1. YES!

Because that will make the state treat the least among them in a more Christian manner, right?

2. My home state has lost its damn mind....

The Tea Party has infested the state at all levels and this is the type of insanity that rules in Nashville. Until the people of TN push back against this madness, I'm afraid it will only get worse.
