    Very enlightening.

    Of course I already knew most of it.

    Christian values......it all stars with the myth that we are a Christian nation.
    So if Trump gets in we'll have the Christian Taliban.

    Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if Republican election victories lead to more domestic terrorism. Let me explain. Little bitty state legislative victories in Indiana allowed state government to expand school tuition voucher programs. aka "school choice". That has been a goal of the Catholic Church in America since the 1870's, when 38 states amended their constitutions to prohibit taxpayer support of K-12 religious schools. Well, a Republican President can do even more to enable religious education on a national scale.

    Then, all the kooks can start up their own schools. The late cult leader David Koresh could have had a school in Waco, Texas. You know he was telling FBI negotiators he WAS Jesus Christ up until the last minute! Furthermore, what is to stop religious schools from teaching that Jews killed Jesus? Nothing, because policing a privatized system of K-12 education would be impossible.

    They coud teach that women and dark-skinned people are inferior, and get taxpayer money for doing so.

    That will lead to large numbers of 18 year olds entering adulthood with no tolerance for people who are different.

    Catholic and other private schools already get tax payer money in the form of free transportation and access to public school sports and after school facilities. The districts are paid from state tax

    I never could understand how that is a separation of church and state.

    Yes, even small amounts of support are bad. Someone even wrote a book years ago about those offensive school bus subsidies. Historically, and not but a few decades ago, Baptists were a major force opposing Catholicism on this issue, so it is ironic to see how Baptist leaders have betrayed their forefathers' wishes by -forgetting- their own past, and joining WITH Catholicism in the quest for a government check.

    Whores.
