Scrotorum wants to impose conservative Christian law upon America.
Am I being hyperbolic or overly dramatic with this statement?
I wish I were, but I'm not.
Plainly put, (P)Rick Scrotorum wants to convert our current legal system into one that requires our laws to be in agreement with religious law, not unlike what the Taliban want to do in Afghanistan.
Scrotorum is not hiding this.
The only reason you may not be aware of it is because up until his recent surge in the polls, the media were ignoring him.
However, Scrotorum was out there telling anyone who would listen.
He told a crowd at a November campaign stop in Iowa in no uncertain terms, "our civil laws have to comport with a higher law: God's law."
On Thanksgiving Day at an Iowa candidates' forum, he reiterated: "We have civil laws, but our civil laws have to comport with the higher law."
Yes, that means exactly what you think it does: Scrotorum believes that each and every one of our government's laws must match God's law, warning that "as long as there is a discordance between the two, there will be agitation."
And as an aside, when Scrotorum says "God," he means "not any God (but) the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
So, if your God differs from Rick's, your god's views will be ignored.
Imagine if either of the two Muslim members of Congress declared their support for a proposed American law based on verses from the Qur'an.
The outcry would be deafening, especially from people like Scrotorum.
One of the great ironies is that Scrotorum has been a leader in sounding alarm bells that Muslims want to impose Islamic law -- called Sharia law -- upon non-Muslims in America.
While Scrotorum fails to offer even a scintilla of credible evidence to support this claim, he continually warns about the "creeping" influence of Muslim law.
