...another todd akin quote...'at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God'

In late June 2011, Akin was discussing NBC's recent removal of the words "under God" from a video clip of the Pledge of Allegiance. Akin told radio host Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council that:

Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal, and at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God.... This is a systematic effort to try to separate our faith and God, which is a source in our belief in individual liberties, from our country. And when you do that you tear the heart out of our country.[31]

The sad thing is, in some congressional districts, that quote would advance him ten points in the polls. Michelle Bachmann gets re-elected.

This hurts my brain! From my humble perspective, one of the benefits of
liberalism would be the freedom to worship in the faith of one's choice, without
fear of being persecuted, or drive into exile - but this again confirms the
idea of some religious groups that because they cannot make all the rules, somehow that
means their religion is under attack.
