By God, and all that the sanctimonious Florida Republican legislators have decided is Holy, we will have none of that crap in our state. We do not tolerate the constitutional rights of our pregnant pigs to be violated, nor do we allow anyone to display their testicles (chrome or otherwise) on their vehicles. Therefore, we will not tolerate this separation of church and state hogwash. We have standards, they may not be too high, but they are standards.
This "religious freedom" bill that has been pitched by the Republicans as an amendment to the Florida Constitution would remove "an anti-American and prejudicial" provision that prohibits public funds (our tax dollars) from being used directly or indirectly in aid of any church, sect, or religious denomination. Personally, I don't want to see any of my money financing the next incarnation of that great Christian preacher, the late Jim Jones. I do not want the American Taliban getting any of my shekels, either. But what's to stop these loonies from applying for public funds if this amendment passes? Lawsuits, that's what!
Jesus H. Christ (I am having a religious moment here), that is just what we need...more of our state tax dollars prosecuting, or defending against, law suits. We already have Attorney General McCollum preparing to piss away untold sums of Florida tax dollars on his bid to kiss some tea-bagger ass.
Has the Florida legislature solved the homeowners property insurance crisis, and property tax issues, and no one told me? Have all of Florida's serious budgetary problems been eliminated? Apparently so since the Republicans have time for so many more pressing issues such as the religious freedom bill, and let's not forget the huge tax break to those who can afford $300,00.00 or more for a yacht. Is there no end to the hypocrisy of the Florida legislature? Apparently not.
