Orange County Board of Supervisors Blurs the Wall of Separation
The Crazy Rev. Wiley Drake went before the Orange County Board of Supervisors recently and demanded that the "baby-killing organization" Planned Parenthood have their funding cut off. He reiterates his craziness when he accuses Obama of being an illegal immigrant; then claims that both he and the Board of Supervisors are ordained by God.
As if that doesn't sound crazy enough, on March 10th the board voted unanimously to suspend the funding for Planned Parenthood, citing moral and religious reasons! You can see where this is spiraling, but to make matters worse the board is considering funding Birth Choice Health Clinics, a religion-based outfit.
Nod to Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Which is shameful, when you consider that this means that the various news organizations in the country have completely missed the story.
