According to Mr. Toomey, Ohio Senator George Voinovich is also seeking the post. With him being more moderate and a longer serving Senator I am willing to bet that is who McConnell...

One Senator, the very conservative Jim DeMint of South Carolina, despises this new visitor center — but not because of its completely inappropriate cost, of course! No, he’s just concerned that the center’s exhibits don’t praise God quite enough, and that the exhibits themselves are “left-leaning,” which is common D.C. slang for...

This is outrageous. There is entirely [...]
