When accepting the award, Rep. Hostettler said the award represented the idea that, in a country founded by Christians, people should live in a way that holds true to the principles set forth by Christ. “I hope to influence others to apply Christian principles to government,” said Hostettler.
Um...doesn't that kinda go against
Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Whatever. The Constitution is just another law to disregard, right Congressman Hostettler? If the law gets too troublesome you can always lead the push to defang the courts, too.
Does it seem like I'm giving Congressman Hostettler a lot of press? Yep. See, I want anyone and everyone who reads this to see just what type of people they elected for their Republican majority. People who don't see a separation of church and state. Or a need for a judicial system to provide a check and balance on their power.
Legislators with good 'ol Republican "values" like Congressman Hostettler.
