No terrorist attacks in Kentucky, thank God!

To paraphrase George Wallace: The terrorists don't even know where they are much less where Kentucky is.

But that's not the real reason terrorists have not struck in Kentucky - at least since 2006. The real reason terrorists have left Kentucky alone is because of a Kentucky law which requires the state Office of Homeland Security to acknowledge that "dependence upon Almighty God ... [is] vital to the security of the Commonwealth."

According to a report by John Cheves posted at Kentucky.com, "Homeland Security is ordered to publicize God's benevolent protection in its reports, and it must post a plaque at the entrance to the state Emergency Operations Center with an 88-word statement that begins, 'The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God.'"

Guess who's responsible for this desecration of our Constitution: Yup, a Kentucky State Rep who is also a Baptist preacher, one Tom Riner.


As stupid as this is, it isn't funny. It is a slap in the face of all the people in Kentucky and the United States who do not believe as does this idiot Baptist preacher. It is in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States as it "establishes" a particular religion. And it makes the state of Kentucky, known for its horses, look like its inhabited by a bunch of horses asses.

PZ Myers at Pharyngula [and a h/t to him!] says "I try to explain to people that American politics has been dominated by lunatics for many years, and they just don't believe me."
