I don't know anyone on the left who is consumed with hate. However, I do know a certain someone occupying the Oval Office who is entirely consumed by hate.

Barr was a Bush guy. The Bush's have zero use for Trump. Yet you claim he is a Trump lackey.

No, it's not the president's fault we elected him. It's ours. He's just a symptom.

Do you deny that he is a bully? Think he's a good role model, especially in a Christian context?

All the talk about things being too politically correct, losing religion, etc is just code for people being upset that they can't irrationally and publicly hate people without consequences.

Is someone telling you that you can't be religious? Or are you just upset that a rainbow flag is allowed to exist?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Live your own life, stop caring about how others want to live theirs. That should be a very conservative position. Religious right has corrupted the Republican party.

He absolutely is. Seeing what he did with the Mueller report cemented it.

Not only do they believe they have the "freedom" to tell everyone else what they can and cannot do and control every aspect of everyone's private lives, they believe they are "persecuted" and a victim if anybody questions their authority.

I can't wait until this way of thinking no longer dominates politics in the USA. This is a big part of why people are so outraged about Trump. A few years ago, the authoritarian Christian Right was widely thought and perceived to be on its last legs. Now, in backlash against the same-sex marriage decision, legalization of marijuana, transgender visibility, etc it has sprung back to life and it's out for revenge. The radical religious right now dominates everything and is really the only voice that matters.

As expected, this article is vague and does not touch on true religious liberty. That is quite likely because Barr, like many, has a warped understanding of what religious liberty means, which does nothing more than jeopardize it further.

His actions - like the unsolicited love letter/job application to Trump - speak far louder than any previous work history could.
