Liberal Forum

Governor Bob McDonnell [R-Virginia] has been in the news lately because of his controversial 'transvaginal ultrasound' bill.He seems to be backing away from that radical piece of legislation now, since he's vying for the Veep slot on the Republican ticket.Bob McDonnell's radical views go back a long way. When Bob McDonnell was in his mid-30s, he attended Pat Robertson`s university, where he wrote a thesis that was titled, "The Republican Party`s Vision for the Family : The Compelling Issue of the Decade."Here are a few snippets of that thesis:'Leaders', Bob McDonnell argued, 'must correct the folklore about the separation of church and state'. He called on 'every level of government to use public policy to punish cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators'.He said, 'Man`s basic nature is inclined toward evil, when the exercise of liberty takes the shape of pornography, drug abuse or homosexuality, the government must restrain, punish and deter'.Bob McDonnell said the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut which said states can`t criminalize contraception, was illogical. He then came out raging against, 'the perverted notion of liberty, that each individual should be able to live out his sexual life in the way he chooses, without interference from the state'.LinkThis guy makes Santorum look like a flaming Liberal.He doesn't believe in the separation of church and state, and he doesn't believe that we should be able to live out our sex lives without interference from the state.WTF?You can learn more about Bob McDonnell's radical religious politics, and see that his views have not really changed since then by watching this video.
