Gov. Brain Fart and his unconstitutional courthouse bible reading

[47of74]

Gov. Brain Fart in action again.

Gov. Terry Branstad’s proclamation that encourages Iowans to take part in a statewide county courthouse Bible-reading marathon violates the U.S. Constitution by promoting Christianity, three groups allege.

Two of those groups — the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and the Freedom From Religion Foundation — said they were reviewing the matter with an eye toward litigation against the state.

“The government is supposed to be neutral toward religion,” said Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based group.

She continued: “Can you imagine the uproar if the governor used state resources to encourage people to go to a ‘God is Dead’ rally or a vigil to review how divisive religion is? Everyone can see how inappropriate that would be. This is exactly the same type of violation.”

Why do I get the feeling this is another Brain Fart fluster cuck we'll be paying for?
