Katherine Harris

The Raw Story | Harris: Separation of church and state 'a lie'


And politicians still wonder why when I interview them, "how do you stand on the separation of church and state?" is one of my standard questions, the second one being "what's your view of parental rights?"

To anyone who has been a long-time reader of culturekitchen will know that my politics are fiercely founded on the right to privacy, secularism and the questioning of parental rights.

[via The Raw Story | Harris: Separation of church and state 'a lie']:

In a lengthy interview with Florida Baptist Witness, struggling U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris asserts, among other things, that the separation of church and state is a fallacy.

"We have to have the faithful in government and over time," the Witness quotes Harris as saying, "that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

Words to live by

I treat my writing like a privilege. It comes after editing the work of others and helping children learn proper grammar while developing their own style and voice. It comes after making sure my child's homework is done and making sure she is fed, clothes, and educated. It comes after everything. Scraps of stories and poems languish , missing deadlines and submission dates. There is no room of my own. My writing is interrupted constantly by requests and vacuuming and cries for food and attention and I feel guilty saying no, I am working on something that is mine. Thus I devalue my own work, my own voice.
