LIBERALS & BIBLE BANNING

The Republican National Committee, playing on the 'gay' 'marriage' issue seems to indicate that liberals will ban Bibles:
Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November.

The literature shows a Bible with the word "BANNED" across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word "ALLOWED." The mailing tells West Virginians to "vote Republican to protect our families" and defeat the "liberal agenda."

Now, are liberals going to 'ban' the Bible? On the grand scheme of things, no I don't think so. If we mean by 'ban' that you can't have one, buy one or use one. However, there's little question that in the public arena there is a de facto ban on the Bible. Try taking one to school or a court of law. At the same time homosexual 'marriage' is the cause celebre of the Left. So while I'm not endorsing the election of Republicans as the cure to societal ills, the mailer seems to have it about right.
