REMINDER: OUR GOVERNMENT IS BY THE PEOPLE

Despite our US constitution requiring separation of church and state, we are being turned from democracy to an hagiocracy.  

People who believe they talk to God are now passing legislation on that basis and as Michele Bachmann has stated, she is running for the presidency because of her calling from God.  I do not want a country run by people who hear voices (other than their own) in their head.  For too many years I worked in a psychiatric facility which taught me that most of the people who talk to God directly are bipolar.  In the unlikely event that we have an emergency in our country that requires critical logic and an awareness of consequences to us all, I would like to have a President who thinks it out and knows the human advisers to contact, when necessary.

The world is fast growing in the number of Atheists it can count.  We do not adhere to the slogan In God We Trust.  This is a world in which man must develop skills, be educated to whatever job is being done, and make decisions on the basis of the world in 2011 and what it calls for.  Fig leaves, apples, and disbelief in evolution have no place in our governmental decisions.

Those politicians passing bills that limit abortion (a right accepted by Federal law), those who support the killing of physicians who legally perform abortions, those who are trying to redefine when life begins even prior to contraception by forbidding the use of contraceptives have no legal place serving as public servants as they clearly have no plan to follow our Federal laws or Constitution.   With so many needs to be attended to by our government, such as job creation and balancing a budget that ensures our survival as a country, these issues on which I wrote may not be at the top of the priority list.  Do we need to sit back and wait for Obama to do it all?  Where are the dissenting voices?  Why does the media not make more sources known where people can be heard to fight these Luddites who are too powerful due their election to office in our government?
